| Collapse all
- Supporting our police officers. There is nothing more important than public safety. Our officers and firefighters know this and that’s why both strongly endorse me for Re-election.
- We must have policies that support a strong economy and fight inflation. Phoenix has been on an economic roll and we must make sure our policies support the business community, especially small businesses. I’m proud to have the support of many business groups.
- We have to continue to be responsible stewards of our water supply. Phoenix has done a great job managing its water and dramatically reducing per capita consumption. Recent developments in the district I represent are have been mandated to have as low a consumption level as any.
