| Collapse all
I come from a long line of veterans and my father was a Marine Drill Sargent. I served in the US Navy and currently volunteer with the US Navy Sea Cadet Corp where two of my children are cadets.
I have been a business owner for most of my adult life, and have the skillset to take bureaucracies and big companies and make them more efficient. To reduce the bureaucracy, reduce waste and costs and get more for the money. In Arizona particularly the state government continues to grow and become more wasteful. I believe in small efficient government and I have the skill set to break through the bureaucracy, reduce government, and get more value for our tax dollars.- I have the skillset to be an effective legislator, from negotiating skills to unwavering tenacity.
- I am part of the community and am accessible to people in my community.
- I am not a politician. My reason for running for state senate is to bring my community to the state legislature.
Wasteful spending of our tax dollars. For example, the Highway User Revenue Fund has been hijacked and moneys are being collected from Pima County residence with grossly non-proportional amounts coming back.
Regulations on business have increased which hinders economic growth.
