Senator Tim Dunn

Tim Dunn is a Republican member of the Arizona State Senate, representing District 25. He assumed office on January 13, 2025, and his current term will end on January 11, 2027.

Timothy Michael Dunn, born on December 13, 1966, in Yuma, Arizona, is a lifelong resident of the state and a dedicated public servant. His deep roots in Yuma have shaped his perspective on agriculture, business, and community development. Dunn graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in agronomy, a field that prepared him for his career in farming and agricultural business. His professional background as a farmer and business owner has given him firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by rural communities and the importance of supporting Arizona’s agricultural economy.

Before joining the Arizona State Senate, Dunn served in the Arizona House of Representatives. He was first appointed in February 2018 to represent District 13, filling the vacancy left by Don Shooter. He later won reelection and continued to serve until 2023. Following redistricting, Dunn represented District 25 in the House from 2023 to 2025. His legislative work during this period focused on issues such as water management, border security, education, and economic development. His reputation as a pragmatic and hardworking legislator earned him respect across party lines and among his constituents.

In 2024, Dunn ran for the Arizona State Senate in District 25, succeeding Senator Sine Kerr. His victory in the November 2024 election marked his transition from the House to the Senate, where he continues to advocate for policies that strengthen Arizona’s economy and protect its natural resources. As a senator, Dunn serves on several key committees, including Natural Resources (where he is Vice-Chair), Education, Military Affairs & Border Security, and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. These roles allow him to influence legislation on critical issues such as water conservation, education reform, and border security.

Outside of politics, Dunn is a successful businessman. He and his wife, Eileen, own Tim Dunn Farms and Dunn Grain Company, which specialize in specialty grains and seed crops for both domestic and international markets. In addition, they operate several Sport Clips Haircut franchise stores in Yuma, Buckeye, and Goodyear, creating jobs and contributing to local economies. His entrepreneurial ventures reflect his commitment to fostering economic growth and supporting small businesses in Arizona.

Family plays a central role in Dunn’s life. He and Eileen have two sons, Kirk and Timothy Ty. Kirk is married to Sierra, and together they have three daughters: Coralee, Ada Lynn, and Emily Grace. Dunn’s strong family ties and his role as a husband, father, and grandfather influence his approach to public service, emphasizing values of responsibility, community, and long-term stewardship.

Throughout his career, Dunn has been a consistent advocate for conservative principles, including limited government, fiscal responsibility, and support for rural communities. His leadership style is characterized by accessibility and a willingness to engage directly with constituents. He is known for listening to the concerns of farmers, business owners, and families, and working to craft policies that address their needs.

Looking ahead, Tim Dunn’s current term in the Arizona State Senate will conclude in 2027, but his trajectory suggests he will continue to play a significant role in Arizona politics. With his blend of agricultural expertise, business acumen, and legislative experience, Dunn is positioned to remain a strong voice for District 25 and for the broader interests of Arizona. His career reflects a commitment to service, community, and the values that have guided him throughout his life.
