I have lived and worked in Arizona most of my life. I was born in Tucson and come from a hardworking blue collar family. I have seen up's and down's like many of my fellow citizens. I have worked in agriculture and labor jobs most of my life. Some of my best memories are of riding horses, dirt bikes baseball and family dinners. I was raised to respect all people and do my part to make the world a bit easier and better for myself and others around me. I am now a single parent and live in a rural small town. I have traveled the world and focused on agricultural imports as a means to create jobs and provide for my small family. I am a Catholic and hold my beliefs close to my heart. I will never impose my beliefs on others. I am running for office to represent the people of our district not dictate how one should live. I see the division of both sides in politics. I have faith in people of Arizona. We can and will choose a person who has had the same hardships and triumphs as us. We can bring back civility to politics. Arizonian's have a special gift of noticing a person's or media's predetermined narrative and making the right choice, this is why I believe I am the best candidate that will be a true representative of our district. I have hiked and worked all over our district and own land across our great state. I want to do my part to help heal our country while preserving our best past times for future generations.
- I am going to do everything in my power to increase the quality of life for the people of our district. I do not want one person in our district to worry about water, roads and unstoppable fires. We need to work hard to make our district more money, jobs and create a safe environment for ourselves and our children.
- I will never infringe on ones rights, I believe if someone is infringing on the first amendment rights it's only a matter of time before they come after the second amendment.
- I believe a person has the right to choose how they live, eat, sleep and drink. I do not believe in lawmakers making choices that a doctor should make.
I am passionate about not telling one how to live and how to act. I believe we all come from different backgrounds and no matter how one lives they have unique qualities that contribute to our society. I believe government has no right to micromanage citizens and or to guide the people with a predetermined narrative.
I look up to many people during different times of my life. I will be happy if I turn out to be like my father was. Strong and always willing to pull over and help a person out.
Sanctuary of the Chosen
Book by Dave Hunt
Empathy, ability to read, being understanding of all people even if you do not agree.
I am a man of the people and I truly understand how challenging life can be and how hard it is to overcome difficult times. I will represent the interests of all the people of our district because I have lived and walked in their shoes.
Fulfilling the promise's made to the people who elected them.
Unity over division, a new chapter for regular people to become involved in politics. Change from a two party deadlock.
9/11 I was 15 years old and remember how the world changed. I remember how we all were scared and in shock. I also remember the aftermath and patoric pride of every American after. Everyone had flags flying and we all swore this can never happen again.
Lab tech for skyline laboratory. I held this job for a few years.
I read a lot of books so it would be a long list. I love the harry Potter books, I love lord of the rings and books like it because I feel like it takes my imagination to a place I could never achieve by reading non fiction books but I love any good story.
The letter of the day by sesame street is stuck in my head because my son is 7 but my last song I listened to is country roads by John Denver.
Rasing a child by myself. Just doing small tasks can become difficult. Finding work around being a full time parent but still being able to put food on the table. The most amazing, rewarding thing one can do is having a child but it is very difficult alone.
The short term limits and constant pulse on the people of America is what make the house of representatives such an amazing institution.
No, I believe we are lacking new ideas and people with no government background are more beneficial to the evolution of our political systems.
Overcoming the challenges of new technology and humans being replaced in the work force. We need to always be thinking, if a job is lost or changed from evolving technology how can we create different jobs to keep the status quo. I also believe we will always have a target on us for being a free people and we need to become more united in order to protect ourselves from outside influence.
Yes, Our founding fathers understood that the house is close to the people and the Senate is the steady hand.
I believe in term limits for all government officials. I think term length is different then term limits. One should serve the people not make a career of one position.
There are so many but as a person born and raised in Arizona I have always respected John McCain.
I met a person from the navajo nation years back that was walking 20 miles to the store to get his baby sister some formula and water. This made me understand the difficult tasks many face in rural areas and food desert's, especially those on or around the reservations.
The opposite of “pro” is “con,” so the opposite of progress is … Congress
I do believe that in order to get work done we have to always be willing to compromise. we also need to make sure it reflects who we represent.
We I can see how many politicians would use this to benefit the interests of the district they represent but I do not believe we need the same old politics. I would do what's right for our district first and fulfill the job I am elected to do with no strings attached.
I believe house investigations should only be done if it has direct impacts on the house itself.
