Statement:
It’s time to restore trust and defend freedom. You need a U.S. Senator you can trust to tune out the political noise and do the right thing for Arizona – no matter what comes. Mark Brnovich’s (burn-uh-vich) life has been defined by the fight for freedom. He is the son of immigrants who fled communism in the former Yugoslavia. They came to America – and Arizona – for a reason. Brnovich began his career as a prosecutor and served as a JAG officer in the Army National Guard. When Arizonans lost trust in their Attorney General, he ran and restored trust in the office. Every day, he fights for Arizonans against dangerous border policies, tax mandates, fraud, government overreach, burdensome regulations, and assaults on our freedoms. It’s time to take that same fight to Washington D.C. Arizona faces challenges, but with the right leadership our best days are ahead. Brnovich looks forward to earning your vote and fighting for you. He and his wife Susan live with their two daughters in the same Phoenix neighborhood where he grew up.

Statement:
First elected to the House of Representatives in 2010 on a platform of smaller government, lower taxes, and more freedom, Olson exemplifies what it means to be a citizen legislator. Unlike the career politicians who often become out-of-touch with needs and concerns of their constituents, Olson has always held full-time employment in the private sector while serving his constituents as a lawmaker.
Working in a demanding career as a tax analyst has kept Olson grounded in the day-to-day realities of earning a paycheck, putting food on the table and working within the laws that misguided politicians too often create. This perspective has led Olson to successfully advocate legislation to decrease the burden that government places on families, small businesses and individuals.
Olson’s commitment to conservative principles has led nearly every conservative organization in Arizona to rate him as one of the very best of the state’s legislators. Those recognitions include “Champion of the Taxpayer” by American’s for Prosperity, an “A” rating by the National Rifle Association, and a “Champion of Small Business” by the National Federation of Independent Business.
Justin is a lifelong resident of Mesa where he and his wife, Karyn, are currently raising their children.

Adam will put people first, create a culture that drives Arizona forward, and hold those who get in the way accountable.

Statement:
Why is Mark running for U.S. Congress? Because “America is Worth Saving.”
A model of the American Dream, Mark learned his work ethic from his father, a factory worker. Mark worked long hours to pay his own way through college, becoming the first in his family to earn a college degree.
America gave Mark boundless opportunities, and Mark’s family has given back to America. His grandparents legally immigrated to America from Europe with a dream and drive to make a better life for their families. His father was a Veteran of World War II who bravely fought at the Battle of Iwo Jima. Inspired by the 9-11 attack on our country, his two sons, Scott and Steven, left their careers at CPA firms to fight on the front lines of Afghanistan. Scott learned that his brother Steve was killed in action as he fought just miles away in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan. As a Gold Star Father and a candidate for Congress, Mark will continue his sons’ fight for our freedoms.

Steven Krystofiak is a Camp Verde local, conservative farmer and small business owner with deep Christian roots. He’s NOT a politician looking for his next job while hiring DC consultants to tell you what you want to hear. Steven is running on a very simple and strong philosophy of getting back to basics.
Steven will never loose sight that the federal government’s #1 job is public safety. That means a strong military, a secure border and it means fully funded fire protection on federal lands here in Arizona.
Last summer Steven witnessed the devastating effects the Backbone Fire had on his neighbors. Our community was being evacuated while our tax dollars were being spent on experimental and liberal political projects in DC causing higher inflation. Yet border security and federal firefighters are underfunded. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!
Steven’s key issues; To ensure everyone’s guaranteed right under the 2nd Amendment is always protected. To vote no on liberal policies that add to inflation. Focus our tax dollars on fixing the holes at our nation’s southern border and fully funding our federal firefighters.
Vote for a local farmer. Vote Krystofiak For Congress.

