In Their Words
What they have said, on the record

“Arizonans want a secure border, and so I talked to law enforcement, especially in border communities.”
“This is not a Republican or Democratic issue,”
“At a time when too many politicians are focused on partisan politics, Arizona deserves a lieutenant governor who shares my commitment to putting Arizona first and delivering real results,”
“I'm thrilled to sign the bipartisan Arizona First budget into law,”
“It's time we make the booming data center industry work for the people of our state, rather than the other way around.”
