Support our Families. Invest in Education. Respect for Veterans Always.

Dr. Benny Rodriguez is a tough-minded, well-respected, award-winning

public servant who has dedicated more than 31 years to service as a

teacher, athletic coach, school counselor, and principal—and nearly a

decade as a national education advocate working directly with Congress

and the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C. Benny is running for Congress

to bring experienced, accountable leadership to Arizona’s 6th District and

to deliver results for working families, rural communities, veterans, and students.

Born in Prescott, Arizona, and raised in Duncan in Greenlee County,

Benny comes from a family whose roots in Southern Arizona date back to

the 1800s. His grandparents were farmers and ranchers who taught him

the value of hard work, integrity, and service. His grandmother, Rosa,

served as the nanny to Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed

to the U.S. Supreme Court—an experience that instilled in Benny a

lifelong belief in education, perseverance, and public service. Public

service runs deep in Benny’s family. His father served as a U.S. Army

helicopter crew chief during the Vietnam era before becoming an

educator. His mother raised three children while returning to school and

dedicating her career to education. Inspired by their example, Benny

committed his life to serving students, families, veterans, and

communities across Arizona.
