Highlights
Water issues are at the forefront of the conversation when it comes to Arizona policy. We must invest in better sourcing methods, desalinization of our brackish groundwater, and long-term sustainability. Arizona ought to invest in more dams for reservoirs and policies that protect our groundwater from foreign extraction. I support Representative Kolodin’s plan to create a statewide water market.
Energy and resource independence are critical national security issues in addition to Arizona issues. We ought to have diverse production of energy and encourage adoption of novel technologies. We should never be reliant on energy from a foreign nation – especially ones which are not our allies. The Palo Verde plant is the largest power plant in the nation. We should expand its capabilities while diversifying our overall energy production. Additionally, we should do mineral extraction here in America with environmental regulations rather than outsourcing our mining overseas.
Securing the US – Mexico border involves re-opening closed checkpoints, funding our Border Patrol, investing in novel technologies, and updating our laws where they are outdated. To have a sound immigration policy is to enforce our existing laws, build real protection for our border, properly equip our U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel, and remove the incentives which encourage undocumented migrants to risk their lives to come here. Without a border, we have no country.
American land should stay American. Most developed nations across the world don’t allow foreign buyers of farmland and single family homes. Let’s do the same. I believe Arizonans deserve Arizonan land – not foreign investors. Additionally, we ought to change the water guarantee requirements for build-to-rent homes. Right now, they are not required to get the same water guarantee as homes built to own or sell. We must protect Arizonan land and encourage homeownership – not a permanent state of rent.
The education system in Arizona should take a look at current incentive structures, engage in a a comprehensive evaluation of spending, and focus on programs that demonstrate positive results. The ultimate goal should be to produce individuals who are equipped to compete on a global stage and contribute to society. I am prepared to work with Justine Wadsack, David Marshall, and other colleagues on creating the best education system in America. At the end of the day, this means well-funded schools with accountability at all levels. I support funding our public schools.
Citizens from all walks of life deserve opportunities at success. We ought to facilitate a competitive economic environment that empowers the individual and small businesses. Excessive spending on corporate welfare programs should be avoided in order to mitigate the risk of inflation. The average income is falling behind inflation and Arizonan families are feeling it harder than anyone else in the nation. It is imperative to maintain a balanced budget, revise tax incentives for small businesses to enhance competitiveness, and implement fair trade policies. As a small business owner with clients all across the Valley, I am a stalwart supporter of our community’s ability to create and furnish a strong small business culture. I will always be an advocate for a strong, individual-centric economy. Additionally, we must bring back jobs to America and disincentivize outsourcing our labor.

The rate of construction for single-family homes has declined compared to two decades ago and many properties are being purchased in cash by foreign investors from countries such as Canada and China. Other nations, such as Canada, have recently imposed certain restrictions on foreign land purchases. In light of the rising cost of living and the diminished prospects of home ownership for millennials and Gen Z, it is worth considering similar measures in America to address these issues.
We must encourage the development of single family homes and look into banning foreign companies and multibillion dollar corporations such as Blackrock from purchasing them outright. YOU deserve to own your home – not a corporate investor.

Americans are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis alongside the aftermath of the COVID era. We must ensure that every American has the Right to Try, that Big Pharma is not taking advantage of the everyday family or those with certain pre-existing conditions, that no politician interferes with your personal medical decisions, and that we have increased price transparency. We must incentivize further competition in the health insurance market and reduce premiums for all Americans. Our Veterans deserve both better coverage and more choice in their coverage options. No child should be permitted to receive irreversible sex change surgeries. We should encourage healthcare wellness instead of solely relying on “sickcare.” Every American deserves affordable healthcare and a fair market for healthcare options.
In addition to addressing the mental health crisis and increasing access to experimental treatments, we must also address the broader challenges facing the healthcare system. For example, the cost of healthcare continues to rise, making it increasingly difficult for many Americans to access the care they need. We must work to reduce the overall cost of healthcare and make it more affordable for all Americans. This can be achieved through a variety of means, such as increasing competition in the health insurance market, reducing administrative burdens and bureaucracy, and incentivizing the use of preventative care and wellness services. By focusing on these issues, we can help to ensure that all Arizonans have access to the high-quality healthcare they need and deserve.

A robust Arizona is characterized by self-sufficiency in production, energy, and labor. To achieve this, it is imperative to maintain energy independence and maintain the highest standards of infrastructure. We must stop outsourcing our jobs overseas and incentivize our companies to produce and hire domestically. A strong Arizona is one where one can easily attain a well-paying job if they are skilled or experienced. A strong Arizona is one in which individuals with skill and experience have access to well-paying jobs, and families can sustain themselves on a single income. I believe we can see those days again – but we need to protect the Arizonan worker.
In order to achieve our goal of maintaining a strong and prosperous Arizona, we must also focus on rebuilding and maintaining our infrastructure. This means making sure we have the best new roads, bridges, airports, and other critical infrastructure that is essential to our economy and our way of life. By making these investments, we can create jobs and support economic growth, while also improving the safety and reliability of our infrastructure. Additionally, we must work to ensure that our infrastructure is sustainable and resilient. By taking these steps, we can help to build a stronger, more prosperous Arizona for generations to come.
The decline in American education has persisted for many years. A one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate, and it is essential to promote diversity and choice in education. Every child deserves access to a range of education options. Prioritizing funding for students and classrooms over bureaucratic interests and special interest groups is crucial going forward for Arizona. Every child should have choice in their education to find their best fit and no family should be limited in their education options due to income.

