Candidate Snapshot
Background & Why They’re Running
Lister is the Dilkon chapter president and the daughter of a USMC combat veteran (Purple Heart, Bronze Star). She says her current delegate was rarely present — she saw her once — leaving local projects stalled, which is why she's running.
Where Andrienne Lister Stands
Each topic below is drawn from the interview — the question Cal asked, and a short summary of the answer, generated by AI from the interview recording.
Stalled Chapter Projects
Cal asked: What local issues need attention?
She points to projects that have languished — a fire station and law-enforcement modular buildings — and says delivering them is simply the job of a delegate who shows up.
The Local-Level Disconnect
Cal asked: How do you fix the executive-legislative disconnect?
Lister argues the breakdown starts at the local level — chapters gather needs, pass resolutions, and hand them to a delegate — so she'd strengthen that chain by communicating and working closely with chapters and fellow delegates.
Corruption & Being Unheard
Cal asked: What's blocking your community's needs?
She describes corruption at the chapter level and complaints that go nowhere — saying the Department of Justice dismissed concerns she filed — and wants real representation and accountability for her community.
The Lost $33 Million Broadband Grant
Cal asked: What happened with the broadband funding?
Lister cites a $33 million broadband grant the federal government awarded the chapter directly that was then lost, which she raises as a major loss for local development.
Veterans
Cal asked: Who should care for veterans, and what would you do?
Drawing on her father's PTSD and the cost and distance of care — traveling to Prescott — Lister says the federal government should care for veterans but doesn't, and, quoting her father, that candidates only invoke veterans at campaign season; she wants real, year-round support.