Arizonans are sick and tired of being taken advantage of. I'm John W. Moore, Mayor of Williams, Arizona and I have dedicated my life to public service. I love our state and over the 35 years my family has been here I've worked at every level in our community. From patrolling our neighborhoods, to working with community and business leaders; to keep The American Dream alive. Unfortunately, Washington elites like our President and current Representative Tom O'Halleran are working against the values that made our dream possible in the first place. Values like self-determination and hard work are under attack and we need to do our parts to ensure the American prosperity we have all relied on doesn't end on our watch.
I have dedicated my life to public service first as a police officer, working my way to Chief and finally moving on to City Council and Mayor. Now I ask for your support in my race for Arizona's 2nd US Congressional seat. As a former police chief and the Mayor of Williams, I've found the best way to bring a community together is to listen to those I represent.

Over the past five years, I’ve worked to secure concrete change for rural and tribal Arizona families—funds to clean up abandoned uranium mines in Indian Country, a new veterans nursing home in northern Arizona, COVID relief programs for small businesses fighting to stay open, funding for much-needed forest health programs and forest fire mitigation, and billions in new investments for rural Arizona roads, bridges, broadband expansion, water systems, electric grids, and more, in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Even though our district is changing, the heart of rural Arizona remains intact in Arizona's new Second Congressional District. The families that live in our district are unique in their backgrounds, careers, creeds, and their political beliefs, but they are united by the maverick spirit of our wild, western lands.
Know that it has been my greatest honor to represent you, your family, and our rural communities in Congress. If elected to serve another term, I will continue to build upon the bipartisan work I've done to lower the costs of healthcare and prescription drugs, honor our veterans, invest in our infrastructure, protect the sovereignty of tribal communities, and stand up to attacks on our very democracy.

Statement:
I've reached a point in my life, looking upon my children and my first grandchild, that I'm truly saddened by how far we've decline as a nation, and mourn the country I'll be leaving to the next generations of my family. It has been said that when good men go into hiding evil will reign, and that is never more prevalent today than in days past. Make no mistake, this is a war where the prize is the soul of our country, our children, and ourselves, and it's time we rise up and defeat the enemy of our country and our way of life.
The social / fiduciary contract between the American people and our government has been broken for too long by the very people we've elected to represent the best interests of ourselves and our children. We lived up to our part of the contract; worked hard, paid our taxes, raised God fearing and law abiding children to further the mantle of freedom. Yet while we kept our noses to the grind stone we have been betrayed, sold out to the radical special interests, to communist countries, and worthless politicians. I will fight unto my last breath.

My campaign seeks to return our Country to civility in politics and to be respectable to one another. I seek to engage in civil and meaningful conversations with the constituents of AZ CD 5. Individuals are more complicated than the labels that are placed upon them by society. I endeavor to reach consensus while protecting our freedom, equality, and privacy.
My underling policy for the evaluation of current laws and futures laws will be based upon how the law affects people and their lives. My foundation is based upon the Constitution of the United States that all people are created equal and that we are all endowed with certain inalienable rights and our government is formed to protect a person’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That is the same sensibility I want to bring to Washington as your Congresswoman. I demonstrated experience and know how to achieve results.

I served 28 years in the Air Force defending against Communism and Socialism. I cannot sit on the sideline while Marxism invades our country and top US officials openly embrace those destructive views. I began as a Minuteman Missile Launch Officer. I speak Spanish fluently and continued combating Communism by teaching counter-insurgency courses to Latin American officers at the Command and General Staff Course at Fort Benning, Georgia. I’ve spent significant time in Latin America.
I’ll bring to this position a profound love for our country and the constitutional government that has brought us individual freedom and our position of strength in the world. No country even begins to compare to the United States of America! I firmly believe in the rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I believe in personal property ownership, a secure border, strong national defense, and limited government. I stand for Faith, Family and Freedom.
Born in Tucson, raised in St. David, educated at the University of Arizona, stationed several years at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and retired and living in St. David, I know the area, the people and the issues. I’m your representative.

Inspired by Congresswoman Giffords’s commitment to public service, Hernandez went on to advocate for access to sexual and reproductive health care and education as program manager for Raíz, the Arizona-based Latino outreach program for Planned Parenthood Federation of America. He was also elected to his local school board, becoming the youngest school board president in the district’s history.

