Election Integrity is a key issue in this upcoming election. We must ensure that our elections are free and fair. One day, one vote, voter ID for ALL ballots, no drop boxes, and eliminating the opportunity for fraud needs to happen, so that our sacred right to vote is assured.Our public education system is broken. CRT, extreme sexuality, and indoctrination is taking over our children's schools. The money must follow the child to ensure success is possible for EVERY child.Medical Freedom has become extremely important. We must have a say regarding ALL medical decisions and treatments. If we lose our autonomy over our medical decisions, or those of our children, what more is there for the government to take?re truly facing

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The Second Amendment, pro-life, low taxes, medical freedom, small government, school choice, and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all AZ citizens!
