Deborah "Deb" Harlow grew up in Douglas, Arizona, in a hardworking family that lived by the motto "Protect what's yours." Her father was a truck driver, and her mother ran a diner frequented by border patrol agents. Inspired by her upbringing on the Arizona-Mexico border, Harlow pursued a career in law enforcement, earning a degree in Criminal Justice and joining the DEA.
For two decades, Harlow worked as a DEA agent, specializing in cartel interdiction and undercover operations. However, during her career, she witnessed corruption and inefficiencies within the agency that undermined its mission. Refusing to stay silent, she became a whistleblower, exposing mismanagement that led to several high-profile resignations in Washington.
Now, as a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Harlow is running on a platform of law enforcement reform, border security, and holding Washington accountable. Her campaign emphasizes the need for both security and humanity at the border, a perspective shaped by her time in the field.
Harlow’s no-nonsense attitude, combined with her practical experience and problem-solving skills, has made her a polarizing figure. Supporters admire her courage and authenticity, while critics accuse her of being too independent for party politics. Divorced with no children, she spends her free time hiking the rugged Arizona terrain and reflecting on her next battles. She lives alone in a modest house near Bisbee, where she hosts community events and strategizes her campaign.
