Bernadette Greene Placentia Launches Campaign for Congress in Arizona’s 8th District on Women’s Equality Day

[Phoenix, AZ] — Today, on Women’s Equality Day — the historic anniversary of when women earned the right to vote through the ratification of the 19th Amendment — Bernadette Greene Placentia officially announced her candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District.

Bernadette’s campaign launch on this day underscores the enduring importance of women’s voices in shaping the future of our democracy. “The fight for equality is far from over,” Bernadette said. “A century ago, women secured the right to vote, but today we still face systemic challenges that hold too many families back. I am running for Congress to ensure that every voice is heard, every vote matters, and every community has a representative who will fight tirelessly for fairness, justice, and opportunity.”

A lifelong advocate for working families, Bernadette Greene Placentia has dedicated her career to advancing equity, expanding educational opportunities, and ensuring access to affordable healthcare. Her campaign will focus on defending reproductive rights, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, and creating good-paying jobs that allow Arizona families to thrive.

“Women’s Equality Day is not only a reminder of how far we’ve come, but also a call to action for how far we still must go,” Bernadette added. “This campaign is about building a future where every woman, every family, and every community in Arizona has the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.”

Bernadette Greene Placentia enters the race for Arizona’s 8th District at a pivotal moment for the state and the nation, pledging to bring integrity, accountability, and real leadership to Washington, D.C.