I am running for office because I struggle with a felony conviction. I plead guilty to felony charges because I committed crimes I learned by watching congress. Even though many other people committed the same crime, I am a republican and I took responsibility for my mistakes. A federal judge lied to me and told me I would never have the right to vote again. Then I found my voice and I am hoping my journey will inspire the millions of real and legal american citizens who struggle with a felony conviction to find their voice and realize their voice matters too. I am preserving, protecting, and defending the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, not because it is a job I am elected to do, because it is what I was born to do. Republican energy independence or Democrat flatulence, the choice is yours. End Crimmigration, Mass Deportation. The law matters and the Constitution is the law of the land. Even though I struggle to keep my head above water in the cesspool, not swamp, that is Arizona politics. The Lord is my lifeguard, I shall not drown.

Marco Lopez is running for governor because he believes in the Promise of Arizona – the promise that if you work hard and treat people with respect then you can make it here. It’s this idea that led Marco’s parents to immigrate to Arizona from Mexico nearly fifty years ago. They didn’t start out with much, but they dreamed that Marco and his sisters could do better than they did.
That’s just what happened – Marco was part of the first generation in his family to go to college, became one of the youngest mayors in the country at age 22, served Governor Napolitano as Director of Commerce, and then served President Obama at the Department of Homeland Security. Next, Marco started his own small business which has brought high speed internet to 1 million low income families and is on track to create 15,000 jobs in Arizona.
Marco is running for governor because he believes the Promise of Arizona is still possible, but for too many people today it’s out of reach. Marco has the leadership experience in the private and public sector to make that promise of opportunity that brought his parents to Arizona a reality for everyone.

Our democracy is facing a crisis. Too many voters in both parties have lost faith in our electoral process. Accusations of fraud, sloppy record keeping, and questionable security practices have led to an erosion of trust in the most sacred aspect of our democratic institutions.
It was career politicians who have gotten us into this mess. And it will take an executive, a leader, a businessman and someone who has never held elected office to get us out of it.
My name is Beau Lane. I am a native Arizonan, a husband, a dad to four great kids, and I’ve never been more worried for our state. With some Arizonans losing confidence in our elections, we need an immediate change in course. Regrettably, the people charged with administering our elections seem more interested in running for their next political position than doing the job they were hired to do.
I’m not a politician. I’m a business owner/operator, I’m a community leader, and I am committed to restoring faith and trust in our electoral systems and operating the Secretary of State’s office with professional business practices.
I am asking for your vote because our Democracy is worth fighting for.

Border security is national security. That’s why I’m running to be the next Attorney General for the State of Arizona. Drugs coming across the border are destroying lives. Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for young Americans. More than two million people were caught crossing the border illegally last year, and unfortunately, many who cross illegally pose a very real threat to our personal safety and national security.
I was the Border Security Section Chief for the United States Attorney’s Office under the Trump Administration. I led a team of people who worked every day to enforce our nation’s border laws. I personally prosecuted coyotes, gang members, cartels, and terrorists. I know what needs to be done to put an end to the border crisis.
With violent crime on the rise, Arizona needs a leader in the Attorney General’s Office who will fearlessly fight criminals and passionately defend law enforcement. I have spent the last 15 years as a state and federal prosecutor protecting the rights and safety of all Arizonans, and that’s exactly what I will do as your next Attorney General. I have the right experience to tackle the most urgent issues facing our state today.

