The 1st District needs a Congressman who has the interests of the people at heart. Howard Shanker has a proven track record of fighting for the rights of all Arizonans. As co-founders of the Shanker Law Firm, Howard and his wife Tamera have been advocates for Arizona's veterans, children, Native Americans and the environment.

Howard's priorities are clear:

“Development and growth must be sustainable, economically viable, environmentally responsible, and good for all Arizonans.”

“Arizona should be the solar and wind energy capital of the world. We should be working to develop renewable energy sources to end our reliance on foreign oil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote economic growth in the District.”

“The character of our involvement in Iraq must change. We need to develop a responsible exit-plan that will bring our troops home safely. We must replace our current military posture with an international effort to rebuild their war torn country. We need to negotiate a political solution to the current morass.”

“It is essential that our veterans are treated with dignity and respect, and provided with comprehensive healthcare and social services.”

“Governmental fraud, waste, and abuse have become commonplace. It is time to elect responsible lawmakers. The wholesale privatization of essential governmental functions must stop.”





Howard Shanker is the son of a decorated WWII veteran, a family man, and a small business owner. Howard, his wife Tamera, their teenage daughters Rachel and Samara, and their 5 year old son Ethan are long-time Arizonans. Together, Howard and Tamera run The Shanker Law Firm with offices in Flagstaff and Tempe.

Howard graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. in 1989. He also holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Pace University in New York (1984). He began practicing law in Arizona in 1993. Howard is admitted to practice in state and federal courts in Arizona, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania (inactive). He is also admitted in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Prescott folks, the earthday celebration is tomorrow. Come to granite creek park and have fun. I'll be there at 8.

Hope to see some of you there.

RELAY FOR LIFE!!! We should have a representative at the Relay for Life at NAU. I will not be able to work a booth as I am attending with another organization (and its just kinda complicated and all). This said, I would be more than happy to go early and help establish a booth. Would anybody be willing to man a booth at this event. It would be a great way to get information out about Howard and to get some signatures on the petition. If you see this or if you know somebody who may be able to work a booth, please contact me either on facebook or on my phone at 623-533-1544. I think we have to move quick people.

Anyone in the Prescott area should come out to the Rowle Simmons Adult Center to see Mr. Shanker speak, along with the other candidates. Be sure to wear your Howard Shanker shirts!

Address to the Rowle Simmons Adult Center - 1280 E. Rosser in Prescott.
