Campaign priorities: “Every Arizonan deserves access to food, housing, healthcare, and essential goods. As a legislator, I have focused on making Arizona more affordable by reducing the cost of healthcare and improving access to housing and education. I was proud to sponsor a bill this year to prevent price gouging on essential prescription medication. With homeownership out of reach for many, I cosponsored legislation to address the unregulated corporate homeownership that has driven up the cost of buying and renting homes in our state while hardworking people are being displaced and unhoused.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
Energy & environment: “I want to see Arizona not only survive, but thrive. Because of that, I am deeply passionate about public education policy, clean energy and water conservation, and ensuring food and housing security for all Arizonans.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
Education: “Over the next decade, our greatest challenges will be the future of our water and an energy crisis coupled with the challenge of building an educated workforce without investment in our public educational institutions.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
