Ross Groen was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 25 of the Arizona House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Groen's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

  • Businesses and entrepreneurs should not be crushed under layers of needless regulation.

INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

  • Our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights (including free speech, religious liberty and the right to bear arms) must be continually safeguarded against the steady erosion of the regulatory state.

ALL HUMAN LIFE

  • The first duty of government is to protect innocent life, including the unborn

EDUCATION

  • Our education system should be well-funded and accountable. Accountability is best provided by ensuring parents and students can choose schools that serve their needs.

OUR ECONOMIC FUTURE

  • We owe a duty to future generations to limit government, be fiscally responsible and balance budgets.

THE RULE OF LAW

  • Our legal code should be clear, fair and uniformly enforced. No person, group or business should receive special treatment, and outdated or unenforced statutes should be eliminated.[1]
—Ross Groen, [2]
