On the issues

Arizona has one of America’s fastest-growing economies because we have built a business and family-friendly state. My focus is on trying to get some of those jobs and opportunities to come to our part of Arizona, not just settle for Maricopa County. That’s why I work so hard on issues like water, roads, and infrastructure, and why education is a top priority in my work. Joe Biden’s policies are wrecking our economy, and his inflation is crushing our working families, but I’ll keep fighting to make life here the very best it can be.

I remain opposed to amnesty and will continue to advocate for real border security to stop the flow of drugs, guns, and crime that cross our border. That means a real border wall and full support for the brave men and women of the US Border Patrol.

Too many Arizonans are losing faith in our election systems. That’s why I fully support efforts to make our elections more transparent, our results available more quickly, and our process more auditable. I’ll continue voting for good election reform bills until we once again trust the results.

Strong families make a strong Arizona, so when I vote on legislation my question is always “Will this be good for Arizona’s families?”

I helped lead the charge to increase K-12 funding and increase teacher pay, and we got the job done without raising taxes. I voted to give all Arizona kids and their parents real school choices so they can pick the school that best meets their individual needs. I have also been fighting to improve the school funding formulas for our rural schools and championed dual enrollment at every high school in our districts.

I'm a Lifetime member of the NRA and will always vote to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is never infringed, period!

Our families live within our means and our government needs to do the same. That's why I believe so strongly in real balanced budgets, that are responsible, low-tax, and are done without accounting gimmicks.

I was proud to run the bill to enact Term Limits for members of Congress. Going to Congress should not be a career! You should serve for a relatively short period of time and then return home to live under the laws you passed. My opponent voted against Term Limits for Congress and helped the Democrats defeat our effort, but I will continue trying to pass this important reform.

As someone who knows the importance of being able to responsibly use our land and natural resources, I also know how suffocating the EPA and other federal agencies can be. Protecting the rights of Arizonans to use what God gave us remains a priority for me.

More than half of the land in Arizona is owned by the federal government, a problem shared by many western states, while many eastern states have virtually no federally owned land. This inequity needs to be resolved in favor of the states.

The U.S. Constitution says that all rights not expressly given to the Federal Government remain exclusively with the States, yet Congress and the Federal Government routinely violate our rights as a State. I will continue to fight this overreach and work with our Congressional delegation to take back our rights.
