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?
John is running for U.S. Congress to make sure that dream stays alive for every family, every worker, and every child who needs a chance.
He understands struggle. He knows what it takes to build something from nothing. And he knows that the same principles that helped him succeed are under attack by those who want to replace American opportunity with SOCIALIST dependence.The American Dream of owning a home, building a business, raising a family, and passing down wealth to our children and grandchildren should never cease being the hope and aspiration of every American child and family.The American economy is built on entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, risk and reward, and opportunity regardless of class or zip code. For the first time in our history, this generation will not pass on greater wealth to the next generation. That is an injustice we must reverse and never allow to happen. Every young child and every bright mind must be given the opportunity to succeed. The global economy is a reality, but it can only work when the American worker and American entrepreneur is not taken advantage of.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Economic Policy, Foreign Policy, Healthcare, Immigration and Crime Prevention, AI Policy and policy regarding emerging tech
Campaign websiteTrobough's campaign website stated the following:JOHN ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTERReal World Issues. Common Sense SolutionsAFFORDABILITY & INFLATION The American family feels squeezed. When families discuss affordability—whether at the kitchen table or on the floor of the House of Representatives—what matters most is the reality they face every day. The economic policies and theories behind affordability—interest rates, tariffs, overregulation, taxes, government spending, and debt—matter less when families are concerned about the cost of eggs, coffee, meat, and other everyday goods.The reality is inflation nationwide is at 3%. In the greater Scottsdale and Phoenix area, inflation is 1.4%. As an Arizona First candidate, improving and maintaining affordability so prosperity and opportunity exist right here at home for Arizona families is my chief priority. As the next congressman for the First Congressional District, I will engage my years as a businessman to grow the American economy, compete and win in the global economy, eliminate regulations choking innovation and entrepreneurship, cut waste in government spending, and balance the budget.The American Dream of owning a home, building a business, raising a family, and passing down wealth to our children and grandchildren should never cease being the hope and aspiration of every American child and family.Grow the American EconomyEliminate Choking RegulationsBalance the BudgetNATIONAL & HOMELAND SECURITYAmerica faces serious and real threats at home and abroad from violent entities who want to destroy America, capitalism, our families, and livelihood. Nations like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran hate America and want to kill us. Drug cartels from Asia and South America continue to deploy chemical weapons in the form of drugs like fentanyl into our streets.Many criminals here illegally or given lenient sentences and early release continue to exact violence in our communities, threatening our families.We must never cower and never surrender. We must always continue to build and sustain our military dominance through innovation and resources, and fund our law enforcement with the tools and qualified brave men and women to keep America and Americans safe always.Build Military DominanceFund Law EnforcementKeep America SafeTHE AMERICAN ECONOMY & GROWTHThe American economy is built on entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, risk and reward, and opportunity regardless of class or zip code. For the first time in our history, this generation will not pass on greater wealth to the next generation. That is an injustice we must reverse and never allow to happen. Every young child and every bright mind must be given the opportunity to succeed. The global economy is a reality, but it can only work when the American worker and American entrepreneur is not taken advantage of.We must correct the trade imbalance while also not driving up the cost of goods and services for the American consumer and family. We must eliminate the barriers that choke innovation, technology, and the small businesswoman and businessman from creating jobs and growing our local and national economies. We must protect American freedom and economic opportunity.Protect American WorkersEliminate Innovation BarriersCreate Jobs & GrowthTAXES, SPENDING & REGULATIONS Our government doesn't have a revenue problem—it has a spending problem. We have too many politicians within both parties who have misguided principles and priorities. The result is a national debt and deficit that is unsustainable, driving up interest rates, slowing down innovation, and obstructing economic growth. We must get government spending under control. As a government, we must balance the budget like families balance their checkbooks. We can't continue to borrow money at an unprecedented and unsustainable rate.The America First agenda is about putting America and American priorities first. I support a Balanced Budget Amendment. And I have signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. I will always stand with the men and women, small business, industries, and taxpayer for lower taxes, less regulations, and to eliminate government greed.Balance the BudgetLower TaxesEliminate Government GreedSECOND AMENDMENT The Second Amendment is included in our Bill of Rights not by accident, but by reason. The Left would have you believe otherwise. Every American has the right to defend themselves, their family, and their property. The "right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." I am proud to be a Second Amendment patriot.Defend Constitutional RightsProtect Self-Defense RightsSecond Amendment PatriotLIFE & THE UNBORNThe most vulnerable and most innocent must be protected. I am proud to say I am 100% pro-life, and will always defend the life of the unborn and protect against attacks from those who want to undo the success of the pro-life movement and the United States Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.100% Pro-LifeDefend the UnbornProtect Against Attacks— John Trobough's campaign website (April 30, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
