Environment / Energy I will fight to keep these plants running or make sure there are other power plants in the same area that will be built to replace them. We cannot afford to lose jobs and our power as we will end up like California and rely on other states to provide us the power. This will cost us more to run the electricity at our homes and businesses. I will propose we build more, and be the supplier for California which will allow Arizona to build additional revenue for our state. Education We have seen in the State of Arizona a big push for Critical Race Theory to be taught at our schools. I will fight to ban this and if any schools do allow this, our funding to them will be stopped. Infrastructure / Transportation Arizona highways in our rural communities are just horrible. They are degrading more and more every snow or rainstorm. I will support allocating additional funds to re-due our state highways by working with the state and local counties. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I support our law enforcement 100% and I will fight to ensure they do not get defunded here in the state of Arizona. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I support our local fire departments, as it is a struggle for them to maintain staff and provide services for our rural areas. Many of these firemen and women are paid very low and do not have any healthcare or retirements. This is due to not receiving enough funds from the state. We can’t continue to allow this to happen as they risk their live to save ours. I will seek to do an audit on where all of the funds are being routed to determine why our stations are barely getting enough to staff their stations. After that audit, we can determine any misuse of funds and re-allocate those funds properly. Civil Rights We must stop all mail-in ballots unless an individual has a qualified reason to receive one. We must remove all electronic voting machines and go back to paper ballots, cleaning up the voter registration list and require voter ID.
