Campaign priorities: “Proven leadership where results mattered - I am a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant who has spent a lifetime leading in challenging environments. After military service, I managed humanitarian programs in areas affected by war and civil conflict, where clear thinking, accountability, and sound judgment were essential. I am not seeking office to make speeches or build a political career. I am running to bring disciplined leadership, practical problem-solving, and a mission-first mindset to the Arizona Legislature.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) Jobs, wages & cost of living: “I am passionate about strengthening Arizona’s economy, ensuring fiscal responsibility, and promoting effective, accountable government. I believe public policy should focus on creating opportunity—supporting small businesses, encouraging job growth, and maintaining a regulatory environment that allows individuals and businesses to succeed. I am also committed to public safety, strong communities, and policies that respect individual liberty while maintaining order.”
