Elections, ethics & government: “President Trump endorsed me in 2022 and 2024 because I am fighting to protect our God-given rights, our borders, and the state of Arizona from socialists and liberals.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Immigration & border: “My platform is to (1) protect life; (2) protect our guns; (3) ban sanctuary cities; (4) protect our border; (5) take care of our veterans; and (6) secure our elections. I can’t fight this fight alone and need your help. Will you stand with me to re-elect me to the AZ State Senate to be an unabashed pro-America conservative? As a retired career Air Force pilot, I know what it’s like to fight. I don’t owe lobbyists or special interests anything . I will only work for you.”

Campaign priorities: “I’m NOT a politician. I’m a Dad, a Veteran, and a Neighbor who’s TIRED of seeing Arizona families left behind. It’s time to put service and integrity back in the driver’s seat.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities: “**Affordability:** Arizona families are being squeezed by rising costs in housing, utilities, healthcare, groceries, and insurance while wages often fail to keep pace. I support increasing the supply of attainable housing, reducing barriers that drive up costs, and investing in infrastructure that supports long-term economic growth. I also believe in greater transparency and accountability in utility rates and government spending to ensure taxpayers are getting real value.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) Jobs, wages & cost of living: “I am passionate about policies that improve affordability, expand access to quality healthcare, and strengthen public education. I also care deeply about supporting veterans and working families, improving rural infrastructure and emergency services, and ensuring communities have access to economic opportunity and attainable housing. I focus on practical, results-driven solutions that make everyday life more stable and affordable while strengthening local communities.”
