Statement
This year, it's important to make the right choice for legislator. I'm the right choice for LD7: I know the real pitfalls and potential of technologies like social media and AI - my opponents will believe any salesman who walks in the door. I will ensure healthcare access for every Arizonan - my opponents will let you die in a gutter. I know the value of good public schools because I went to them - my opponents will never do anything for public education but tear it down. I am the only candidate who will stand up the the corruption, cruelty, and chaos coming from Washington DC. The choice is clear - vote for Sam!
