Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Leadership: I spent over 20 years leading and mentoring teams of business and technology professionals for medium and large corporations across several industries. Much of my success can be attributed to listening and working with my teams to build strategies for success. I describe my leadership style as firm but fair.
• Integrity: I am accountable for my actions, have compassion for others and therefore build trust in my relationships.
• Experienced problem-solver: I am a critical thinker that seeks to solution through obtaining a grasp on root-cause; developing a critical path; and getting things done with a focus on measurable outcomes.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

1) Arizona’s economy - I will work with all stakeholders on policy strategies to attract, diversify our portfolio and retain businesses including SMB and large corporations across our state. 2) Securing our border (immigration) - I will work with legislatures, from both parties, Governor, SOS, AG, Treasurer, border officials and community stakeholders to examine our existing statutes or create new policies that streamline Arizona's processes and our ability to execute solving these issues. 3) Educating a prepared workforce – Arizona’s ability to execute the plan for growth is highly dependent on its ability to develop a pipeline of qualified workers. This pipeline will need to consist of candidates from higher education, trade disciplines, and veterans.
