2016

Grantham's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Unleashing the Economy – Jobs

  • We must lower taxes! Raising taxes during times of economic disparity is not an option. I support eliminating the state income tax which will attract even more job creating businesses to our state.

Tax Reform

  • Bottom line – if you want to stimulate the economy, create jobs and allow true economic growth then you must let the people keep more of their hard earned money. By flattening and then eliminating the state income tax, we will encourage additional spending and investment which has been and always will be the driving force behind true economic growth. Continuing to raise taxes to pay for even more government spending only grows the government, not our economy and certainly not job growth.

Education

  • Decisions regarding the education of our children need to be made by the parents and teachers in our state. I support private schools, charter schools, Arizona’s public schools and home schooling. Additionally, I believe that Arizona needs to expand on programs like the tuition tax credit and funding tied to performance and competition amongst schools. Lastly, we must keep the federal leviathan and the Department of Education out of the education business and return as much funding and power as possible back to the state of Arizona.

Immigration

  • First and foremost we must secure Arizona’s border. We owe it to our citizens to utilize EVERY means necessary to secure our border including utilization of the National Guard, which I will continue to be a part of while serving this district. I also support construction of a border wall not only across Arizona’s southern border but across the entire border of the southern United States.

Private Property – Public Lands

  • Property should be owned by the individual, not the government. I will fight for the return of the nearly seventy percent of the land in Arizona that is currently held by the federal government. Our country was founded on private property rights and it is my belief that we as Arizonans could do a much better job managing our forests and land than the federal bureaucracy does from Washington DC.[10]
 ”

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Arizona

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.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of Arizona scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
