Campaign priorities: “Arizona should be a place where working families, seniors, and small businesses can afford to thrive. I will fight to keep taxes low, reduce unnecessary government costs and regulation, protect seniors on fixed incomes from being taxed out of their homes, and support policies that create good jobs and economic opportunity. Government should respect the people who earn the money it spends and be accountable for every taxpayer dollar. • Every family deserves a safe neighborhood and every child deserves a quality education.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
Jobs, wages & cost of living: “I am passionate about public safety, education, economic opportunity, government accountability, and protecting Arizona’s most vulnerable residents. As a veteran, cybersecurity professional, CPA, and small-business owner providing memory care for seniors, I have seen how government decisions affect families and businesses firsthand. I want safe neighborhoods and schools, excellent educational opportunities for every child, an economy where families can afford to live and prosper, responsible use of taxpayer dollars, and compassionate policies that protect seniors and vulnerable adults.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Education: “Public Education: My parents are both educators, I am a proud product of Arizona public schools and I am an auntie to six public school students. I will be a champion for more funding for our schools. I will fight against any expansion to the voucher programs which take public funding away from our schools and our teachers. I will fight for teachers’ rights to negotiate a better salary, better benefits and the right to form and join unions. I will work to pass legislation that reduces class sizes and ensures there are more counselors on campus. I believe community college should be free.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))
Energy & environment: “Our biggest challenge is combatting climate change. I support putting contingency plans in place in Arizona to protect our water resources, capture solar energy, and expand clean energy. It is imperative that Arizona builds an intentional plan for justly transitioning workers from the traditional energy sector into good-paying, unionized green energy jobs. The plan must go beyond simple workforce development training.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))
