Campaign priorities: “Arizona families deserve relief from rising costs. My campaign is focused on the kitchen-table issues. Housing, healthcare, and utilities. I will work to make housing more attainable, protect access to affordable healthcare, and hold utilities accountable so working families, seniors, and small businesses are not priced out of their communities. • Education changed my life, and I have spent more than 30 years helping students succeed at Pima Community College.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) Jobs, wages & cost of living: “I am especially passionate about affordable housing, accessible healthcare, fair utility costs, public education, community colleges, workforce development, veterans’ services, water security, and responsible growth. These issues are connected: families thrive when they can afford a home, receive the care they need, access excellent education and training, and find good-paying jobs in communities with a secure water future. My goal is to expand opportunity while protecting taxpayers and Arizona’s quality of life.”
