Today we’re joined by Mark Anderson. In 1994, Mark was elected to the Arizona State Legislature where he served for 14 years. During his time in the legislature, he authored numerous significant and innovative pieces of legislation. Mark has been published multiple times in newspapers such as the Arizona Republic and East Valley Tribune, and has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Washington Times, and Chicago Tribune.
From a tiny town in rural New Mexico to a series of deeply spiritual experiences, to the corridors of power in state government, Mark’s life has been an adventure.
In 2010, Mark was elected to the position of Justice of the Peace for the West Mesa Justice Court and was appointed as the Honorary Consul General for the Republic of Korea for Arizona in 2019. Mark has participated in service projects in Honduras, Mexico, Trinidad, Thailand, Ukraine, Ecuador, and Zambia.
He was married in 1982 to his wife Lucia. They have three children and six grandchildren. Check out his autobiography Love People.
