David Livingston
Candidate for Arizona State House – District 28
Arizona · Legislative District 28
Statement
I'm proud to be considered one of Arizona's most reliably conservative legislators, because you deserve someone who puts Arizona and America First. I have a 100% voting record for jobs, lower prices, secure elections, a strong border (border wall!), and an end to illegal immigration. I have a 100% pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment record. I've earned the "Friend of the Family" and the "Hero of the Taxpayer" awards and helped lead the fight for real school choice and parental rights. I vote for medical freedom and am working to secure our water future. As part of your Proven Conservative Team of Carroll, Livingston & Pingerelli, we are again being challenged by a candidate who disagrees with us on these issues, but we will continue voting right no matter who the swamp runs at us. We won't back down from what is right. I have opposed special interests, voted NO on bad bills, and was proud to be a delegate for Donald Trump at the RNC National Convention, so you know I don't scare easily. I'll keep doing what is right and ask you to cast your TWO State House votes for Livingston & Pingerelli. Arizona's Most Conservative Team. Thank you!
