Lydia Hernandez is an American politician serving as a member of the Arizona House of Representatives for the 24th district since January 2023. A Democrat, she previously served in the House from 2013 through 2015 representing the 29th district.

Career

Hernandez has served as an elected member of the Cartwright Elementary School District Board since 2004. In this role, she attended a Mexican American School Boards Association meeting in Texas in 2019 and reportedly caused a scene while intoxicated. She was banned from the organization's events for two years and her position as chair-elect of the National Hispanic Council of the National School Boards Association was revoked due to the incident.^[1]

She endorsed Republican Doug Ducey in the 2018 Arizona gubernatorial election.^[2]

Arizona House of Representatives

Hernandez has served in the Arizona House of Representatives twice, first from 2013 to 2015 and currently since 2023.

Tenure

Hernandez voted with Republicans to ban photo radar and red light cameras from ticketing drivers.^[3]

In February 2024, Hernandez filed an ethics complaint alleging other Arizona Democrats bullied her. The complaint was ultimately dismissed for being identical to a previously dismissed workplace harassment complaint made by her.^[4]

Campaigns

2014 State Senate campaign

In 2014, Hernandez ran for Arizona State Senate after incumbent senator Steve Gallardo retired to run for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. She was narrowly defeated by fellow representative Martín Quezada in the Democratic primary.

2016 State Senate campaign

She ran for the seat again in 2016, challenging Quezada in the Democratic primary. The race was notably uncivil and negative between the two candidates, with both candidates and their respective supporters attacking each other on social media.^[2] Quezada ultimately defeated Hernandez again.

2019 Phoenix City Council campaign

In 2019, Hernandez ran for Phoenix City Council. She was defeated in the primary election.^[5]
