    Brieanna “Brie” Chillious  Bio

    My name is Brieanna Chillious, but I prefer to be referred to as Brie (like the cheese)! I am a Children's Librarian within the Pima County Public Library System (and am actually the county's first Black Children's Librarian...ever). I am currently running for one of the spots for the Tucson Unified School District's (TUSD) School Governing Board in this year's election, which is a major feat alone, especially as a former school district employee (specifically, as a former school library assistant).

    Recorder Cázares-Kelly Bio

    Gabriella Cázares-Kelly (she/her) is the Pima County Recorder, taking office in January 2021. She leads an office that oversees voter registration, early voting, and document recording for the county. She is a proud, union-dues-paying, former #RedForEd public school educator and community organizer. She is one of four women who co-founded Indivisible Tohono, a grassroots, community organization that provides opportunities for education and civic engagement for members of her tribe, the Tohono O’odham Nation. She was inspired to run for office after encountering many systemic barriers preventing people from simply getting registered to vote. She lives with her husband, Ryan, and their two children, who are now voting age. She is the first Native American to hold an elected Pima County office and one of only four Native Americans to ever hold a county-level office in Arizona.
