Nancy has continually searched out leadership positions in our community. She volunteered for several years in her daughters’ classrooms and served as President of the Manzanita Elementary FFO. She was the Physical Education Department Chair for five years and is currently on the Safety Committee at Tucson High Magnet School. In 2017, she served on the board of the Tucson chapter of the National Organization for Women and was elected as the President of that organization in 2018. She has been a dance mom and a soccer mom too. She is committed to our vital and vibrant community and will work hard for to people of LD18.
- Every student in Arizona deserves a quality and equitable public education. I will always protect this right and fight for fully funded public edcuation. We must pay our teachers and staff a salary that is comparable to the surrounding states. We need more funding to increase the number of counselors at every school site. We have schools in our state that are literally falling down because that budget has not been funded for years. We need to update our school busses and be sure that our students are riding in safe transportation. I will also fight to end vouchers that take our public tax dollars and give them to private and charter schools with no oversight.
- We must pass sensible gun legislation in Arizona. We need red flag laws. The age to purchase any sort of gun should be increased to 21. We need to close the loop holes for gun shows so that everyone who wants to purchase a gun has a waiting period and goes through a background check. We also need to reinstate the need for acquiring a license in order to carry a concealed weapon. There should never be guns allowed on any of our school campuses, included our universiites.
- We must protect our rights. This includes the right to vote, the right to abortion and the the right to secure our water so that future generations can live in Arizona. I will always protect these rights.

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.
