Arizona Secretary of State

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Certified Elections Officer in the State of Arizona and have served in that office under two Secretaries of State. I have served as Senior Policy Advisor to our state legislative committees on elections, I built a non profit Voter Reference Foundation, dedicated to voter roll cleanup, and I was Chair of the AZ Republican Party in 2024-2025, also serving as the Chair of the RNC Committee on Election Integrity.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

We need transparency in all aspects of our Elections process, from voter registration through canvassing the election and certifying results.The AZ SOS needs accountability. When systems or processes fail, the Secretary needs to own the failure, identify the cause and act with transparency to address the issue going forward.Competence is lacking in the AZ SOS office and it shows. Systems fail, zero accountability is taken. The office is effectively closed to the public providing no transparency. The public has lost confidence in the office, we need to restore competence to restore trust,

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Election administration, voter registration, campaign finance, initiative, referenda reform.
