BioSenator Bob Worsley is the Vice-Chair of the Finance Committee, and also sits on the Transportation and the Commerce, Energy & Military committees. He ran successfully in 2012 against former Senate President Russell Pearce in the newly redistricted LD 25, to represent Mesa. He brings a wealth of practical, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial successes with him to the Senate- After acquiring a BA in Accounting at BYU in 1980, he started his career as a CPA with Price Waterhouse here in Phoenix and became an audit manager before he left to start ExecuShare with now-Mayor Scott Smith of Mesa. He founded SkyMall in 1989, and after selling it 13 years later he maintains an advisory relationship with the company. In 1999 he was recognized as Entrepreneur of the Year from Ernst and Young. He founded NZ Legacy in 2002, a land, mineral and energy development company. He developed a 27 megawatt biomass generating plant in Snowflake Arizona, providing a green source of electricity to 27,000 homes in the White Mountains, by utilizing the remains of the forest after the 2002 Rodeo Chediski fire and now, forest thinning product to help prevent future forest fires. Currently, NZ Legacy has a joint venture with a large Texas oil and gas company to market the vast potash deposits of the Holbrook basin as a fertilizer for agricultural use. The mine is slated to create 500 new high paying Arizona jobs. His only previous venture into politics was to participate in the Romney presidential campaigns of 2008 and 2012. Mr. Worsley is very active in finding a long-term total solution to the immigration problem in Arizona and feels strongly that compassion and keeping families together needs to be part of the ultimate answer. He is currently aligned with Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery to promote the S.A.N.E. solution to immigration reform. Sen. Worsley and his wife Christi were born and raised in Boise, Idaho where they have a summer home. They moved to the East Valley over 33 years ago shortly after they were married, and have since traveled all over the world but extensively in China. They have been active in supporting social, charity, youth, and religious groups and their values in every community in which they have lived. It is not uncommon for them to donate over 20 hours a week to their philanthropic organizations. They have six children and 17 grandchildren.
