Campaign themes
2016
MacBeth made the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding her political philosophy:[1]
| “ |
It is time to take a stand for the people of Arizona--not just special interests whose goal is to diminish and divide us. We are creating a system that keeps us from reaching our potential as individuals and as a state. Properly funding schools, providing access to reproductive healthcare, and setting a tax policy that provides real incentives for growth will make a difference for everyone. We need a workforce that is prepared by our schools, community colleges and universities to drive our economy forward. We can grow together! [6] |
