Meet AZ Veterans making a difference
|
Team, today is a day to honor our veterans.
Our veterans make a huge sacrifice to serve our country! For some veterans, like Angel Wells and State Senator Jamescita Peshlakai, that service to our country continues outside of their service in our armed forces.
Here is how these two veterans are still making a difference:

Jamescita Peshlakai (SD-07) is a Democratic member of the Arizona State Senate, serving since 2017. She previously served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2013 until 2015. Peshlakai is also a member of the Navajo Nation and a mother of two daughters.
Peshlakai is a combat veteran of the Persian Gulf War, having served eight years in the U.S. Army. A veterans' advocate, she spearheaded an initiative to create an independent veterans' affairs agency for the Navajo Nation and succeeded. She was recently awarded the "Copper Star Award" by the Unified Arizona Veterans of Arizona for her advocacy.

Angel Wells served in the United States Army for four years as a Ground Support Specialist. Wells was attached to the 3673rd Maintenance Unit and the 81st Troop Command. Upon leaving the military, Wells moved to Arizona in 2013. Wells is a member of CWA Local 7050 and was elected chair of the Arizona Democrats Labor Council in August.
These two veterans are not only leaders but they are committed to making Arizona and our country a better place. Thank you to them and to all Arizona veterans for their service!
Sincerely,
Arizona Democrats
