Arizona House Democratic Leader Andrés Cano announced he intends to resign when the current legislative session ends, so he can begin pursuit of a graduate degree this summer at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Andrés Cano, 31, was first elected in 2018 and again in 2020 and 2022. The House Democratic Caucus picked him to be minority leader last year.
He also plans to step down in June from his role as director of the LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund, an initiative of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona. From 2012 to 2019, Cano served as policy advisor to the late Richard Elias, former chairman of the Pima County Board of Supervisors. Current Board Chair Adelita Grijalva and Supervisor Sharon Bronson issued a statement congratulating Cano on his acceptance to the Harvard program after a "meteoric rise" to Democratic leader that began when he secured a county internship at 14.
"Andrés has understood since he was a child that the power of government can be best used to provide opportunity and ensure fairness," Grijalva said. "He’s a force of nature and Harvard better get ready; a whirlwind of positive energy is about to blow into Cambridge."
