I honestly believe that we are Arizonans and Americans first, not merely advocates for our respective political parties. ”

I ran for public office to do something good. ”

Our teachers are valuable, and our public policy should reflect that. ”

Arizona has three of the top 10 public high schools in the nation. We know how to educate a child. We just need to do it more often in more locations, and where we're having issues are in low-income areas where - where kids don't have a parent that cares or two parents that care, and, of course, also in our tribal nations. ”

I've visited schools all across our state, and the message is clear. Our kids have needs today, and our educators need more resources to do their jobs. ”

We all should be concerned if our kids don't know who Sandra Day O'Connor, John Adams, and Ronald Reagan are. ”

The American people overwhelmingly oppose taxpayer funding of abortions, and it's no different in Arizona, where we have long-standing policy against subsidizing them with public dollars. ”

Earning a certificate or degree, or both, after high school opens the door to countless economic opportunities. ”

I strongly believe that more money needs to be spent in the classroom. ”

I enjoy being out; I like being around people, but at a certain point in time, I kind of run out of charming, and I'm ready to go home, and I'm very comfortable alone. ”
