About Me

Born and raised in Arizona, I have dedicated my life to serving our great state. As a rancher and former state representative, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that our rural communities face. My tenure in the House has been marked by a steadfast commitment to conservative principles, including:

• Combating illegal immigration
• Advocating for election integrity
• Addressing the economic impacts of inflation

I am proud of the progress we've made but recognize there's more work to be done. With your support, I aim to continue being the voice for rural Arizona in the state legislature.

As a lifelong Arizonan and the owner of DC Cattle Company, I stepped into the legislature to be a voice for rural Arizona—tackling critical issues like ranching, agriculture, water, and education. I’ve fought to cut government overreach, create jobs, and improve infrastructure so our communities can thrive. When I’m not working on policy solutions, you’ll find me supporting our Arizona Cardinals and Diamondbacks—because strong communities start with shared traditions and local pride.

Beyond my legislative work, I’m deeply committed to protecting our state’s natural resources and heritage. I’ve championed policies that promote sustainable agriculture and responsible water conservation, ensuring Arizona remains productive and prosperous for generations to come. I also believe in strengthening education, particularly in rural areas, so that every child has the tools to succeed—no matter where they live.

For me, leadership isn’t just about passing laws—it’s about bringing people together. I’ve worked side by side with ranchers, small business owners, teachers, and first responders to find real solutions that benefit everyone. Whether it’s securing water rights, cutting red tape, or standing up for our rural way of life, I’m committed to ensuring Arizona’s future remains strong and independent.
