Collapse all
|As the 2021 National Legislator of the Year, founding chairman of the Arizona Freedom Caucus, a 100% rated constitutional conservative legislator, champion of the family and taxpayers, A+ defender of the Second Amendment, and fierce advocate for the freedom, opportunity, and prosperity that exists in Arizona, my constituents can have confidence that I'll always fight for them.
At the Capitol I have been hard at work to secure our elections, authoring legislation to ban the private funding of elections, prohibit the mass mailing of ballots to voters who didn’t request it, and require proof of citizenship to register to vote. I’ve fought to protect children from sexually explicit materials being used in our schools and to ensure that not one penny of your tax dollars go toward the teaching of Critical Race Theory. I’ve stood up to COVID tyranny by protecting small businesses from rogue government agencies and by banning any Arizona government from requiring a COVID vaccine.
God has blessed me with an incredible wife and 5 wonderful children. Simply put, I refuse to sit on the sidelines while radical leftists try to strip our children of the liberties, opportunities, and freedom our Constitution guarantees them. Freedom must win.
- I'm a proven, constitutional conservative.
- I always make decisions prayerfully, in accordance with the Constitution, and in the best interest of the people I represent.
- There is no one that will fight harder than me to keep government limited and accountable to you.
The threats facing Arizonans and Americans today are existential and numerous. I believe that we must raise up a new crop of conservative, America first legislators who understand they must be willing to educate themselves on all areas of public policy, so that they can combat these threats as they appear. We are in a battle of good vs. evil. A battle of right vs. wrong. A battle of self determination vs. authoritarian big government control.
In our compound Republic, the several states created the federal government, yet today state legislatures have forgotten their true power. Legislators must reclaim their rightful authority under our divinely established form of government and reassert their control over the federal government. Electing legislators who understand the importance of states' power is the only way we will return our great nation to the shining city upon the hill that President Reagan so often spoke of.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
