9. Please share what your priorities will be as a state lawmaker to strengthen Arizona’s workforce and economy so that all Arizonans have better opportunities to move up the economic ladder?	It’s funny that you mention ladder. When I speak to students at schools, I describe it as climbing a ladder. Taking the next step up.

We do this by keeping taxes low, regulations simple and effective meanwhile providing communities with adequate healthcare options and educational opportunities.
