I will serve all of my district (and Arizona) and I will work to IMPROVE that climate. We are ALL Arizonans who love our state and our country.
As a journalist and an attorney who has long practiced elections law, I know we have a secure, fair and accurate elections system. I am standing up and running because my experiences and skills set will help protect democracy against disingenuous attacks.
Bad bills simply to make political points have become far too prevalent. I will help bring back responsible lawmaking and governing.
We need to work to make our public education system stronger, so we can retain our good teachers and staff, and better educate our children/grandchildren. We need to responsibly plan for our water future and our climate future. We need to protect reproductive rights and women's health decisions. We need to improve our state for ALL Arizonans.
I plan to work on these issues - and MORE - if you entrust me to serve Arizona as a state lawmaker.- As a journalist and an attorney who has long practiced elections law, I know we have a secure, fair and accurate elections system. I am standing up and running because my experiences and skills set will help protect democracy against disingenuous attacks.
- We need to work to make our public education system stronger, so we can retain our good teachers and staff, and better educate our children/grandchildren.

I am passionate about our public education system. We need to build it back better before we are draining the budget to line private parties' pockets.
Environment! In Arizona, addressing climate change and our long-term water supply go hand in hand. Arizona used to be a leader; now, we are behind and jeopardizing our state's future.
