I am committed to making Greater Arizona home to a revived middle class by making the creation of good-paying local jobs my top priority. |

Honoring our Veterans For years, I have kept a quote on my desk that was given to me by a veteran. It reads, “Because they have already paid the price, fight for veterans with all your might.” The heroic sacrifices our fighting men and women have made for our country must be honored with our unfailing support of veterans benefits and veterans' programs like job placement, health care, and education. I pledge to continue to serve and fight for our veterans each and every day. |
