In 2011 Justine married her husband Garret, a retired major with twenty-two years in the United States Armed Forces. Together, they're raising a beautiful blended family, including four children who have gone on to enlist like their father and two children with special needs.

Motherhood has motivated Justine's crusade in Pima County on issues as expansive as education to healthcare. In a system that's been designed to benefit itself, children with disabilities and their parents need an advocate that prioritize their rights and interests. In 2018, in defense of her own daughter's safety and dignity, Justine challenged both state and federal agencies and won.

A self-described "citizen legislator" Justine used her first-term as an instrument of her constituents, seeking their input on legislation and writing bills reflecting their concerns. She set a new record as a freshman legislator for the most sponsored bills passed out of the Arizona Senate.

She was honored as "Freshman Senator of the Year" by the Arizona Republican Party and recognized as "Elected Official of the Year 2023" by the Arizona Coalition of School Boards.

Justine Wadsack is incredibly proud to serve the people of Arizona and to represent her neighbors in LD17.
