Why We Would Rate Her at 0%

Stonewall Democrats of Arizona track candidates based on their support for non-discrimination laws, gender-affirming healthcare access, and inclusive public education frameworks. Anderson’s explicit policy positions stand in direct opposition to these platforms:

Opposition to "Transgender Ideology": In her public campaign materials, Anderson explicitly cites combating what she terms "transgender ideology" as a core motivator for her run. Progressive civil rights organizations view this framing as actively hostile to transgender individuals, particularly youth.

Turning Point Action Leadership: Anderson founded and chairs the Turning Point Action Red Mountain Moms Coalition. Turning Point Action is a prominent conservative organization that heavily campaigns nationally to eliminate gender identity discussions, LGBTQ+-inclusive curricula, and diversity initiatives from public schools.

School Choice and Parental Rights: Her platform heavily emphasizes "school choice" and a "God and family" approach to governance. On progressive LGBTQ+ metrics, pushing for parental rights frameworks that restrict inclusive books or allow the outing of LGBTQ+ students in classrooms drops a candidate's baseline rating to zero.
