Equally important is ensuring that we have high-quality special education programs in our public schools, alongside offering families the option to seek alternative solutions if their needs are not met within the public system. Every family should have access to the best care and education for their loved ones, whether through public district, public charter or private avenues, and I will work tirelessly to make sure these resources are available and well-supported.

I always have and always will support access to IVF and birth control. Organizations like Future Freedoms should be ashamed of themselves for lying to voters and misleading them about my position.

A focus of mine as your Representative will be ensuring that young women facing the challenges of motherhood have all the support they need to choose life: including quality pre-natal care, parenting classes, and financial support where necessary.

Unfortunately, my opponent has decided to lie about my position on this issue. It is honestly quite sad that out-of-state politicians feel the need to lie about me in order to try and win an election.

As a candidate for the AZ State House, I am committed to opposing the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and standing in support of the State of Israel.

The BDS movement is an anti-Semitic movement which seeks to isolate and delegitimize Israel through boycotts, divestment, and sanctions. I firmly oppose these efforts, as they undermine the prospects for peace and dialogue in the region. Arizona should reject the BDS movement and promote constructive engagement and cooperation with Israel.

I am dedicated to fostering and strengthening the mutually beneficial partnership between Arizona and Israel. Israel is a vital ally, sharing our values and contributing to various areas, including technology, security, and innovation.

1. Convince the federal government to sell federal lands back to the state with provisions for environmental conservation
2. Invest in measures to counter the bark beetle epidemic
3. Research if afforestation would help alleviate the problem in select areas

Arizona’s forests are the center of our ecological diversity as a state. We can’t allow our forests to be destroyed and should actively be working to counter the devastating loss of tree cover over the past two-and-a-half decades.

Desalinization efforts in Yuma and in our neighbor states should receive more federal funding to reduce the impact on our limited local sources. Additionally, we should invest in desalinization efforts that tackle our brackish groundwater. Desalinating brackish groundwater is a far cheaper and more efficient process than desalinating seawater.

What has happened in our rural counties where the rivers have dried up or at Lake Powell is horrifying. If we don’t start taking serious steps to address the water issues in Arizona, we won’t have an Arizona.

As your State Representative, long-term water sustainability will always be one of my top priorities. On day one I will introduce Bills to directly tackle our water issues and fight for a sustainable future.

Elements of the current education system in America are not adequate for producing well-rounded and competitive individuals in the modern workforce. One-size-fits-all approaches are problematic and do not take into consideration the diverse needs and abilities of students. Arizona should ensure that we have excellent public, private, and charter schools with appropriate accountability and funding at all levels. I will NEVER support defunding our schools! We must have well-funded schools and teachers as we prioritize the next generation of Arizonans and give them options.

A comprehensive evaluation of the government’s education spending is necessary to ensure that funds are being allocated in a way that prioritizes the needs of teachers, parents, and students. Despite high per-capita spending on education, the outcomes are not on par with other developed countries or even our fellow States. Funds should be redirected where possible from ineffective programs to those that demonstrate positive results.

The state government should not dictate the minutiae of curricula, and I strongly oppose book banning. We have a responsibility to ensure that the education system produces individuals who are equipped to compete on a global stage and contribute to society. This requires well-compensated teachers, a thriving and competitive educational environment, the elimination of special interest-driven projects, and investment in evidence-based programs.

I am proudly endorsed by the Arizona House Education Vice Chair, Representative David Marshall alongside dozens of local public school teachers from our PVUSD and DVUSD districts.

When elected, I will proudly fight to enhance the Arizona’s cybersecurity policy and hold fellow elected officials accountable when it comes to our collective defense. Watching the Senate and Congressional hearings on tech-related issues is mind-blowing because most of our elected officials have zero idea what they are talking about when it comes to modern technology or cybersecurity. It was a national embarrassment when we had to pay a random for one of our pipelines which was closed by cyberterrorists. I will put forth and support policies that keep our State and our Nation’s grid, data, financial markets, and infrastructure safe.