I’m a first generation American who has dedicated my life to defending the Constitution. As a prosecutor, I’ve defended the rule of law and put criminals away. As a U.S. Army Captain and Intelligence Officer who just returned from a deployment to the Middle-East – I know about protecting our state and nation. That's why I'm supported by Trump’s national security team: Ric Grenell, Kash Patel, and Robert O'Brien.
I’m running for Attorney General because when I got back from my deployment, I no longer recognized our country. I witnessed Arizonans surrender their freedoms in the name of security, while the political class blatantly violated their own decrees. We watched as churches, schools, and small businesses were shut down while big-box stores remained open. They demonize our police while idolizing criminals. When do we say enough is enough? I say NOW.
As Attorney General, I will prosecute criminals who terrorize our cities. I will ensure our elections are free, fair, and without fraud. I will go after the cartels that are importing drugs into our communities, treating them as the terrorists they are. I will safeguard our God-given freedoms. I’m running to be the Attorney General that fights for you

Arizonan since 1979 and received my MBA from ASU in 1981. My career in corporate financial management spans 40 years with 30 years as a CFO.

Some of these fundings required me to invest the bulk of the money with major banks that offer trust fund management. Before the decision to invest was made I presented to the Board of Directs several options of investments that assured to the highest degree safety and liquidity of the investor’s money. The one constancies that ran through my career was the need for accurate information and the integrity of the decision maker when using the information. Those skill developed focus on facts and elimination of bias and special interests which I believe are essential for good government.

The pillars of a quality education have been demolished in the state of Arizona. Instead of
promoting academic achievement, educators are indoctrinating students in
critical race theory and other radical propaganda. This results in student laziness and
failure to master skills necessary for a successful life.
My first priority is to get CRT out of our schools and to bring back the emphasis on academics. I want to bring strong conservative values back to our schools. I will promote real
learning and fight for English immersion instead of bilingual. I intend to fight back against all types of
brainwashing of our children. Moreover, under my leadership, our schools will stay open and
not shut down to appease special interests.
I’m the only candidate with the experience, knowledge, and integrity to do this job effectively.
When I served as school board president and later as Arizona Superintendent, my team and I
made undeniable progress: higher SAT scores and students better prepared for higher learning
instruction. I put a stop to ethnic studies, which had CRT in its curriculum. But since I left office it has come back. I put a stop to it once and I will do it again.

For five years, in front of the commission, I have been fighting empty promises, discrimination, neglect from the Corporation Commission staff, irresponsible rate setting, corruption, and refusal of service from a utility. It became painfully clear that for decades Arizonans have dealt with a Corporation Commission that has neglected the people. Corporations have essentially had free rein. Arizonans need someone with a proven track record, who is willing to stand up for them now, and in the future. Someone who will look out for their best interests proactively instead of reactively. Many Arizona utility customers, just like you, end up paying more than they should, having disconnection issues, and sometimes are even the victims of abusive practices by utilities. All of these are problems that I can, have, and are continuing to address. For five years I have been a customer, just like you, that has dealt with unfair and unjust utility issues. All things that I will continue address as a Commissioner. It’s time to start focusing on the issues that really matter for Arizona’s future. Let’s stop this trend and elect someone with the recent experience needed to serve you, the people of Arizona.

I retired from office, but my wife and I agreed I should answer the call to serve one more time because every day we wake up and barely recognize our country. Our government -- in the name of public health -- is stripping away our Constitutional rights. Socialism is marching against us. Inflation is out of control. That’s why we need proven conservatives to fight for liberty, our Constitution, secure elections, real border security (wall!), school choice, and an end to CRT and other left-wing programs.

The three-decade defunding of Arizona’s public schools, which has placed us last in the US, must be reversed to achieve the following:
• A comprehensive solution for P-20 education, including increasing access and affordability of PreK and higher education.
• More resources going to schools to serve the students most in need (poverty/opportunity weight).
• Funding that solves our next fiscal challenges when federal COVID relief funds dry up in 2024 or the Prop 123 triggers activate.
• A long-term fix for the Aggregate Expenditure Limit.
• A significant investment in special education.
• Funding for full day kindergarten
• Raising teacher pay to a competitive level.
Efforts to place election outcomes in the hands of partisan groups must be stopped. Let’s empower voters so voting is easy and secure. We need to retain early voting.
To create an economy that works for all of us, Arizona needs a fair tax structure to prevent structural deficits and balance the tax burden equitably.

