On the death of barbara lubin.

(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)

Barbara Lubin passed away on February 6, 2021 after a 
courageous fight with breast cancer at the age of sixty-three.

Born in Frankfurt, Germany on December 8, 1957, Barbara spent 
her childhood in multiple states before settling in Flagstaff in 1969.� She 
graduated from Flagstaff High School before earning her bachelor's degree in 
journalism and her master's degree in business administration from Northern 
Arizona University.

A lifelong Democrat and an Arizona Democratic Party fixture 
beginning in the 1980s, Barbara was most recently the director of operations.� 
She spent the greatest part of her life working behind the scenes, providing 
advice and guidance to those who sought political office and others who were 
seeking positions in which they could help improve the lives of others.� After 
moving to Phoenix in 1982, she worked as an aide in the Arizona Senate and then 
for Corporation Commissioner Jim Weeks.� Giving generously of her time and 
abilities, she also spent many years volunteering for Democratic candidates and 
at the PTA at her daughter's elementary school.� Additionally, Barbara 
skillfully managed the Madison School District's art masterpiece program. 

In 2000, Barbara became the first candidate to qualify for 
Clean Elections funding for her unsuccessful run for the Corporation 
Commission.� She went on to train others running for office at positions at the 
Clean Elections Institute, the Progressive Majority and the Arizona Democratic 
Party, where she earned the well-deserved reputation for passion and work 
ethic.� Throughout her career, Barbara mentored countless candidates and 
welcomed volunteers with open arms.� Funny, tenacious and optimistic, Barbara 
was a talented leader and a pillar of knowledge, trustworthiness and 
reliability.

A devoted wife, loving mother and loyal friend, Barbara will be 
remembered for her infectious smile, refreshing laughter and fighting spirit.� 
She will be greatly missed by her husband of 33 years, Stanley, her daughter 
and son-in-law, Jessica and James Hall, and her granddaughters, as well as 
siblings and nieces and nephews. 

Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of 
Representatives of the State of Arizona, 

the Senate concurring:

That the Members of the Legislature regret the passing of Barbara Lubin 
and extend their sympathies to her family and friends.
