Environment / Energy We need to protect Arizona's ground water by updating the Groundwater Management Act. I also support wildfire management in our forests to preserve our natural spaces and keep rural Arizonans safe. Education I will also support bills that will reform and create accountability for ESA vouchers that are draining money from our public schools. I also support bills that fight child hunger by providing free school meals and ensuring full day kindergarten. Economy I will continue making Arizona a leader in biotechnology research. I also support protecting our unions and ensuring fair hiring practices. I will support bills that help attract high paying jobs for Arizonans and making Arizona an attractive destination for businesses and families. Civil Rights I promote policies that improve the well-being of everyone, not just the wealthy. I'm focused on providing affordable housing, addressing homelessness and I support policies that ensure that people feel safe in their communities. I will fight for legislation that expands equal treatment under the law for every individual. Civil Rights I'm an ardent supporter of voting rights and for fighting against election misinformation. I support our voting rights bill which will expand ballot box access in rural areas, create an automatic voter registration system, restore PEVL and protect voters and election workers from intimidation. Healthcare I will continue the fight for access to quality, affordable health care for every Arizonan. Healthcare I also support expanding KidsCare so all Arizona children have access to healthcare. Abortion / Contraception I support repealing the AZ abortion law and will vote for the Arizona Right to Abortion Initiative. I will fight to ensure access to contraception and bodily autonomy for all.
