Caroline Strecker

Education I support full funding for Empowerment Scholarship Accounts and policies that let parents choose what’s best for their kids. Government Reform I believe the Arizona Constitution should be interpreted as it was originally intended—protecting individual liberties and limiting government overreach. Mohave County doesn’t need Phoenix bureaucrats making local decisions. Rural communities deserve self-governance, not mandates. Infrastructure / Transportation I’ll support rural-focused water policy—building more storage, investing in water-saving technologies, and opposing any attempt to divert water from rural Arizona to Phoenix. Mohave must protect its water future. Taxes / Budget Arizona’s budget problems should be solved by cutting waste, consolidating programs, and focusing spending on essential services—not by raising taxes. I will vote against any budget that includes tax hikes on rural families or small businesses. Infrastructure / Transportation I support slashing burdensome licensing requirements, especially for tradespeople and independent contractors in rural Arizona. We need to expand opportunities, not add more government hurdles. Environment / Energy I will fight to roll back state regulations that block energy production, mining, and private development—especially when they harm jobs and landowners’ rights. Infrastructure / Transportation I support voter ID, proof of citizenship, hand-count audits, and banning ballot harvesting. We must restore public trust in our elections and ensure every legal vote counts—once. Education I support curriculum transparency, banning CRT and gender ideology in the classroom, and giving parents final authority over what their children are taught. Taxes / Budget I support cutting income taxes, eliminating unnecessary state fees, and stopping tax increases that punish working families and retirees. Fiscal discipline is critical—especially for rural Arizona where families already stretch every dollar. Legislation I strongly support the right of Arizona voters to propose and pass citizen initiatives. However, we must reform the process to prevent outside special interests from flooding Arizona with radical policies that don’t reflect rural values. Defense / Veterans I support using state funds to complete barriers, deploy tech, and protect rural border regions and drug corridors that impact Mohave. Infrastructure / Transportation I support smart infrastructure investments by cutting waste, using federal matches, and prioritizing rural needs—without raising taxes. Guns I’m a staunch defender of the Second Amendment. Mohave residents don’t need government permission to defend themselves. I oppose red flag laws and will fight any attempt to erode our gun rights. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I support giving DPS, sheriffs, and local law enforcement the tools and authority to address illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and cartel activity—especially when federal leadership fails.
