Statement
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people!" I'm Esteban Flores, echoing Lincoln's words defending God-given liberties. Freedom above all else! The first responsibility of government is "to protect and maintain individual rights, to form a more perfect union…, ensure domestic tranquility, to provide for the common defense." Ensuring the safety and protection of its citizens. Homelessness and violence have increased in our streets through fentanyl and the recent four years of open borders, while our current representatives have done nothing to fix it! We must change representation! I'm known for my TUSD school board run. I fought to improve education, protect children from inappropriate content, and defend parental authority. I've served our district from Trauma 1 hospital units, anesthesia, endoscopy, and radiology, saving lives from the worst kinds of traumatic violence. Gunshot victims, stabbings, overdoses, domestic abuse, gastrointestinal bleeding, I've seen it all, serving all people, all walks of life during their most desperate moments of need. I will do the same here, utilizing my service at the Gospel Rescue Mission, medical background, business, and ministry experience for economic sustainability and address the fentanyl crisis. To ensure safe streets and economic prosperity! Let's put Southern Arizona First!
