Statement
I am not a politician. I am a veteran, businessman, and local leader who has answered the call to continue to serve my state and my community in its time of need. My life experiences will help me be an effective Legislator. I believe we need to protect our democracy from federal overreach. I will work with our state administration to keep our election system strong while ensuring every eligible voter can continue to exercise their right to vote. I support every Arizonan's right to earn a living and will work to limit the significant costs placed on everyone by our current legislature's bad policies. I support the right to choose that every legislative district in our state voted to approve of in our Arizona Constitution in 2024 instead of working to undermine the will of the people like our current representatives. There is egregious fraud, waste, and abuse we're seeing in our school voucher program, and I believe my tax dollars shouldn't pay for other people's affairs or vacations. My experience auditing public companies to protect consumers is what Arizona needs to rein in these abuses. Together we can ensure a prosperous and safe Arizona for all Arizonans.
