Ken Cheuvront
American politician
Kenneth David Cheuvront (; born May 11, 1961, in Phoenix, Arizona) is a Democratic politician. From 2003 to 2011 he served as Arizona state senator for District 15, which centers on Phoenix. In 2018, he was elected Encanto Justice of the Peace in central Phoenix. He is also owner of Cheuvront Construction Inc and Cheuvront Wine Bar.
Earlier he was elected to represent the 15th district in the State House of Representatives in 1994, becoming the first openly gay man elected to the Arizona House of Representatives, and held the seat until he was termed out in 2002. He was the Democratic Leader in that chamber in the 2001–02 session.
In 2002, he was elected to represent the district in the State Senate, winning the general election by a margin of 63% to 37%. He had previously run for the Senate in 1990, winning 44% of the primary election vote but losing to Chuck Blanchard. He won re-election in 2004 with 65% of the vote and in 2006 with 69%. He ran unopposed in 2008, and term limits will prevent him from seeking a fifth two-year term in 2010.

Why this record matters
“Ken Cheuvront” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cheuvront, American and politician provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1738585. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1961, 2003, 2011 and 2018.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
