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?

I will work endlessly to support and sponsor legislation to advance the needs of Arizona Working Families.Public education is our most powerful weapon and the legislature must stop their repeated attacks on public education.Access to reproductive health is a key component of quality healthcare. I will push for a State Constitutional Amendment to guarantee an individuals right to choose. Abortion is a Human Right.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education: I believe the legislature should stop their repeated attacks on public education; increase revenues allocated to improve daily maintenance and operations of our schools.

Wages: Arizonans need quality paying jobs that provide upward mobility. I will advocate for better healthcare, safe working environment, union development and the right to organize.

Environment: Arizona’s clean air and sustainable water crises are priorities for our district, state, and the nation. I will be a strong advocate for policies that achieve water sustainability and groundwater management.

Housing: Home prices and rent have increased due to a combination of increased land costs, growing labor costs, supply chain shortages, and zoning approvals for apartments and affordable housing - all of which must be addressed through both private and public efforts.

Healthcare: I fight for every Arizonan to have quality, accessible and affordable health care. I will work to protect reproductive rights, children's health care, and expand funding and access for behavioral and mental health.

Diversity & Equity: I plan to review and repeal existing or proposed discrimination statutes to ensure protection of our treasured, and often hard-won, civil rights. We must address decades of systematic mistreatment of people of color (Asian Americans, Black, Hispanics/Latinos and Indigenous Americans) in Arizona.
