LD27 State Representative Kevin Payne talks to constituents.

LD27 State Senator Anthony Kern and LD27 State Representative Kevin Payne have filed their 2024 paperwork, but with a twist. Kern will be running for the State House while Payne will be running for the State Senate.

“Kevin Payne is a solid conservative who is doing great and important work on a number of issues, especially those related to public safety and Arizona’s military and veterans.” said Kern, “With him reaching his term limits in the State House I asked if he would consider switching places with me so that he could keep fighting for those issues.”

“First off, let me just say that Anthony Kern hasn’t just been one of the hardest working State Senators in Arizona, he’s a selfless guy who wants what is best for Arizona.” responded Payne, “So I appreciate his offer and I’ll be glad to work hard for both my own election as well as his. We need his solid conservative presence in the State House.”

Both Kern and Payne have been recognized by pro-family and pro-free market groups for their voting records and they were each recently named as “Inflation Fighters” as well.

The district’s other State Representative is current Speaker of the House Ben Toma, who endorsed the move and their 2024 campaigns.

“This is great news for the district and the state. Kevin and Anthony are hard-working, solid conservatives, who focus on getting the work done. I look forward to voting for both of them!” said Speaker Toma.
