Meet Brian

My name is Brian Hualde, and I’m proud to be a fourth-generation Arizonan, born and raised in Phoenix. I come from a family rooted in resilience—my grandparents immigrated to Arizona from the Basque region of Spain in search of opportunity and a better life. Their values of hard work, service, and community still guide me today.

I spent my early years in central and northern Arizona, graduating from Prescott High School before attending Northern Arizona University. Like many young Americans, I felt a deep call to serve and left college to enlist in the United States Army. I served honorably as a medic and deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where I gained firsthand insight into leadership, sacrifice, and the strength of the human spirit.

After my military service, I returned to NAU to complete my undergraduate studies, where I also met my wife. Together, we’ve built a life centered around family, community, and service. I pursued a Master’s Degree from the University of South Alabama while working as a nurse and raising our young children. Our journey took us from Peoria to East Mesa, where we’ve lived since 2020. Today, we are the proud parents of six amazing kids who keep us busy and inspired—especially through their love of sports.

Throughout my life, I’ve paid close attention to politics, but the increasing polarization and division in recent years compelled me to take action. Like many Americans, I’ve felt the pressure to stay silent rather than share my views. That silence is exactly why I’ve decided to step forward. If I feel this way, I know countless others do too.

I’m running because I believe in unity over division, solutions over soundbites, and a future where every voice matters. I want to be a representative who listens—not just to one side, but to everyone. I believe legislation should be built on bipartisan cooperation and should reflect the diverse needs of our communities.

Most of all, I want to leave behind a better, stronger future for my children—and yours. I hope you’ll join me in this campaign and help bring thoughtful, compassionate leadership back to public service.

Together, we can build a future that works for all of us.