When I was in elementary school, I would walk to school by myself for half a mile in the middle of the morning with no fear. Today? Not many parents would feel safe having their kids walk to school if it were even a quarter mile away. To promote safer communities, it is necessary to allocate resources towards law enforcement, support addiction rehabilitation programs, provide access to good job opportunities, and enhance border security to reduce the influx of illegal drugs and criminals. A comprehensive and holistic approach is essential to secure a safer future for all Americans.

As a lifelong Arizonan, I’ve grown up keenly aware of our water situation. We are, in Arizona, experts at water management and are at the forefront of innovation when it comes to water usage. I believe we ought to continue down a path of innovation and reasonable conservation when it comes to our water. We should absolutely look towards investing in water megaprojects – whether they be desalinization projects, pipeline projects, or the establishment of a statewide water market – I’m in favor of modernizing water technology, systems, and sourcing.

We should sunset our laws and introduce criteria by which we can measure legislative effectiveness. We ought to extend term limits to lobbyists and consultants and pass an HCR that encourages congress to prevent our elected federal officials from trading stock outside of a blind trust.
Arizonans need healthcare solutions that guarantee protection against pre-existing conditions without putting the family through financial ruin. We need serious reform on price transparency and competitive incentives in the insurance market.
Our government is falling behind when it comes to technological competence. We need a Representative who understands modern technology and cybersecurity and who can put forth policies that protect our nation’s grid, data, financial markets, and infrastructure.
There ought to be financial incentives for companies to produce domestically. Outsourcing our production and labor has overall been a net negative for Americans. Especially important products like microchips and pharmaceuticals should be produced in America – not abroad.
I support funding and expanding Arizona’s disability support network to ensure individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities receive the care and services they deserve. 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, and I will work tirelessly to make sure these resources are available and well-supported.
The government has no right to tell you what to do with your body. I am completely in favor of the Right to Try and opposed to all forms of “Medical Tyranny.” Politicians should not be involved in your personal medical decisions.
We must take a serious look at the failures of the Department of Education over the past four decades and make appropriate changes. Every child deserves the best possible education and choices in pursuit of that education. We should empower the parent and keep both the state and federal government out of curricula-related decisions.
Other nations don’t spend taxpayer dollars to give outsized benefits to illegal immigrants. If an American illegally immigrated to Canada or Czechia, they would not be given benefits. This isn’t even an issue, it’s common sense. No state or federal funding for sanctuary cities.
Our state should strive to become a no-kill state. We should ensure that our shelters are well-equipped, staffed, and sized in each county and that we have communication between each county shelter to best address animal concerns all throughout the state. I am in favor of allowing individuals to have backyard chickens and cage-free laws. Animal abuse in general should not be tolerated and should be criminalized. We must do what we can to protect our wild and domesticated animals.
American land should stay American. Most developed nations across the world don’t allow foreign buyers of farmland and single family homes. Let’s do the same. I believe Arizonans deserve Arizonan land – not foreign investors. Additionally, we ought to change the water guarantee requirements for build-to-rent homes. Right now, they are not required to get the same water guarantee as homes built to own or sell. We must protect Arizonan land and encourage homeownership – not a permanent state of rent.
The BDS movement 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.
My late paternal grandfather was a US Marine and my maternal grandfather was in the IDF. I have immense respect and love for our Veterans. Our VA services ought to be well-funded and we ought to give our veterans complete choice in how they receive their medical care. Those who serve this nation are those who we are most indebted to and those who deserve the most possible support.
Fentanyl is plaguing our communities. We need real solutions to this crisis. Re-open our checkpoints in Southern AZ, invest in further border patrol, track down supply + distribution networks, and work with agencies domestic and foreign to stop the influx of the drug.
Arizona has lost over 14% of its tree cover since 2000, is facing a bark beetle epidemic, and has less than 50% of the forests outside of federal National Forest possession. We should be actively working to protect our forests and reverse the deforestation trends throughout northern Arizona.
We should aim to have free, fair, and transparent elections at every level. I will vote for and support legislation which seeks to enhance the integrity and security of our elections. We must expand voting centers, transparency, and election day accommodations. Neither Republicans nor Democrats should have any questions about the winner or loser of an election – and I will work towards this goal.
I won’t vote for any budget that is not balanced. We have a long history of balancing our budget in Arizona and I don’t believe that now is the time to change that. Arizona has a rainy day fund and my intention is not to reduce it by a penny.
I supported the immediate repeal of the 1864 territorial abortion law and I believe Arizonans have been clear that we should follow the will of the people when it comes to Arizona’s laws on abortion. This is an issue which will be decided by ballot measures, not legislative action. I always have and always will support access to IVF and birth control. My opponent and some organizations spending money in our district should be ashamed of themselves for lying to voters and misleading them about my position.
Securing the US – Mexico border involves re-opening closed checkpoints, funding our Border Patrol, investing in novel technologies, and updating our laws where they are outdated.

At the end of the day, this means well-funded schools with accountability at all levels. I support funding our public schools.
I am a strong believer in open sourcing the code for most machines and materials that engage with public affairs. For example, to alleviate some claims of machine-driven election fraud, our voting machines should be running an open-source code that any citizen can analyze.
Energy and resource independence are critical national security issues in addition to Arizona issues. We ought to have diverse production of energy and encourage adoption of novel technologies. We should never be reliant on energy from a foreign nation – especially ones which are not our allies. The Palo Verde plant is the largest power plant in the nation. We should expand its capabilities while diversifying our overall energy production. Additionally, we should do mineral extraction here in America with environmental regulations rather than outsourcing our mining overseas.
