Criminal Justice / Public Safety

The City of Phoenix Police Department deserves the support of our community. I am committed to ensuring they have the necessary funds and equipment to do their job. It is unfortunate that we have seen a drastic decrease in the amount of officers on the street. Our neighborhoods have seen an increase in crime that frequently goes unreported. This is a direct result of policies established that put our officers at risk and can no longer be tolerated. Learn more

Drug Policy

The surge of deaths from fentanyl has been ever-present in our district. Nearly everybody knows someone who has lost their life or suffered at the hands of the synthetic opioid, fentanyl. It's time to have a Congressman who will fight alongside you to stop this deadly pandemic. The fentanyl crisis demands a multifaceted approach that prioritizes public health, law enforcement collaboration, and community engagement. Law enforcement agencies need resources to stopy this today! Help me do this! Learn more

Economy

Our government has over regulated small businesses while giving special handouts, tax breaks, and bailouts to the multibillion dollar corporations and foreign entities. I believe in policies that put the American worker first. We should be looking into antitrust hearings against potential monopolistic industries and proactive in encouraging American-made products and services be made in America! I believe in an energy independent energy policy which would drastically reduce gas prices. Learn more

Education

I believe in expanding school choice and quality for ALL Americans regardless of income or zip code. No matter what your preference is - private, charter, or public district - you should have excellent options available. Additionally, families should have easy access to the best homeschooling and online schooling opportunities. I was an early advocate for what eventually became 2022's HB2002, a bill that requires civics to be taught in Arizonan high schools. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Despite the never ending sunshine Arizona has, we cannot rely solely on the electrical grid for the security of our State. With technological advances, we can find other ways to expand our resources without damaging our environment. In spite of the "feel good" impression solar has generated (pun intended), our infrastructure has not kept up with demand. A failure could be catastrophic to our region. This must be addressed and I'm committed to ensuring Arizona is at the forefront of solving. Learn more

While recent bipartisan efforts have been successful from Arizonan Representatives Stanton and Schweikert on securing a new hydropower dam for the SRP. I am in favor of negotiating further dams to create new water reservoirs along the Colorado and its tributaries. Additionally, I believe we should invest in desalination of both ocean water and brackish groundwater as we seek future-proof water security. I would hold hearings on pipeline opportunities throughout the nation. Learn more

Government Reform

I will only serve three terms and I am in support of term limits for our federal officials. Our nation has created a political class that has forgotten what it's like to work hard to earn a living. This structure no longer serves the people. No one should make a career out of collecting a paycheck on the backs of our hard working families. Learn more
