Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Deborah McEwen (R)

Let's maintain Arizona Sovereignty by rejecting National cookie-cutter laws that don't fit our diverse Arizona culture and threaten our civil rights and freedoms. Do you want lobbyists from New York deciding your health care options? How about California’s liberal justice system overreaching into Arizona towns releasing dangerous criminals back into the streets? Only Arizonan’s know what’s best for Arizona.

Struggling families and mandated lockdowns for our children, parents, veterans and employees have traumatized and depressed us. It’s time to expand Mental Health opportunities for all Arizonans. Bring divinity back into your life. Bring responsibility back into your home. Bring empathy and pride back into your community. Bring honor and success back into the state. We could all use more coping skills and support systems.

Establishing trust in our Election Process is paramount if we are to have successful and meaningful elections. The establishment of an Arizona Election Assistance Commission to comply with HAVA to adopt minimum standards on voter education, registration, and ballots would greatly improve standardization between counties and communities within the state to create more fair and transparent voting experiences.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Deborah McEwen (R)

Public policy that I will concentrate on is Mental Health in all aspects of our society. Mandated closures caused many people to lose their jobs leaving them alienated from co-workers, friends and mentors. We often lose our ability to thrive as individuals and as a society when we don’t work. Unemployed people are 2 times as likely to get divorced, to not be invited or included in daily events and social activities. They are unable to share concerns and fears, leaving them sad, lonely and depressed. Children are just as likely to suffer mentally and be physically sick. This comes at a time critical to their development and socialization. When mental health is threatened, the community suffers with increased crime, addiction and a decline in institutions like education and religion. Arizona has removed occupational licensing restrictions which is a good start to improving the availability of programs and counselors to address this situation. Now it’s time to address health insurance parity, school resource officers and crime reform to destigmatize addiction and mental health. Developing critical thinking minds, moral and ethical cultures, healthy lifestyles and coping mechanisms for children, adults and even the elderly is the pathway to a safe, free and successful society.
