Bobby Nichols is running for Tempe city council.

Raised in South Tempe, Bobby has written laws    and ballot initiatives to establish affordable housing programs, expand emergency protections to survivors of domestic abuse and their minor children, defend tenants from unfair evictions, and protect public events and mutual aid organizations in Tempe. He has marched on picket lines and in protests with flight attendants, baristas, teamsters, hospitality staff, performers, cannabis workers, college students, and communities of color. He has represented veterans, tenants, and cannabis conviction expungement clinics. He has stood alongside climate activists to demand a Green New Deal for Arizona. He has fought to enshrine abortion access in Arizona's constitution, and he fought alongside union locals in the battle against Arizona's anti-labor "right-to-work" laws.

Professionally, Bobby is an attorney representing the state of Arizona in cases involving the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of children and vulnerable adults.*

As a democratic socialist, Bobby believes that city governments should make life easier for workers and local business owners by lowering costs and supporting community aid. Tempe residents deserve more disposable income, and Bobby plans to put that money in their pockets by making our city affordable for everyone.

As a city councilmember, Bobby will use every available tool to make Tempe accessible, accountable, and affordable!
