Statement
I am running for Arizona State Treasurer to bring disciplined, results-driven investment leadership to state government. As a self-made businessman, I built a successful company from the ground up and understand how to manage capital, evaluate risk, and deliver strong returns—skills essential to protecting taxpayer dollars. I believe the Treasurer's primary responsibility is to safeguard and grow Arizona's investments. I am committed to investing taxpayer dollars safely and responsibly while maximizing returns, ensuring our state's financial future remains secure. My approach prioritizes performance over politics—rejecting ESG and politically driven investment strategies that put ideology ahead of results. I will also increase transparency and accountability in how public funds are managed. I will work to identify inefficiencies, eliminate waste, and ensure every taxpayer dollar is protected and working effectively for the citizens of Arizona. I am running to bring private-sector discipline to public finance, deliver strong and stable returns, and ensure Arizona remains financially secure for generations to come.
