Water

Arizona’s water security is essential–and with the American Southwest experiencing a record drought–it is more important than ever to take bold action. The Colorado River is one of Arizona’s most important sources of water—and there’s important work ahead to save it. Protecting our water supply is a must for our economy, too. Greg knows water security is economic security. Greg has made protecting our water one of his top priorities in Congress. He recently voted to approve $4 billion to support drought relief efforts in the southwest, which was signed into law.

Economy & Jobs

Greg knows that a strong economy with good jobs is essential for middle class families and those trying to work their way into the middle class. During his time as Mayor of Phoenix, Greg built a bipartisan coalition to rebuild the economy after the Great Recession and led Phoenix to simultaneously have the fastest-growing population and highest-growing wages— a rare feat.

Protecting Democracy

America’s democracy is in crisis—something Greg knows first-hand. He was on the House floor, readying to defend Arizona’s election results when insurrectionists broke into the Capitol attempting to overturn the will of the voters. Greg believes that defending our democracy is the highest priority.
