Michele Peña is an American politician. She is a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives elected to represent District 23 in 2022.

Peña is a school volunteer, agricultural professional, and the daughter of an immigrant. She was raised in Yuma, Arizona. Peña lived in Tucson before returning to Yuma.

In 2023, Peña sponsored a bill that would extend the expiration date of AA graded eggs in Arizona by six days. Arizona is one of two states with a limit of 24 days or less, which contributes to over $3 million of expired eggs being thrown out every year in the state. The bill became a source of controversy as it passed with a bipartisan (both for and against) 4-3 vote in the Arizona Senate.

On a 4-3 vote, the Senate Commerce Committee agreed to allow eggs with an AA rating to remain on store shelves for 30 days. That is six days longer than now permitted... the 24-day limit results in $3 million worth of expired eggs being thrown out every year, as it can be difficult to repackage AA eggs for sale at a lower grade.
