Families across LD29—from Surprise to the West Valley—are being priced out of homeownership and rental markets by Wall Street investors and corporate landlords. In one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, housing shouldn't be a luxury. We need to put it back in reach for working families.

• Tax incentives for first-time homebuyers in rapidly growing communities
• Crack down on corporate landlords and investors driving up rents
• Increase funding for affordable housing development
• Support local communities in preventing displacement of long-time residents
• Address predatory lending and unfair eviction practices
• Ensure new development includes affordable housing commitments

As a tradesman who earned his Airframe & Powerplant license and worked as a certified airplane mechanic and machinist, I know firsthand what it means to work with your hands and fight for fair treatment on the job. Arizona's workers—union and non-union alike—deserve strong protections, living wages, and a seat at the table.

• Protect and expand the right to organize and collectively bargain
• Fight for prevailing wage standards on public projects
• Strengthen workplace safety standards and OSHA enforcement
• End wage theft and misclassification of employees as independent contractors
• Support apprenticeship programs in the skilled trades
• Ensure essential workers earn a living wage with real benefits

Arizona ranks near the bottom nationally in education funding. Our teachers are underpaid, our classrooms are overcrowded, and our students deserve better. At the same time, we're facing a critical shortage of skilled tradespeople. We need to invest in both traditional education and the trades that build Arizona.

• Competitive teacher salaries to attract and retain quality educators
• Increased funding for school infrastructure and resources
• Massively expand vocational, technical, and apprenticeship programs
• Partner with unions and trade schools to create career pathways
• Accountability for charter schools receiving public funds
• Support community colleges like Rio Salado in providing accessible education

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I watched my own mother suffer permanent brain damage because the inflated cost of medicine—driven by corporate greed—made her life-saving treatment unaffordable. No family should ever face that choice. We need comprehensive reform now.

• Expanding access to affordable healthcare for all Arizonans through AHCCCS and state programs
• Lowering prescription drug costs through state-level bulk purchasing and price transparency laws
• Protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions under Arizona law
• Increasing mental health and addiction treatment services statewide
• Expanding healthcare access in fast-growing West Valley communities
• Holding pharmaceutical companies accountable through state consumer protection laws

LD29 is one of the fastest-growing areas in Arizona. Surprise alone has grown from 30,000 to over 150,000 residents in just two decades. Massive projects like the proposed $3.2 billion BNSF logistics hub in Wittmann will reshape our communities. Growth must work for residents—not just developers.

• Ensure community input on major development projects like the BNSF Wittmann rail hub
• Expand public transit options after the elimination of WeRIDE service
• Invest in road infrastructure to keep pace with explosive population growth
• Protect existing neighborhoods from overdevelopment and industrial encroachment
• Demand environmental impact assessments for large-scale industrial projects
• Prioritize water and utility infrastructure before approving new developments

Small businesses are the backbone of Arizona's economy, but they're being squeezed by mega-corporations that dominate entire industries. From the shops along Bell Road to family farms in the West Valley, we need to level the playing field.

• Enforce antitrust laws and break up monopolies
• Provide tax relief and support for small businesses
• Expand access to capital for entrepreneurs
• Protect Main Street from Wall Street consolidation
• Support local agriculture and food producers

Arizona is on the frontlines of climate change. Wittmann has recorded temperatures of 119°F. Record heat, water scarcity, and poor air quality threaten our communities and our workers—especially those in the trades and construction who labor outdoors. We must act decisively.

• Adopt extreme heat protections for outdoor workers
• Accelerate the transition to renewable energy and good-paying green jobs
• Strengthen air quality standards to protect public health
• Invest in urban cooling infrastructure—shade, green space, and cooling centers
• Protect Arizona's groundwater and support smart water conservation
• Invest in wildfire prevention and forest management

Luke Air Force Base is right in our backyard, and thousands of veterans and military families call LD29 home. We owe them more than gratitude—we owe them real support, from healthcare to housing to good jobs when they return to civilian life.

• Expand state-funded veteran healthcare services and reduce wait times
• Increase state funding for mental health and PTSD treatment for veterans
• Support veteran employment programs and skills-to-trades pipelines
• Protect military families from predatory lending and housing scams through state regulation
• Ensure Luke Air Force Base remains a vital community partner

Arizona's border communities deserve real solutions, not political theater. As a state senator, I'll fight for practical state-level policies that support our border communities while treating people with dignity.

• Fund state border security technology and partnerships with local law enforcement
• Protect Dreamers' access to in-state tuition and state services
• Support border communities with state resources and infrastructure funding
• Ensure immigrant workers are protected by Arizona labor laws
• Oppose state legislation that promotes racial profiling or targets immigrant families

The government has no place in personal medical decisions. I will always defend the right to choose and fight against any attempts to restrict reproductive healthcare.

• Codify reproductive freedom protections into Arizona state law
• Protect access to contraception and family planning services statewide
• Ensure Arizona healthcare providers can practice without political interference
• Support comprehensive, medically accurate sex education in Arizona schools

Our democracy is being sold to the highest bidder. Arizona needs fundamental campaign finance reform at the state level to ensure every voice is heard, not just those with deep pockets.

• Strengthen Arizona's dark money disclosure laws and close loopholes
• Expand and protect Arizona's Clean Elections public financing system
• Strict limits on corporate political spending in state elections
• Full transparency in all political donations to Arizona candidates
• End the revolving door between the state legislature and lobbying firms
