Criminal Justice / Public Safety

We need to root out racial discrimination in the system and have humane standards for prisoners. We can no longer tolerate incarceration for children and teen abuses of minor offenses or school related offenses. We need to address that time spent in jail/prison means they paid their debt to society. They deserve rehabilitation and not further punishment. Furthermore, they should not have to pay fees to be able to vote. Learn more

First things first - we must decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. The failed War on Drugs policy unfairly targets minorities, imprisons non-violent offenders, and increases unemployment. Learn more

Defense / Veterans

I am tired of the government not respecting Veterans and not providing the resources so many Veterans need. I will fight to ensure the VA hospitals provides exceptional healthcare and other services. The VA hospitals need nurses and doctors, among other staff, to be compensated fairly so that veterans get the care they need. Learn more

Drug Policy

First things first - we must decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. The failed War on Drugs policy unfairly targets minorities, imprisons non-violent offenders, and increases unemployment. ​ I would vote "yes" to legalize recreational marijuana in my state; it would benefit Arizona's schools and infrastructure. I will fight for states to be able to opt to legalize recreational marijuana. Medicinal marijuana should be legal across the board. Learn more

Economy

It is imperative that our country has a free, fair, and open internet for our citizens. Net neutrality is freedom; and we cannot take this freedom away from people. The Internet is an extraordinary tool for learning and it is lucrative for our growing economy. ​ Our rural areas must have access to the internet. In addition, the internet should be be easily accessible, whether you are poor or rich. Learn more

Education

Teachers deserve professional wages and to have healthcare benefits​ so they can focus on their classrooms. We will have more teachers who can have smaller class sizes to focus on each child. We also must protect our kids by providing mental health professionals in schools and educating our youth about mental health. Learn more

Environment / Energy

We must take action now to ensure a healthy environment for future generations. ​ I support clean energies like wind and solar. I will do everything I can to incentivize clean energy companies and take efforts to provide a cleaner future. Learn more

Guns

I am a gun owner and believe in upholding our second amendment. We need common sense gun reform, however. Let me be clear: I want responsible gun owners to keep their guns. ​ I will work hard to keep our communities safer and keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. Learn more

Healthcare

As a Registered Nurse, I care deeply about healthcare. ​ Healthcare is a right and we need to ensure we have a healthy society. Taking on the pharmaceutical companies is a priority to lower drug costs and we must do more so every citizen has coverage they can afford. Learn more

Immigration

Our border security officials deserve better living and working conditions. We need to make the path to citizenship understandable and less intimidating so people are incentivized to come out of the shadows. We must reform our immigration laws and come together to find the best solutions to our changing economy. Once immigration laws are reformed, we must follow through and enforce the law. Learn more

Social Services

We must protect Social Security for our seniors now and for future generations. I promise to fight to ensure that Social Security is not privatized. Learn more
