Platforms:
- Education: A strong educational system means higher pay for teachers plus investment in facilities and those who administer and maintain those facilities.
- Economic Development: Our goal should be to create an environment that develops, retains, and attracts high-skilled workers to Arizona. We need to understand that workers want safety, education, childcare, housing, healthcare, and acceptance.
- Environment: We are facing a water crisis as several states battle for control of rare water sources. We must come together and find solutions to our water shortage. We must also address the continuing, looming threat of climate change, which threatens us with drought, wildfires, and unpredictable weather.
