Campaign priorities: “America’s southern border is under attack aided by the complacency or, perhaps, the support of the Biden administration. Millions of illegal aliens are crossing our border. One of the prime motives for my running for the legislature in 2005 was to stop the illegal immigration onslaught we were experiencing then. I am proud to say that I was a co-author and cosponsor of SB1070, Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law. Today, I continue the fight and have pushed for and will get over half a billion dollars in budgetary expenditures for more border security and more border wall.”

Having spent all 16 years of my legislative time as a member of the appropriations committee, many times as its chairman, I am especially interested in the budget. I have acquired great knowledge in this area and hope to continue serving and using that knowledge to produce fiscally sound and conservative budgets. I am also a champion of humane animal legislation. I am the only legislator to have been awarded the United States Humane Societies "Legislator of the Year" award three times.”
