Statement
I'm finishing my second term and was elected the Republican Majority Leader, giving our district real clout and a prominent voice in today's major issues. As always, I defend taxpayers, work to lower inflation and prices, fight for election integrity, protect school choice, and fight to end illegal immigration. I've written bills to secure our elections and provide real transparency and accountability. I've voted for efforts to help President Trump secure our borders. I've championed agriculture issues for Yuma and the West Valley in Maricopa County, and Arizona's long-term water future. And I continue to battle the left on issues ranging from taxes to public safety, protecting girls' sports and locker rooms, and fighting for your medical freedom. I'm grateful for the support I've gotten from veterans, cops, doctors and more, and I'll keep fighting the swamp here in Arizona. Alongside Nick Kupper, our district has one of Arizona's most conservative teams, but we now face a challenge from our left who disagrees with our values and votes. You get TWO votes for State House and I ask you to reject the left and vote for both Carbone AND Kupper so we can continue the fight to keep Arizona great!
