My family instilled in me the value of education and the importance of serving others.

As your State Senator, I’ve put those values into action—securing funding for rural schools, expanding workforce training, and delivering resources that strengthen our community. I’m running for re-election to continue that work and ensure every family in our district has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

I’m a sixth-generation Arizonan whose family became American citizens through the Gadsden Purchase—when the border crossed them. This deep-rooted history shapes my commitment to serving our rural communities and building a stronger Arizona.

Growing up in Yuma, I saw firsthand the challenges that working families face—rising costs, limited affordable housing, underfunded schools, and a lack of local education opportunities.

As your State Senator, I’ve worked to address these issues by securing funding for our schools, expanding workforce training, and advocating for policies that support families and create good-paying jobs. I’m running for re-election to continue building a stronger, more inclusive future for our district.

I know a strong Arizona economy starts with thriving families and rural communities. Together, we can protect our water, strengthen our public schools, and put our ranchers, farmers, local businesses, and working families first.

  • Education

    Pay public schools teachers and support staff competitive, living wages.

    Increase funding for vocational training and rural community colleges.

    Train our students for 21st century careers and keep Arizona’s economy growing strong through innovative, public-private partnerships with our local universities.

  • Water and Infrastructure

    Invest in safe, reliable roads and bridges to meet the needs of our farmers, ranchers, local businesses and families.

    Ensure Arizonans have a 100-year water plan by finding new sources and leveraging smart water conservation and recycling solutions.

    Bring broadband and cellular service to underserved rural communities.

  • The Economy

    Lower the cost of housing by preventing out-of-state investment firms from taking thousands of properties off the market, so families can afford to buy their own homes.

    Offer gasoline rebates to working families to combat price gouging at the fuel pump and provide drivers with lower cost, cleaner fuel options in the future.
