| Collapse all
Charlie was born in South Louisiana as a member of the Pointe-Au-Chien Indian Tribe. After watching his ancestors' land disappear due to erosion, Charlie is determined to ensure his new home remains healthy and inhabitable by protecting our environment.
He worked his way through high school and college, being nearly continuously employed from the age of 16. Charlie spent years bagging groceries, working retail, and many other low-paying jobs before finding success and stability. He's learned the value of hard work, and he's learned how little workers are valued.
Charlie was raised in a family of educators, and he's determined to see my children get a quality education.- Charlie is dedicated to being an open and accessible representative who listens to and supports the people of his district. He has no patience for politicians who view their constituents with contempt.
- Charlie has experienced poverty and knows the struggles of the working class. That experience will help inform and drive his policies and decisions.
- Charlie has lost his home to environmental disaster and knows all too well what happens when you ignore or disrespect environmental protections.
Charlie is also focused on our environmental policies, particularly Arizona's water usage. Dealing with our looming water crisis will require investment and changes on many fronts, and our survival depends on us taking this issue seriously.
