Lupe Conchas
Lupe knows what it means to go without reliable power, and that experience drives everything about his campaign. As a new homeowner watching his bills climb, and as former Board President of the Alhambra Elementary School District where he led a $10 million solar investment, he brings both personal stakes and real institutional experience to this race. He’s running to make sure SRP serves the families in Glendale, Maryvale, and South Phoenix who are getting hit hardest by rising rates.
On rooftop solar: Supports solar as part of a balanced approach that protects reliability and keeps costs affordable for everyone. On battery storage: “Battery storage, if structured correctly, can help reduce peak demand, improve resilience, and avoid even more expensive infrastructure costs in the long run.”
On SRP elections: “Stronger public accountability isn’t a radical position, it’s basic governance.” Supports more voter education, more public input, and clearer conflict-of-interest rules.
