Campaign themes

Education
- Excerpt: "We need to be training our children today with the skill sets to adapt to ideas, technologies, and intellectual advancements that do not even exist yet."
Budget Priorities
- Excerpt: "Moving forward, we need to articulate a strategic vision for the state which moves beyond the short-sighted approach of the 12-month budgetary cycle and is focused on investing in a sustainable, 21st century economy."
Taxes
- Excerpt: "With a focus on implementing a comprehensive tax policy for Arizona, and diversifying our overall economy, we can have reductions in the rates of taxation if we close a significant portion of the special interest loopholes for exemption."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "As an employer who provides and pays for 100% of my 60+ employees healthcare premiums, I do not believe my personal beliefs about healthcare services should dictate choices they make with their healthcare providers and families."
Ethics
- Excerpt: "I will gladly champion legislation that restricts the influence of special interests, limits gifts to elected officials, requires full disclosure of financial and in-kind benefits, and creates not an illusion of transparency, but actual transparency and open government."
