Phoenix Arizona, 3rd congressional district
How we grow and improve lives
COMMUNITY
EDUCATION
I believe in expanding school choice and quality for ALL Americans regardless of income or zip code. No matter what your preference is - private, charter, or public district - you should have excellent options available. Additionally, families should have easy access to the best
homeschooling and online schooling opportunities. I was an early advocate for what eventually became 2022's HB2002, a bill that requires civics to be taught in Arizonan high schools.
TERM LIMITS
I will only serve three terms and I am in support of term limits for our federal officials. Our nation has created a political class that has forgotten what it's like to work hard to earn a living. This structure no longer serves the people. No one should make a career out of collecting a paycheck on the backs of our hard working families.
ECONOMIC POLICY
Our government has over regulated small businesses while giving special handouts, tax breaks, and bailouts to the multibillion dollar corporations and foreign entities. I believe in policies that put the American worker first. We should be looking into antitrust hearings against potential monopolistic industries and proactive in encouraging American-made products and services be made in America! I believe in an energy independent energy policy which would drastically reduce gas prices.
SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR FUTURE
LONG-TERM WATER SOLUTIONS
While recent bipartisan efforts have been successful from Arizonan Representatives Stanton and Schweikert on securing a new hydropower dam for the SRP. I am in favor of negotiating further dams to create new water reservoirs along the Colorado and its tributaries. Additionally, I believe we should invest in desalination of both ocean water and brackish groundwater as we seek future-proof water security. I would hold hearings on pipeline opportunities throughout the nation.
ENERGY EXPLORATION TO TAKE US INTO THE FUTURE OF OUR CULTURE
Despite the never ending sunshine Arizona has, we cannot rely solely on the electrical grid for the security of our State. With technological advances, we can find other ways to expand our resources without damaging our environment. In spite of the "feel good" impression solar has generated (pun intended), our infrastructure has not kept up with demand. A failure could be catastrophic to our region. This must be addressed and I'm committed to ensuring Arizona is at the forefront of solving
SAFETY
EQUAL RIGHTS
I value the principles of equal rights deeply rooted in our nation's history. Throughout America's journey the pursuit of equal rights for all has been a cornerstone of American democracy. From the abolition of slavery to the women's suffrage movement, we have continually advanced towards a more just and inclusive society. I believe that equal rights should not be seen through the lens of partisan politics but as a shared commitment to upholding the Constitution's promise of individual liberty.
FENTANYL
The surge of deaths from fentanyl has been ever-present in our district. Nearly everybody knows someone who has lost their life or suffered at the hands of the synthetic opioid, fentanyl. It's time to have a Congressman who will fight alongside you to stop this deadly pandemic. The fentanyl crisis demands a multifaceted approach that prioritizes public health, law enforcement collaboration, and community engagement. Law enforcement agencies need resources to stopy this today! Help me do this!
SUPPORT FOR OUR COMMUNITY PROTECTORS
The City of Phoenix Police Department deserves the support of our community. I am committed to ensuring they have the necessary funds and equipment to do their job. It is unfortunate that we have seen a drastic decrease in the amount of officers on the street. Our neighborhoods have seen an increase in crime that frequently goes unreported. This is a direct result of policies established that put our officers at risk and can no longer be tolerated.
