This fall has been full of incredible moments across Southern and Eastern Arizona as Cheryl Caswell hit the road to meet with the hardworking families, ranchers, farmers, and small-business owners who make our communities strong. From county fairs to local festivals, Cheryl has been honored to listen, connect, and celebrate what makes our state special: faith, family, and freedom.

“After traveling across our district this fall, I’ve had the privilege of seeing the heart of Arizona in every handshake, every mile, and every dusty backroad. I’m more determined than ever to stand up for our rural way of life, protect our freedoms, and bring real leadership to the Capitol. Each day reminds me why I’m running — to be a strong voice for rural communities and to defend the values that make Arizona home.” - Cheryl Caswell

Santa Cruz County Fair- Sonoita, Arizona

The season kicked off at the Santa Cruz County Fair, where Cheryl enjoyed meeting local families, 4H members, and agricultural leaders. The fair was a great reminder of the heart and tradition that drive Arizona’s rural communities, the same values Cheryl is fighting to protect.

Lady Patriots Constitution Day- Vail, Arizona

At the Lady Patriots Constitution Day celebration, Cheryl spoke with local patriots about defending the freedoms our Founding Fathers fought for. She shared her commitment to upholding the Constitution, protecting parental rights, and ensuring government accountability. Cheryl brought along a little friendly competition with her Rain Gutter Regatta, where kids (and a few grown-ups!) raced toy boats and showed their patriotic spirit in full sail.

Graham County Salsa Fest- Safford, Arizona

Nothing brings a community together like great food and good company! The Salsa Fest in Safford was a lively day filled with small-business vendors, music, and conversations about keeping rural Arizona’s economy strong.

United Republicans 4AZ Candidate Roundup- Pima county Arizona

Cheryl joined fellow conservative candidates for the United Republicans 4AZ Candidate Roundup, an energizing event centered on collaboration and commitment to protecting Arizona values. Cheryl spoke about securing our border, defending water rights, and standing up for rural voices often overlooked in State Capitol politics.

Rex Allen Days- Wilcox, Arizona

Rex Allen Days in Willcox is a celebration of Arizona’s western heritage, and Cheryl was proud to join the community in honoring that tradition. From the parade to the rodeo, she connected with families who represent the grit and determination that built our state.

The weekend didn’t come without a little challenge: a rainstorm on the first day shredded our campaign tent! But in true Arizona fashion, our amazing volunteers and fellow vendors came together to rebuild, laugh, and persevere through the storm. It was the perfect reminder of the resilience and community spirit that defines Willcox and rural Arizona.

Cochise County Fair- Douglas, Arizona

At the Cochise County Fair, Cheryl met with local students, farmers, and fairgoers to talk about the future of agriculture, education, and water in Arizona. As a lifelong supporter of 4H and FFA programs, Cheryl was inspired by the next generation of leaders she met there.

Graham County Fair- Safford, Arizona

Back in Graham County, Cheryl spent time with longtime supporters and new friends at the county fair, listening to what matters most: safer communities, stronger schools, and protecting our rural way of life.

Helldorado Days– Tombstone, Arizona

The Helldorado Parade is one of Arizona’s most iconic Wild West celebrations, dating back to 1929. It’s held every October and honors Tombstone’s rugged frontier history with a full weekend of reenactments, gunfights, and Old West pageantry. Crowds lined Allen Street to cheer on riders, floats, and mounted groups, it was dusty, loud, and absolutely unforgettable. Lets continue on the campaign trail to blaze a better Arizona with Cheryl!

Benson Butterfield Rodeo

At the Benson Butterfield Rodeo, Cheryl joined fellow Arizonans in celebrating small-town spirit and western pride. She spoke with local ranching families about protecting property rights and defending the freedom to live and work without government overreach.

Pima County Pre-Holiday Festival

To wrap up the fall season, Cheryl attended the Pima County Pre-Holiday Festival, a joyful community event full of local vendors, crafts, and holiday cheer. It was a reminder that community and faith keep Arizona strong all year long.
