Lisbeth Arescurenaga

Lisbeth Arescurenaga is a community leader and mental health advocate running for State Representative in Arizona’s Legislative District 24. She is running to bring lived experience, compassion, and strong community leadership to the Arizona Legislature. Born in Peru, Lisbeth immigrated to the United States alone at the age of 15. Navigating a new country, language, and culture shaped her understanding of the barriers many families face when accessing education, services, and reliable information. Those experiences inspired her commitment to public service and community advocacy. For more than 15 years, Lisbeth has worked alongside families, youth, and community leaders to connect communities with resources and support. As a community organizer and advocacy director, she has led efforts focused on education, public health, civic engagement, and access to services, including outreach and voter education initiatives. As a licensed mental health professional, Lisbeth understands the impact of stress, trauma, and limited access to care, and believes effective leadership starts with listening and thoughtful action. A mother and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Lisbeth is running to ensure community voices are reflected in policy and that every family in Legislative District 24 has the opportunity to thrive.
