Education When elected, I will fully fund public education for every student and every neighborhood school in every community in the state. I will do everything in my power to end the abuses of the school voucher program and bring fairness, accountability, and transparency back to Arizona education. This commitment extends to our great public colleges and universities. Healthcare Healthcare allows each of us to live our best lives. Each individual, community, and state should have the care they deserve to prevent diseases and respond to public health emergencies. Infrastructure / Transportation I will always prioritize protecting and expanding our voting rights, guarantee access to the ballot, secure the integrity of election systems, and reform redistricting to give power back to the people. Healthcare As your representative, my healthcare plan is clear: protect Arizona's Medicaid expansion, lower the cost of prescription drugs, and increase access to preventative care by fully funding our community health centers. To ensure our system remains strong, I will also invest in educating the next generation of medical professionals who keep our communities healthy. Immigration At the State Capitol, I will ensure our laws respect the legal process for seeking asylum, distinguishing it from illegal crossings. Taxes / Budget We deserve an economy that values workers. For too long, corporations have put shareholder value before the livelihoods of workers and their communities. The system is rigged, and I’m running to fix it. Working people deserve to afford groceries, housing, and essential living expenses. Immigration I will create a secure and humane immigration system. This means strengthening our legal ports of entry with state resources to stop drug and human trafficking, while also promoting legal pathways to citizenship.
