David Redkey is the Green Party candidate for the U.S. House in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District in the 2026 general election, having advanced from the Green Party primary on July 21, 2026. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, he attended Sunnyslope High School and earned degrees from Glendale Community College, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University, with a career in advocacy. He describes his campaign as anti-war, anti-corruption, and pro-worker, and is scheduled to participate in the district's August 25, 2026 debate.
Redkey supports a universal, single-payer healthcare system modeled on TRICARE Prime, with automatic enrollment, no copays or deductibles, no surprise bills, primary and specialty care access, and preventive-care emphasis. He also says he would protect and strengthen affordable coverage, cap prescription-drug prices, and safeguard Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries.
Redkey proposes “Foundation Economics,” a bottom-up economic framework centered on raising wages, limiting concentrated wealth and corporate power, subsidizing childcare for modest-income families, and supporting small businesses. He also says he would roll back the Trump tariffs, which he argues have raised costs, while pursuing trade policies intended to strengthen domestic supply chains and create jobs.
Redkey says he would recommit the United States to international climate agreements, restore science-based environmental rulemaking and safeguards, and invest in domestic clean-energy manufacturing to create Arizona jobs and improve climate and public-health outcomes. He also opposes broad deregulation that reduces corporate accountability and says he supports environmental protections alongside responsible business investment.
In an August 18, 2026 campaign Facebook post, Redkey criticized overturning Roe v. Wade, calling it a conservative/fascist approach to addressing declining childbearing and contrasting it with his preferred economic response of taxing the wealthy to support working-class families. The statement indicates opposition to using abortion restrictions as a solution, but does not specify a detailed reproductive-health legislative agenda.
David Redkey supports humane, orderly immigration reform that secures the border while protecting family unity and fair asylum procedures. He proposes codifying family-unity protections in immigration processing, improving systems for tracking and reuniting separated children, and creating durable asylum procedures.
Redkey says U.S. foreign policy should prioritize human dignity, international law, and civilian protection. He supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, full humanitarian access, ending U.S. military aid when it is used in violation of international humanitarian law, accountability for alleged war crimes by all actors, and Palestinian self-determination and equal civil rights; he frames this as seeking peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Redkey supports recognizing and publishing the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment and says he would back enforcement measures covering pay equity, pregnancy and caregiver protections, and updated Title VII/Title IX remedies. He also describes reproductive choice as a fundamental right free from governmental interference and supports civil-rights and nondiscrimination requirements for publicly funded schools and programs.
Redkey says federal education dollars should go to public schools and opposes vouchers, education savings accounts, and tax-credit schemes that divert K–12 funds to private tuition. His campaign proposes increasing Title I, IDEA, and Title II funding, investing in facilities and school-based mental health, supporting teacher-pay and retention grants, and requiring transparent, democratically accountable governance for publicly funded charter schools.
Redkey's public candidate profile acknowledges that artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the economy and daily life, but the available text does not identify a specific legislative or regulatory position on AI, technology policy, data privacy, or automation. His campaign website's listed policy pages likewise do not present a dedicated Tech & AI plan.
Redkey says he would prioritize “local first” jobs and supports that keep work and prosperity in Arizona communities, strengthen public-school funding, and improve constituent service. He also emphasizes transparency and accountability in guardianship, probate, and fiduciary systems to protect local families from financial exploitation.
Redkey supports a universal, single-payer healthcare system modeled on TRICARE Prime, with automatic enrollment, no copays or deductibles, no surprise bills, primary and specialty care access, and preventive-care emphasis. He also says he would protect and strengthen affordable coverage, cap prescription-drug prices, and safeguard Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries.