2. Water. I will work to determine the best solutions for the current water crisis, which will only worsen as the population in Arizona grows.
3. Budget. I will work to ensure that the senate stops misusing funds for political grandstanding and tax giveaways for the rich.

These failing performance metrics deter businesses from relocating to our state. If Arizona wants to attract businesses to relocate to Arizona, we need to provide a more educated workforce with educational systems in place for their families. Relying largely on the steady climate has its limitations.
I believe I can be most effective in the Arizona State Senate. I have a strong voice regarding the need to have an educated workforce to attract more higher paying employers to the State. Issues exist – I will fight to solve with innovative ideas.

I believe the Government has taken so much from the people that they have trouble simply surviving, instead of improving.
I believe in Personal Property rights and our sovereignty and will defend them to the utmost.
Our School system is completely out of control. Massive spending and moving further and further away. Our kids need to learn necessary life skills rather than simply learning how to pass tests.
Another big issue lately is Immigration. It's a misconception that Libertarians want unsecured borders. My thought on this is that we appreciate legal immigration. It is what built our great Country. The problem is the crimes committed when illegal immigration is permitted, Fraud, Smuggling, Etc... I understand this is a small percentage of illegal immigrants, but it is also true that there is a small percentage of USA citizens that are criminals, but we still enforce the law. This needs to apply to everyone.
Finally, I just want to say, if you want your freedoms back and your rights respected, Vote Libertarian.

I’m very humbled that you have allowed me to represent you and I want you to know that I work hard on your behalf. I continue to vote for balanced budgets and policies to protect and create jobs, strengthen education, increase classroom funding and teacher pay, and find creative funding streams that bolster our economy while cutting taxes. I’ve protected your 2nd Amendment rights, defended the Constitution, protected the unborn, fought for border security, advocated for veteran's rights, fought Federal overreach and unconstitutional mandates, protected family values, cleaned up the Department of Child Safety, and more. I helped lead the effort to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment, I’ve won the Friend of the Family and Hero of the Taxpayer awards, fought to block ObamaCare, and opposed Common Core in favor of high education standards that come from Arizona parents and teachers. I want a smaller and more responsive government, greater liberty, a fiscally responsible state, a strong economy, respect for the rule of law, and stronger families. If you agree, I ask for your vote. Thank you!

Kyle was born and raised in Gilbert, AZ. Kyle has been organizing since 2016, fighting for a government that works to make the lives of Arizonans better.
In 2018, as the organizer in Flagstaff, Kyle registered over 2,500 young people and contributed to an increase in voter turnout in the 2018 election of 300% on NAU's campus. After graduating, Kyle took a job with a Congressional campaign where he met with and listened to the concerns of thousands of Arizona voters.
Kyle's passion is in working with young people and increasing their political power. Arizona has seen drastic cuts to public education funding, and Kyle has seen the suffering of students, their families, faculty, and staff as a result. Kyle wants to see our public schools funded by 100% public funds. Kyle wants to see a thriving Arizona with jobs that have benefits (paid sick leave, parental leave, retirement savings, etc.). Most importantly, Kyle wants to see a State Legislature that works for ALL Arizonians, not just wealthy donors.

For ten years as your public servant elected to the Arizona Legislature, I have fought to restore integrity and accountability in government. Having grown up in poverty with a single mother, I know that individual success is built on a shared investment in public education, infrastructure, health, economic stability, housing, and safety. Now as a new father, I know firsthand how important it is that we end the political and economic inequalities that punish many Arizonans by denying opportunities to better the future of their children. I received my associate's from Phoenix College, bachelor's from ASU, and am pursuing a Master's in Public Administration. Previously, I managed AZ Community Voice Mail, a nonprofit where I connected thousands living in poverty, transition, and homelessness to jobs, housing, information, and hope. I also served on the Tempe Community Council. I recently was a substitute teacher for Tempe & Mesa high schools and co-instructor at Phoenix College.
The number one barrier to progress for all at the Capitol is the influence of big money in elections. Money shouldn’t determine how legislators vote. I am running for re-election as a part of your publicly-funded Clean Elections Team with support from voters like you.

