Issues

As a Mom, I know the importance of a good education and I will be an ally of yours in this arena.  

Education is not a one size fits all system. I believe parents are best equipped in making the best choice for their child’s education needs. And Arizona has plenty of educational options to choose.

As a product of a K-12 public district school education, I have worked most of my adult life on behalf of our school children. 

Principals and teachers should be able to work together with parents on the best curriculum for their students.  

Our children are our most critical resource. We need to ensure our investments are directly made to classrooms and teachers so they have funding to compete in our evolving global economy.   

Not all children learn at the same speed or in the same style. I support incubators of success we have experienced in our Arizona charter and district schools and believe the highest performing schools should be replicated across the state. 

Arizona is the first state in the nation to fully conform with federal tax cuts. What that means for you is one of the largest, most comprehensive tax reductions in state history. Whether you're a senior, business owner, or middle-class family, you will pay less in taxes because Republicans led the charge to make Arizona more affordable.

I've also championed legislation to make housing more affordable. We took a critical step in eliminating taxes on rental homes.  

This session, I fought to make housing more affordable through a variety of legislative proposals. Affordability is one of the most critical issues facing Arizonans. We can't have great schools and a strong economy without affordable home prices - both for purchase and rent - and housing options to meet the needs of our residents.  

Government needs to be limited and spending needs to be retrained. I support a balanced budget as a step towards making Arizona prosperous. 

My family does not spend out of its means and neither should our state government. I will work hard to ensure we are never again in a position where we have to sell state buildings just to keep our government functioning.  

I am opposed to unfunded mandates handed down by the federal government and have worked to protect Arizona from them.   

As taxpayers, we should be able to track every dollar the government spends so the process is transparent. It is our right to know how each dollar is spent.  

I am a firm believer in States' rights. 

I have physically toured several parts of our southern border.   I met with third-generation ranchers who have been adversely affected by illegal immigration and human and drug trafficking. 

I am proud to support the Secure the Border Act to ensure law enforcement works together to keep our neighborhoods safe. I have, and will continue to support funding for law enforcement. 

I am proud of the success Arizona has already achieved in this area by cutting regulation, investing in our K-12 system and building a more predictable tax structure. 

The recipe to strong free enterprise is a tax system that taxes all consumed income at the flattest rate. The government should not be picking winners and losers in the marketplace, or setting economic policies that will help one business over another. I am opposed to special interest, corporate subsidies.

Our small businesses are the backbone of our economy. We need a level playing field to help all businesses thrive. I will advocate on behalf of our small businesses to ensure the marketplace remains as fair to the future of their success.
