ISSUES

Education is the only way up the ladder of success in our country.  Without, our kids don’t stand a chance.  That’s why I’ve been active in education policy for over 14 years. I served as an elected board member for a school district. 

My wife, son, and daughter-in-law all work today in education. When I was an elected school board member I wanted to show how we can bring private sector principals to the public sector and helped save millions of dollars.  And unlike our current State Representative Joel John, I’m a proud supporter of Parental Rights and  empowering parents.

When Joel John joined with the Democrats to kill major school choice efforts he denied thousands of Arizona kids the opportunity to get into better schools and get a better education.  Joel John was wrong to do that, and if I am elected I will vote FOR the kids, FOR the parents, and FOR their right to have quality education choices. 

Donald Trump had a border security policy that was the best America had seen in decades, and it was working! Joe Biden has reversed all of it – stopping the wall construction, restarting catch and release, and allowing human trafficking, gangs, drugs, and violence to pour across our border in record amounts.  This puts our state and our country at risk, overcrowds our hospitals and some of our schools, and puts the men and women of law enforcement and border patrol at much greater risk. 

No more.  Enforce our laws, finish the wall, end illegal immigration. 

No taxpayer-funded benefits for those here illegally.  We have processes in place to allow legal immigration and guest workers for industries that need them, but those who would break our laws and trespass into our country can no longer be tolerated. 

We need to have fair, honest, and accurate elections. If you disagree, you shouldn’t be in elected office.  Yet far too many Republicans are defending the flaws in our existing system because they don’t like Donald Trump, when this fight isn’t about Donald Trump at all.  

We need to know that only legal citizens vote, that our votes are counted correctly, that efforts to commit fraud are blocked and prosecuted, and that our system works as it should.  For every candidate, in every race, every time. 

Efforts by the radical left to open our system to non-citizens or to play games with how we vote or how we count the vote are nothing more than attempts to rig the system in their favor, at the expense of what is right. 

I’ll fight for Election Integrity and I’ll make it a real priority. 

Agriculture is part of the economic heartbeat of Arizona and is a major industry in our Legislative District. My father’s parents were all corn farmers back in Dekalb, Illinois, so I grew up with an appreciation for the industry and the life.  

Growing up near the border of Wisconsin also meant I had a lot of friends who were corn and dairy farmers, which gave me the chance to gain farming experience of my own.  

When I ran for office in Illinois I was endorsed by my local Farm Bureau, and I bring that same passion for the industry and the families who are involved in it, to this campaign. 

I’ll fight for the water rights we need and work to protect the industry who want to shut it down or move it to other states because they think they know better.  

“Those who are not willing to die for their freedom, deserve neither freedom 

nor liberty.”  

I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, the most restrictive state for gun owners in America, so trust me when I tell you that gun control doesn’t work and it gets people killed. I support gun ownership and will fight 100% for the protection of our 2nd Amendment rights. “Shall not be infringed” says it all! 

I am a past member of the board of directors for Right to Life in Illinois and was endorsed by the Right to Life PAC when I ran for office there.  

I am pro-life, pro-family, and support policies to provide abortion alternatives and support for expecting mothers, as well as support 

once the baby is born. 

Arizona is one of the hottest job markets in the country and the fastest growing state in the country, because we have cut taxes and regulations and built a state where companies can naturally grow and thrive.

Let’s keep things working while making smart plans for how to accommodate future growth.  We will face transportation, water, and infrastructure challenges, but if we plan well, we can continue to set an example for the rest of the country to follow. 

 God bless those who serve and who have served.  Arizona is an increasingly friendly state for veterans and I’d like to see Arizona ranked #1 on any such list.  

I’ll work to protect our military bases and to provide support for those on active duty.  I’d also like to pursue ways that we can make life easier for our retired veterans community, so that they can enjoy a high quality of life on their fixed income pensions.
