My name is Lupe Conchas, and I am running for the Salt River Project Board of Directors in Division 4 to ensure electricity and water remain reliable, affordable, and accessible for the people who depend on them everyday.

I have proudly served on the Alhambra Elementary School District Governing Board for the past five years, where I have worked to protect public education, manage limited resources responsibly, and advocate for families.

In 2024, I was elected by my community to serve as City Councilman for the City of Glendale’s Cactus District. In every role I have held, my guiding principle has been simple: put people first. This race is deeply personal to me. I have experienced firsthand the hardship of living without reliable power or running water. Those experiences shaped my understanding of how essential utilities are to dignity, health, and opportunity.

Today, as a new homeowner, I see my own electric bills continuing to rise, and I know many families across Glendale, Maryvale, and South Phoenix are facing the same challenges. As a Glendale City Councilman, I have consistently voted against water, trash, sewer, and utility rate increases when they place an unfair burden on residents. I believe in responsible budgeting, transparency, and exhausting all options before passing costs on to ratepayers. I will bring that same consistency and accountability to my
service on the SRP Board.

This campaign is about accountability, affordability, and representation. I am running to be a strong advocate for ratepayers and to ensure SRP continues to serve our communities with integrity and fairness.

Allison Gullick is a proud Phoenician, community leader, and community epidemiologist who believes public institutions should serve people first.

She holds a Master of Science in Public Health in Applied Epidemiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology, Society, and the Environment from the University of Minnesota. Her work focuses on how large systems affect people’s health and daily lives. In Arizona, decisions about energy and water are not abstract. They shape heat safety, air quality, chronic disease, and whether families can remain healthy and secure in their homes.

Transparency is one of Allison’s core values. She believes people deserve clear information about how decisions are made, how resources are used, and how today’s choices affect future costs. Open communication builds trust and leads to better outcomes. Affordability matters because families need bills they can count on. Allison believes energy and water should stay reliable and fairly priced. Good planning today helps avoid sudden cost increases later.

Allison supports clean energy and believes Arizona’s sunshine makes solar a practical and responsible choice that reduces pollution and protects public health. Currently, she also serves as president of a historic Phoenix neighborhood association and helped neighbors plant more than 600 trees to reduce heat and improve air quality.

Allison lives in Phoenix with her husband, two children, and two beloved Old English Sheepdogs and brings a collaborative, data driven approach to leadership.
