“We must repeal the universal voucher program, pay teachers and staff a fair wage, and support our students' mental health. We must once again prioritize public education in our state. Our legislature is one of the only guardrails to this injustice.”
(Campaign website) “Healthcare is a human right, and providing that care is the responsibility of the government. Healthcare on Tribal lands is mandated by treaties and we must respect those treaties. Additionally, let us expand on that idea. Healthcare should be a right for everyone.”

Farms & rural: “In addition to the policies above and environmental protections including "forever chemical" testing of farmland and rural food access, I believe we need to improve our system of government so Arizonans who do not share the same letter next to their representative's name (Dem, Rep, etc.) are not left voiceless.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) The Platform: “Our government for decades has kept our education system near-last in the nation, restricted workers’ right to organize, limited towns’ tools to fight the housing crisis, undermined efforts to better choose our representatives in government, and has drastically increased surveillance of everyday citizens.”
