Nancy K. Barto [2] (born in Chicago,Illinois) is an American politician and a former Republican member of the Arizona State Senate from 2021 to 2023. She previously served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2019 to 2021 and the Arizona Senate representing District 15 from 2013 to 2019. Barto served consecutively in the Arizona State Legislature from January 2007 until January 10,2011,in the Arizona House of Representatives District 7 seat,then in the Arizona Senate in the District 7 seat from January 10,2011,until January 14,2013.
Barto sponsored a bill to prohibit cities and counties in Arizona from banning plastic bags. [3] The governor signed the bill into law in April 2015. [4]
A social conservative,Barto has promoted anti-abortion legislation. [5] She is often allied with the Center for Arizona Policy,a Christian right group. [6] In 2010,Barto sponsored a measure to extend Arizona's two-month mandatory waiting period to obtain a divorce to six months. [7] In 2020,while in the state House,Barto sponsored legislation that banned sex education before the fifth grade and requiring written permission from parents (an "opt-in") before students could be taught about HIV/AIDS,sexuality,gender identity or gender expression. [8] [9] In 2020,she narrowly ousted incumbent state Senator Heather Carter,defeating her in a Republican primary challenge from the right following a heated race. [5] [6]
As chair of the House Health and Human Services Committee,Barto sponsored anti-vaccination bills,and supporting vaping legislation supported by the tobacco industry. [6] Public health officials warned that Barto's three bills in 2019 to expand vaccination exemptions and discourage vaccination would reduce immunization rates in Arizona and endanger public health. [10] [11] One bill,HB2470,would have added a non-medical "religious belief" exemption for childhood vaccines,and removed a signature requirement for parents. [12] [13] The proposed repeal would end a requirement that parents exempting children from vaccines acknowledge the risk of serious illness and death from infectious disease. [14] Another bill,HB2471,would require doctors to inform parents about potential risks of vaccines and how to file for injury claims related to vaccines. [15] The third bill,HB2472 would require doctors to offer a blood test prior to vaccination;the test would determine if a child already possesses the antibodies that would be developed from a vaccine. [16]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Arizona,Barto promoted baseless claims that hydroxychloroquine was a COVID-19 cure, [6] and discouraged COVID-19 vaccination. [6] [17]
