A Proven Record of Results
ISSUES
BORDER SECURITY
Violent drug cartels, human trafficking, rapes, fentanyl in our communities and schools, and record opioid deaths are the direct result of failed open border policies. Enough is enough. As a Representative, I have a record of standing with our sheriffs to secure the border. I will continue to fight for the rule of law, a secure border, and a safer Arizona. Period.
QUALITY EDUCATION
As the only candidate with a child currently attending public district school in LD4, I am alarmed by the low-test scores and lack of focus on our children’s academic progress and emotional well-being. With student verbal and math achievement on the decline by as much as 11%, we are in danger of losing an entire generation. As a State Representative, I consistently supported quality educational choices and accountability so no child is left struggling in school. I will continue to build on that record by putting our children, parents, and families first and requiring that school boards do the same or face financial and legal consequences.
Back the Blue
“The system is failing us.” These are the words of a young widow eulogizing her hero police officer husband killed in the line of duty a few months ago. She’s right. It is time to stop defunding the police and start defending them. As a former Assistant United States Attorney and Assistant Attorney General, I understand government’s number one job is to keep us safe. I will always prioritize public safety resources so our men and women in blue have the tools they need to do their jobs.
Pro-Business and Job Growth
The failed policies of the Biden administration are hitting us where it hurts – at the gas pump and in the grocery store. In these difficult times, leaders must be especially vigilant about protecting hard-working Arizonans from out-of-control government spending and high taxes. As your Representative, I stood firm against government waste and attempts to raise your taxes and gas prices. As a small business owner, I understand that low taxes and less regulation are essential for an economy that benefits all Arizona families.
Election Integrity
The right to vote in free and fair elections is the most fundamental right we have to preserve our freedom. The radical left has us showing vaccine cards and driver’s licenses to go to a restaurant but they don’t want voter ID laws. Why? It is time for the fraud and hypocrisy to end by requiring valid identification for every voter.
Life
There is no greater human right than the right to life and I will continue to fight to protect the life and health of preborn children and their mothers.