I am running as a write-in candidate in the Democratic primary for the AZ Senate. I had no notion of running for office assuming LD 15 would have a full slate of candidates in the primary- a senator and two reps. Finding we had none, I decided to run a Senate campaign offering an alternative to Jake Hoffman, our current and morally bankrupt senator. As Thomas Jefferson said, " The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest." It is time to take that stance by electing a citizen legislator instead of a corrupt politician. I am a lifelong Democrat who has assisted in campaigns, but never ran for office. I am a huge proponent of strong public schools, state community colleges and state universities. I fully support women's right to choose what happens to their bodies and their futures. This difficult choice is theirs, not a state legislature. Gun violence can be reduced with common sense legislation. Water conservation in the desert is a must. AZ groundwater needs to be much better understood, so development can be properly planned.

Democratic Candidate for Arizona State Senate
Legislative District 17
I’m running for State Senate to defend the most basic right of all Arizonans--the right to vote and to have that vote counted honestly. Our present senate has wasted time and money on ‘audits’ and passing highly partisan bills imported from other states...bills that are intended to divide us and divert our attention from issues that matter.
I believe in meeting our challenges head-on. In addition to fair voting rights, I will fight for excellent public schools; quality health care for all Arizonans; and for women and their doctors to decide on appropriate medical procedures, not legislators. I will fight to protect our children by pushing for the passage of sensible gun safety laws.
I won’t allow special interest groups to keep us stuck in the past when it comes to negotiating a workable water plan that protects Arizona’s future, and takes advantage of the unique economic benefits to generate solar power.
I am running as a Clean Candidate so no one has given me more than $180 to fund my
campaign. My only obligation is to the people of Arizona.

Families are being torn about by political division that is fueled by the mainstream media.
I helped to raise my three kids in Arizona, and all graduated from Arizona schools. I am a certified substitute teacher in Arizona and have worked in Amphi and Marana schools.

I have been a watchdog against overreaching bureaucracy. I believe that the majority of COVID closures, including restrictions placed on churches were unconstitutional. I took an oath to protect and honor the U.S. Constitution. There are no “yea-buts” in that Constitution. If you want a team that works together to get things done, please write in DAN DELLINGES (Senate), DEBORAH MCEWEN (House) AND DAMIEN KENNEDY (House) on your primary ballot.

Blessed with a unique district that is home to a variety of cultures and natural resources. Arizona’s Desert Southwest Yields the highest quality agriculture, bottled dairy, hunting, military installations and some of the friendliest people. Sadly, our rural district is suffering from a lack of funding for water, education, health care and infrastructure from border walls to highways & residential widening streets projects. When we demand money for our rural communities needs, our current long term legislators (D) Vote NO.
Infrastructure is critical for our rural communities safety ,thats why I'm going to the State Capitol to prioritize the Urgency that has been neglected and a complete failure under our current long term elected legislators. The quality of life we enjoy shouldn't be a pawn in a partisan political game. While businesses & families are still recovering from the damage done to our economy by the pandemic.The tax burden placed on business owners must be lightened- substantially.
Property taxes must come down. Our communities can't survive thru this inflation in food supplies , rising housing prices and fuel cost !
Im going to the State Capital to finish our recovery & lighten the burdens created by the current administration (D)

President Trump referred to me as “…an incredible fighter for Election Integrity” and applauded my work fighting for Economic growth, support of the Second Amendment, Jobs, Secure Borders, and Public Education. As a State Representative, I stood up to the special interests and stopped many bad bills. As a result, I have now a primary challenger that opposes President Trump’s policies and my conservative record, so I need your vote to ensure that we use common sense to secure our borders against the ongoing migrant invasion and push back against attempts by the Joe Biden’s administration to drag us into socialism. My opponent will claim to be a conservative, but my actual six-year voting record is proof I am a true conservative.

