Question	Response
1. Arizona’s public education system allows students to attend a local district school, charter school, virtual school, or through school district open enrollment. Do you support a parent's right to choose the best public school, in their judgment, for their children?	Strongly support
2. What are your priorities as a lawmaker? [Economic Development]	Highest Priority
3. What are your priorities as a lawmaker? [Education]	Highest Priority
4. What are your priorities as a lawmaker? [Environment and Public Land Issues]	Highest Priority
5. What are your priorities as a lawmaker? [Health Care]	Highest Priority
6. What are your priorities as a lawmaker? [Sentencing Reform]	Priority
7. What are your priorities as a lawmaker? [Transportation]	Priority
8. Charter schools are public schools that are operated by private contractors to provide education service - similar to other state contractors for health care, transportation, and other services. Do you support charter schools in Arizona?	Yes
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?	I would like to see Arizona's economy reopened in it's entirety. Many small businesses have suffered due to being shuttered, while large corporate businesses have remained open. Small business and entrepreneurship is the life's blood of America. Too many graduates from our Universities are moving elsewhere instead of remaining in Arizona. We need to re-evaluate how we do business to attract new industry, and make Arizona more attractive to companies seeking to move or expand.
10. School districts and charter schools are public schools; do you support equitable funding for all public school students?	Yes
11. Do you support tax reform?	Yes
12. What are your ideas for tax reform that would improve our state's economy?	The State has lost a substantial amount of revenue due to the Covid-19 pandemic. An increase in taxation becomes an additional burden on the citizens of Arizona that are already struggling. I feel that lower small business and corporate taxes will stimulate the economy by providing more jobs, higher wages, and greater investment.
13. Do you support efforts to reform Arizona’s regulatory boards and commissions?	Yes
14. What is the greatest challenge facing Arizona today?	Arizona's greatest challenge today is economic recovery due to Covid-19. We must re-open our small businesses, and put our citizens back to work. We need to jumpstart our economy with special tax incentives and explore new programs that can help our small businesses recover from this tragedy. America was built on the backs of small businesses, the spirit of innovation, and entrepreneurship.
