Campaign priorities: “The first key message is to protect our southern border, as we need secure borders to promote legal entry into our country and to discourage human and drug trafficking. • The second key message is to reduce the tax burden and government overregulation of our citizens by maintaining fiscal responsibility and promoting economic opportunity. • The third key message is to restore confidence in our elections because if there is doubt in our elections it shakes the confidence of the voters.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024)) Jobs, wages & cost of living: “A top priority for the constituents in LD-1 and Arizona is to provide for economic opportunity. Less governmental regulation and reduced taxation will be critical in protecting our economy. Let’s get Arizonans to work by supporting excellence in education where smart spending is important. As an educator, I believe in empowering others for earned success and not learned helplessness. These areas of public policy are what I am passionate about and are what motivate me to serve, as I come from a family of public servants and am called to keep Arizona great!”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024)) Campaign priorities: “The state’s greatest challenges in the next decade include the current environment of a split government, where we are challenged to agree on what is best for Arizona and the citizens we serve.”

Economy & Taxes: “That means real election integrity measures, secure borders (finishing that wall), criminalizing fentanyl dealers, fighting for affordability, medical freedom, safe neighborhoods, improved highways and transportation (improving I-17), long-term water security, and personal liberty.”

Campaign priorities: “I'm not running over a block. I'm running because a representative who won't hear from one constituent shouldn't be the only choice the rest of the district gets.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities: “I was born in Phoenix, but Pine is home. That's where most of my formative years were — a small town under the Mogollon Rim, a couple thousand people. Rural Arizona isn't an abstraction to me. It's where I'm from.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities: “The law should apply to all of us the same. Threatening and harassment are already crimes in Arizona, and those laws protect everyone equally. My opponent introduced HB2412 to change that — the same words would stay a misdemeanor said to your neighbor but become a felony said to a politician, a government employee, or their family. I don't want a state where the people who work for us are harder to criticize than the people who don't. • Being pro-Second Amendment means more than the day you buy the gun. Arizona protects you at trial but does nothing to protect you from the trial.”