Vera Gebran is running for State House in District 4 because she’s invested in rescuing this country for her children’s generation. For far too long, America has been declining. Our social institutions are being poisoned by ideology, our elections are becoming less secure, and illegal immigration has yet to be solved.
Vera also believes it’s past due to push back against an overreaching government and Big Tech trying to micromanage our lives. Vera is running for the State House because now is a critical fork in the road for Arizona—we either maintain Arizona history as a state of opportunity or we allow radical ideologies to squander the American dream away.
As immigrants from Lebanon, Vera’s parents arrived with little more than a strong work ethic. With hard work and the American opportunity, they built a beautiful life for themselves and their children. Because of this, Vera is incredibly passionate about the United States and freedom. It’s her desire to protect taxpayers, restore our Constitutional rights, and improve our K-12 schools and universities.
Vera is a woman of the people, not of politicians.

They are chosen because the improvements on these will significantly enhance government efficiency, reduce social problems, and lead to long-lasting economic prosperities.

I see the world of opportunity for our children getting smaller: from access to education, making their own family planning and healthcare decisions, the environment they will inherit, and whether they will have a voice in their democracy.
Arizonans deserve a better future. I want to expand the choices and opportunities for Arizonans. As a mother, I think a lot about the legacy we are leaving to our children. Politicians rarely seem to consider what the long-term ramifications their policies will have on subsequent generations. We are the stewards of their future.
I fought for our country, our freedoms, and our future. Our country is currently divided and that doesn’t help Arizona families. The government needs to work for us again. “We the people” needs to mean something once more. We need to bring common sense back into government, to focus more on issues that bring us together, less on what divides us, and a return to fiscal responsibility that can still meet the needs of Arizona's working families.
That’s the example we need to set for future generations!

As a journalist and an attorney who has long practiced elections law, I know we have a secure, fair and accurate elections system.

I will help bring back responsible lawmaking and governing.
We need to work to make our public education system stronger, so we can retain our good teachers and better educate our children/grandchildren. We need to responsibly plan for our water future and our climate future. We need to protect reproductive rights and women's health decisions. We need to improve our state for ALL Arizonans. I plan to work on these issues - and MORE - if you entrust me to serve Arizona as a state lawmaker. Thank you!

After moving to Chandler in 1999, Arizona is the place I call home. It’s an amazing state but the things that make it successful are under attack. Ironically, voters are fleeing high-tax, high-regulation states are moving to low-tax, low-regulation states like Arizona, but they’re bringing their liberal policies and voting habits with them. We need to make sure we don’t let this leftward push ruin everything that’s working in Arizona. I’ll work to protect election integrity followed by school choice, teacher pay increases, and strong K-12 support. I’ll advocate for secure borders and enforcement of our laws. I’ll work for a strong economy and safe neighborhoods. And I’ll oppose efforts to raise taxes or give government greater control over our lives and daily decisions. As a servant leader for the last several decades, I am committed to you and I will work tirelessly to get the job done! I’m a wife and mother, blessed with three great kids. I’ve worked in real estate for the last 17 years and have served in a variety of community and industry positions.

I am a retired physician who has lived in the new Legislative District 17 for 38 years. I am also a wife and mother. I am running for Arizona State Representative to represent YOU, and to promote the policies most Arizonans want: (1) honest and reliable governance and elections, (2) good public education that teaches rational thinking and job skills, not racial divisiveness, (3) second amendment rights that allow us to defend ourselves and our families, and (4) individual freedom to make health care decisions for ourselves and our children. Right now, most of us believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, with our borders completely unsecured, inflation out of control, energy sources dependent on foreign and hostile countries, and government deficit spiraling ever upward. We need to push back on these destructive policies as strongly as possible in the state legislature. We must also preserve the authority that the state has traditionally held to manage its own affairs. The candidates we elect to our state legislatures could be the most important people in government over the next few years. Please take the time to vote.
