Arizona State Senate District 12

Campaign priorities: “We only have one environment and unfortunately it's not being protected like it should. I will work with environmental scientists and water conservationists to protect our state and to make sure that generations to come have adequate water and land to live on. • Education is such a critical part of our community yet we are the lowest in per pupil funding in the entire country. We need to return funding to all aspects: our students, our teachers and staff, and our buildings.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))

Elections, ethics & government: “I will protect our voting rights in the state legislature. I have volunteered as a Poll Watcher and for Election Protection in previous elections to make sure that everyone who is eligible to vote has the opportunity to vote. As a poll watcher, my job was to ensure that everyone who wanted to vote had the opportunity to cast their ballot regardless of their political affiliation. I also kept an eye out for anyone who might try to deter voters from getting to their polling place.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))

Campaign priorities: “I am a true independent and I will not caucus with either party. That matters. Most candidates claim independence, but once elected, they fall in line with party leadership. I won’t. Every vote I take will be based on what’s best for Legislative District 12, not what a party tells me to do. • I bring real-world experience, not political theory. As a police officer and attorney, I’ve seen how bad laws and poor leadership affect people on the ground. I will focus on public safety, economic opportunity, and protecting taxpayers. Solutions that actually work, not ideological experiments.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Jobs, wages & cost of living: “I’m most passionate about public safety, economic opportunity, and government accountability because I’ve seen firsthand how these issues affect people’s daily lives. Public safety is foundational. As a former police officer, I believe communities deserve to feel safe, and law enforcement should have the support and resources to do their jobs professionally and effectively. At the same time, accountability matters people need to trust that the system works fairly. Economic opportunity is equally important.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Jobs, wages & cost of living: “Arizona’s biggest challenges will be managing growth, ensuring water sustainability, maintaining public safety, and keeping our economy strong. We need responsible planning, infrastructure investment, and policies that support businesses and families without overregulation.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
