| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | When I left journalism I wasn't planning to run for office at all - but immediately there was an enormous outpouring of people asking me to step up and run. And when I thought about everything that had happened and was happening in this country - with covid lockdowns and closures, unending foreign wars, an uncontrolled border and associated drug crisis, homelessness exploding out of control - I decided I just couldn't sit on the sidelines anymore, and that I had a responsibility to the people of Arizona to try to effect positive change for the future. Our problems are of our own making, both in Arizona and nationwide - and I believe deeply that with faith, commitment and conviction we can turn them around. We can secure our border, take back our schools, and refocus our government to serve We the People instead of special interests. |
| 2. Can you share the three most important issues facing your district/state, and how do you envision working collaboratively to find solutions that benefit everyone? | 1. Securing the border - as President Donald Trump proved, securing the border is a matter of political will. Left and right. This shouldn't be a left-right issue. It is a human right issue, and our security and safety are at stake. 2. Inflation & Housing - Bidenflation has ripped away the bandage on a national housing crisis that is destroying Arizona families, and is running up bills at the grocery store that no one can afford. We have to slash spending, stop printing money we don't have, and get government out of the way so we can build the new housing we need and make America affordable again. 3. Homelessness & Crime - we have to secure the border and cut off the flow of cheap fentanyl and meth that is destroying our cities and killing our people. We have to get the homeless off the streets and into treatment. And we have to restore law and order on our streets. We're not going to do any of that without working with both people on the other side of the aisle and with the folks in our own communities who are already leading these fights. |
