My name is Mary Horeish, and I hold a Bachelor of Science in Special Education and General Education. I have been a special education teacher for over a decade, specializing in autism. Ten years ago, my family and I relocated from Chicago to Arizona. Since then, I have been deeply involved in our local Palestinian community, organizing numerous events that have included the participation of the mayor, governor, and other state officials.

I currently serve on the Arizona Muslim Police Advisory Board, a role I have held for two years, and I have been a board member of the Palestinian American Community Center (PACC Action) for the past eight years.
