Service • Accountability • Opportunity • Arizona First
In the military, we learned that security requires a clear strategy and the resources to back it up. The border should be treated as a national security priority, not a political talking point. I support a bipartisan, common-sense approach that pairs strong enforcement with a commitment to human dignity.
My priorities:
-
Secure the Front Lines: Ensure Border Patrol has the technology, infrastructure, and staffing to maintain operational control and stop illegal crossings and fentanyl before they reach LD9 neighborhoods.
-
Target Criminal Networks: Crack down on transnational criminal organizations and human smugglers who exploit vulnerable people and threaten public safety.
-
Fix the System: Streamline the legal process so those who follow the rules are rewarded, and those who break the law face swift consequences.
We can be a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. I will work across the aisle and with federal partners so Arizona is not left to handle a federal crisis alone.
Secure Borders, Human Dignity
The reason I’m running for State Representative is simple, to uphold the oath I took as a soldier to support and defend the Constitution. For me, that oath was never a formality. As a combat-wounded veteran, I’ve sacrificed for the rights we often take for granted. I’m running to protect the freedoms of every family in LD9 and ensure Arizona’s laws reflect the will of the people while staying faithful to our founding principles.
My commitment to your rights:
-
Second Amendment: Protect the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
-
Fair and Free Elections: Support election integrity that makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat, with transparency and secure results.
-
Free Speech: Defend the First Amendment and oppose censorship or government overreach, online or in public.
-
Privacy and Property Rights: Push back on warrantless surveillance and regulatory takings that threaten your home, your land, and your data.
-
Checks and Balances: Restore the balance of power by holding government accountable and stopping executive overreach.
I defended our Constitution overseas, and I’m ready to defend it at the State Capitol.
Defending the Constitution: An Oath That Never Expires
Public safety starts with supporting the men and women who wear the uniform, and holding the system to clear standards. As a combat-wounded veteran, I know high-stakes service requires two things, strong leadership support and personal accountability. I’m running to ensure LD9 has the resources to stay safe, and a culture of integrity the public can trust.
My plan for public safety:
-
Fund the Front Lines: Fight for competitive pay, modern equipment, and staffing so officers can do their jobs safely and effectively.
-
Excellence Through Training: Expand training for de-escalation and mental health crisis response, so officers are prepared for real-world scenarios.
-
Veteran-to-Officer Pipeline: Support programs that help veterans transition into local law enforcement with the discipline, restraint, and experience to serve well.
-
Accountability as a Standard: Back transparency and clear accountability systems that build public trust and strengthen safety for officers and residents.
-
Veterans Response Teams: Work to create veteran support teams that assist during calls involving fellow veterans in crisis, pairing experience with empathy.
Support for those who serve. Accountability to the public. Results for LD9.
Law Enforcement: Professionalism, Support, and Accountability
LD9 should remain one of the best places in Arizona to start a business and raise a family. In the military, we learned that no mission succeeds without proper training and the right resources. I want to build a stronger pipeline from the classroom to the workforce, so local businesses can grow and students can graduate ready to succeed.
For small businesses and entrepreneurs:
-
Cut the Red Tape: Streamline licensing and reduce hidden regulatory fees that punish local entrepreneurs.
-
Access to Capital: Support micro-loans and state-backed credit options that help Main Street businesses scale.
-
Local-First Procurement: Fight to keep more government contracts with businesses here in LD9, so our tax dollars stay in our community.
For a stronger education system:
-
Workforce-Ready Classrooms: Expand Career and Technical Education and dual enrollment tied to high-demand careers.
-
Teacher Recruitment and Retention: Support practical solutions that help great teachers afford to live where they teach.
-
Early Childhood Education: Push for affordable childcare and Pre K options that support working families.
-
Accountability for Every Dollar: Ensure education funding is transparent, efficient, and focused on results like literacy and math proficiency.
Investing in minds grows our economy. I’m ready to help LD9 build that path to success.
