Border Security

America’s southern border is under attack aided by the complacency or, perhaps, the support of the Biden administration. Millions of illegal aliens are crossing our border. One of the prime motives for my running for the legislature in 2005 was to stop the illegal immigration onslaught we were experiencing then. I am proud to say that I was a co-author and cosponsor of SB1070, Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law. Today, I continue the fight and have pushed for and will get over half a billion dollars in budgetary expenditures for more border security and more border wall.

School Choice

While Arizona does a good job of educating our children, district and charter schools are still suffering from the budget cuts we were forced to make during the great recession. While we have restored almost all of those cuts, our schools still could use some additional funding, which I support. I also support the expansion of school choice because students and parents should be allowed to select the best educational option available.

Water Rights

Arizona is getting deeper and deeper into a water crisis and we need to take action now before draconian measures are necessary later to deal with shortages. I support the appropriation that we will be making two bowls find new out-of-state sauces for water, advanced conservation measures within the state, and place pumping restrictions in aquifers that are suffering depletion.
