Get StartedAs the recent crisis has shown, we need forward-looking leaders who understand that our state agencies need to be ready to handle unexpected events. I will listen to the experts on what actions are necessary, review options, and make fiscally responsible investments to keep us prepared and safe. Learn more
We must also live up to our commitment to the brave people who have dedicated their lives to keeping us all safe. I will fight to protect firefighters who are diagnosed with cancer and ensure Arizona honors military veterans like my father. Learn more
Properly funding all levels of education including expanding quality child care programs give children a good start, helps working parents, and reaps tremendous returns on our investment. We need to invest in our infrastructure, protect our natural resources, and encourage entrepreneurship which all have long-term benefits and are necessary to handle the economic growth that allows local businesses to flourish.

Long-term investments in the people and businesses of Arizona is the best way to develop a 21st-century economy that benefits everyone. We must create a level playing field that allows businesses to thrive and ensures we respect honest work with fair pay. Learn more
I will restore fiscal responsibility to our state so that we can properly invest in pre-K through post-secondary education and allow children to learn in a safe environment. This will prepare students to succeed in the 21st-century economy, show educators the respect they deserve and create good-paying jobs in our community. Learn more
I have hiked all across our beautiful state, marveled at its natural wonders, and witnessed the changes to our lands. Clearly, our climate is one of the drivers of Arizona’s economy, so protecting the environment is paramount to saving Arizona’s future. Learn more
Sadly, a staggering number of politicians are avoiding environmental issues in order to protect the profits of a few companies. I will work to ensure we live up to our moral responsibility to protect the planet and seize the opportunity to create jobs across Arizona by becoming a leader in the growing renewable energy market.

Like most people, we have friends that have been financially devastated by an unexpected family illness and are often unable to afford the treatment they need. In our modern society, no one should go bankrupt due to a medical issue. Learn more
That is why I believe Arizonans should have access to quality affordable healthcare regardless of pre-existing conditions. I will work to allow consumers to buy into AHCCCS, the state’s Medicaid agency, as this will give the program more bargaining power to lower premiums for everyone. I will stand up to insurance companies that are taking advantage of families and fight to protect essential benefits such as maternity care, cancer treatments, and mental health care. Learn more
Self-serving politicians have continually tried to hide their fiscal mismanagement by raising gas-tax funds designated for road construction and maintenance. The people of Arizona have paid the price by enduring hazardous road conditions. I will work to restore integrity and fiscal responsibility to our state legislature so we properly maintain roads across the state and make infrastructure investments that will grow our economy and keep us safe.

Instead of continuing to give tax breaks to out-of-state corporations and special interest groups, we need an equitable tax policy that does not put an undue burden on working families. I will use my decades of financial experience to enact a responsible tax policy that provides the revenue necessary to meet our obligations and still incentivizes companies to invest in Arizona and create good-paying jobs.
