Todd Clodfelter – Treasurer

Todd Clodfelter has been a resident of Tucson, Arizona for over 40 years.   Todd has been a small business owner and operator for nearly 30 of those years.  He ran for Tucson city council in 1994 and lost the bid because he “spoke too much truth” that the people didn’t want to hear.  Many of the problems he addressed are still problems today in the Old Pueblo.  Currently he resides outside of city limits.  Todd came from Texas where he thinks the conservative nature of Texas helped to mold him to his current values.  The recent presidential election of has rekindled his political fire.  He currently serves as the 4th vice-Chair for the Legislative District 30 in Arizona.  Todd has been married to his high school sweetheart for 33 years, has three children and two grandchildren.  He has been active in many community and youth organizations over the years in Tucson.  His current ambition is to help make things “right” for his family and yours.
