Good Government Series: Arizona Legislative District 13

Join us for an event of the Good Government Series as we host an engaging discussion with our elected officials from Arizona Legislative District 13. This forum offers Chamber members the opportunity to hear directly from state leaders, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the issues affecting our region.

About Representative Jeff Weninger

Representative Jeff Weninger is serving his first term for Legislative District 13 after previously serving in the House of Representatives for four terms representing Legislative District 17. His district serves Gilbert, Sun Lakes, and a large portion of Chandler, where Jeff resides with his wife, Janet, and raised their three children.

Before serving as a State Representative, Jeff served on the Chandler City Council for eight years and held the position of Vice Mayor. He became known as the commonsense councilman and created a culture that ultimately changed the way Chandler employees approached spending tax dollars. Chandler's budget remained one of the strongest in the state during the economic downturn, without cutting needed services.

Jeff served on and worked with several community and government boards including:

• State Precinct Committeeman
• Childhelp Advisory Board
• The Greater Phoenix Economic Council
• Chandler Airport Commission

Representative Weninger is proud to serve the citizens of Arizona. He has made a commitment to be a leader for small businesses, education dollars in the classrooms, and to ensure the safety and protection of every citizen in the great state of Arizona.
