Wali Mailatyar

Wali Mailatyar is a business owner, family man, published author, a survivor of perilous journeys, and challenger of obstacles.  The second youngest of eight children, Mr. Mailatyar grew up in peaceful Afghanistan with his hardworking mother and father until more danger began to haunt the fragile peace. From there he began an epic journey from the dangers of his homeland to the unknown of America.  Mr. Mailatyar defied the odds, earning degrees in accounting, opening, and managing a successful accounting business, starting a family, and exploring his innate leadership abilities to run for Arizona Governor.  His goal is to use his past experiences of surviving oppressive regimes and fighting back against corruption to bring back honesty, integrity, and equality to Arizona—and beyond. He’s made it his mission to fight for equality and defend those who are unable to defend themselves.  When he isn’t running his business or working to make Arizona a better place, he’s spending quality time with his wife, children, two dogs, and his cat in the beautiful city of Phoenix, Arizona.
