Quality Education

Education is the foundation of opportunity and prosperity for both K-12 students and for unemployed or under-employed adults. My professional work experience, and my leadership role on the governing board of one of the state's largest school districts, lead me to support: A back-to-basics approach to Reading, Math, Science and American History. Expanded vocational career and technical education opportunities for students and adults. Reducing the expensive regulatory costs on schools before raising school taxes. Parental rights and school choice. Safeguarding student privacy.

Safe and Secure Environment

Prosperity also requires a Safe and Secure environment. As such, I also support policies and programs that improve border security to protect all of us from drug trafficking and the risk of infectious diseases. I oppose sanctuary cities and sanctuary policies that shield criminals from appropriate law enforcement efforts. I support law enforcement efforts and build community trust. I address addiction and other public health concerns. This includes making sure first responders and Arizona health service providers have the resources they need to keep us safe. I responsibly protect and preserve wild spaces and water reserves as our metropolitan areas grow--for our own well-being as well as for future generations.

Increase Opportunity

To promote Opportunity, I support state policies and programs that reform Arizona's tax policy and regulations to reduce adverse economic impact and better promote individual opportunity. Expand adult education and training programs for work-displaced Arizonans so that they too can both benefit from, and contribute to, a growing Arizona economy. More wisely foster the development of new technologies and the infrastructure required for continued economic growth and the opportunities that growth can bring.
