Issues that impact us all.

I’m ready to fight for you and the issues that matter most to individuals and families in our district. When it comes to the protection of our economic well-being, educating the next generation, or securing our water resources in our communities, I’m ready to stand up for and represent our district.

  • Elected leaders have a responsibility to create the conditions for prosperity. Free markets, free enterprise and people free to pursue their goals unencumbered by unnecessary regulations are the best way to unleash the forces of economic growth. I am for the government making it easier for businesses to thrive.

  • Arizona is the first line of defense against illegal immigration, and also the first to benefit from the good things that result when enterprising, hard-working human beings come here legally from other countries. Secure borders are vital to our national security. Concurrently, we must ensure that people who want to come and contribute to our nation are able to do so. That’s why I support policies that make our borders secure and functional. We can do more to assist the millions of immigrants who are here and have been here for years, especially the children and young adults who don’t even know their parents’ home country and have only ever called the United States home.

  • I am concerned with how little our leaders are doing to resolve the slow-motion but persistently growing water disaster imminently facing Arizona, particularly our over-reliance on groundwater to support development. We need to think bigger and act bolder to ensure our demand for water does not exceed our supply of water because that day is coming quickly. For too long, environmental protections have been met with anti-business rhetoric. It’s past time to sit down for conversations on how we can protect the environment with minimal disruptions to business.

  • I believe every life is sacred, but so are privacy and freedom. The government should not be forcing its way into doctors’ offices - especially when it comes to something as deeply personal as a pregnancy. Those discussions and decisions should be left to the patient and their doctor. When I am in Congress, I will support legislation that affirms a woman’s right to make her own decisions on reproductive health, free of government interference.

  • Our community needs someone who is willing to stand up for the rights of all Arizonans, including the LGBTQ+ community. I have done that in my personal and professional life, and will continue to do so as your member of Congress. I believe our friends and family, our neighbors and members of this community should not worry that their government could limit or take away their rights or whether their marriage could one day be invalidated by judges.

  • When Congress recently passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, it was a major step in the right direction to finally enacting gun safety reform. I support the Second Amendment. But like our government, I believe in checks and balances. I support gun safety measures such as red-flag laws, raising the age for purchasing firearms, common sense safety regulations on assault weapons and mandatory background checks. There is more we can do, and when I am in Congress, I will support efforts to make our communities safer.

  • We need to take steps that promote our interests abroad. Our standing globally matters, and we must find ways to compete in the global economy by promoting free trade agreements with partners that embrace our democratic and free market values while ensuring that the United States remains “pro-business.”

  • We cannot have rule of law without law enforcement. I will advocate for our police and Border Patrol so they have the resources to do their jobs justly. It is an utter disgrace that some Republican members of Congress failed to support the U.S. Capitol Police during and following the aftermath of January 6, 2021.

  • Our future is at risk if we don’t direct immediate attention to educating the rising generations. Our public educators deserve the resources needed to provide a world-class education for all of our students in the classroom. We need more school counselors and more special needs educators as we already ask too much of the far too few dedicated and tireless people we have. Our students need more than technical skills; they need to learn how to adapt, problem solve, and create. The framework is in place, but action must follow. We cannot afford to let American students fall behind.

  • Democracy means the people have the power, and one of our greatest civic duties is exercised by voting. We depend on a fair and equitable process to ensure the people and causes we vote for are put into place when they prevail in a secure election. I want to help Arizonans have more confidence that their voices are heard by shoring up our election processes where necessary and making sure voting is accessible and secure for all who are legally eligible to vote.

  • I am the only candidate in Az-05 who has signed the pledge: three terms for House, two terms for Senate. We don't need career politicians, we need citizens who step up.

I want to hear from you!
