“Let's fully fund public education instead of wasting $1 billion+ on universal vouchers! • Renters and first-time home owners deserve safe, sustainable and affordable housing options! • Our water is the greatest resource we have, we must defend it from data centers and mining projects. Not only do these corporations contaminate our natural resources, they also make us pay for it by increasing our utility bills!”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) “I am personally very passionate about increasing the influence of unionized workers and tenants in our state. Our right-to-work laws make it difficult for unions to make headway in building power to affect negotiations, and public workers are not allowed to enter collective bargaining agreements.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) “Arizona's greatest challenge over the next decade will be balancing the budget while maintaining critical services like education and healthcare. It will be difficult to reinstate a progressive tax system, and we will need a strong, progressive front to make headway on critical issues like affordable housing, healthcare access, public education and water protections.”
