Criminal Justice Reform:I would like to focus on making Arizona a place that invests in rehabilitation over incarceration. There is proven evidence that locking people away for years and years for low-level offenses is not the best way to prevent future harm and actually contributes to a cycle of incarceration and trauma.We need to take a holistic approach to crime prevention in our communities. I want to focus on how we can reform the sentencing guidelines here in Arizona and how we can hold prosecutors accountable for the actions and decisions that they make when they put people in prison for a long time. I want to focus on how we can help people when they come home from prison be successful in society, get a job, restore their right to vote, find safe housing and be able to rebuild their lives.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
