Landis was a Republican candidate for District 13 of the Arizona House of Representatives in 2014.

Campaign themes

2016

Landis' campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Low Tax: I ran for, and was elected to, the City Council on a platform that opposed the property tax...and today in Litchfield Park we do not have a property tax!
  • Pro Second Amendment: I strongly support the Second Amendment, am a member of the NRA and have had a concealed weapons permit for 20 years. My father taught me to shoot as a young girl; gun rights are a priority.
  • Pro-life: I am, and have always been, staunchly pro-life.
  • Secure Border: I grew up on a cattle ranch along the Arizona-Mexico border outside of Nogales, and my parents still live there. I know firsthand what is happening and how seriously we MUST secure our borders.
  • Natural Resources: Water is the lifeblood of this state and our agriculture industry is the backbone. I will be a watchdog and protector of water rights for our district!
  • 10th Amendment: The Federal Government has a job to do, I know...I worked in the Bush '41 White House and my husband was honored to serve in the Reagan Administration. That job does not include telling the states how to run our schools or our businesses.
  • Government: Keeping government out of things it shouldn't be involved in is a high priority for me.
  • The Military: With three military installations in this district my experience and know-how will be important if we are to protect them in the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) process.[1]
 ”
—Diane Landis, [2]

2014

Landis' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[3]

Immigration

  • Excerpt: "Arizona needs a well-defined, manageable, and appropriate legal guest worker program, that has nothing to do with citizenship or a pathway to citizenship."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Funds should be appropriated as necessary to accomplish the intended outcomes and used with a diligent respect for the taxpayers investment."

Public Services

  • Excerpt: "Where the state does have an obligation to provide services, every effort to be fiscally responsible and efficient should be made, always doing the best job possible at the lowest taxpayer expense."
