1301 W Lambert Ln, Apt 4302, Oro Valley, AZ 85737.<br />
(Mail: PO Box 90948, Tucson, AZ 85752)<br />
<strong>Age:</strong> 29. (10/28/82, Tucson, AZ). </p>
<p><strong>Arizona since:</strong> Birth. </p>
<p><strong>Occupation:</strong> Economist and financial consultant, 2510 Consulting, LLC, since 2009. </p>
<p><strong>Marital:</strong> Engaged. </p>
<p><strong>Religious preference:</strong> Jewish. </p>
<p><strong>Education:</strong> M.A., economics, George Mason University, 2009; B.A., cum laude, political economy, Tulane University, 2005; St. Gregory College Preparatory School, 2001. </p>
<p><strong>Political experience:</strong> Manager, Jesse Kelly for Congress, 2010. </p>
<p><strong>Memberships:</strong> NFIB; Marana Chamber of Commerce; Goldwater Institute; NRA; AZCDL; volunteer, Junior Achievement; member, Congregation Anshei Israel/Young Leadership; bd member, Republican Jewish Coalition. </p>
<p><strong>Interests:</strong> Photography, fishing, cooking, travel.  </p>
<p><strong>Political influence:</strong> My parents taught me about the importance of liberty and the value that comes from hard work and service to one&#8217;s community. </p>
<p><strong>Job creation measures:</strong> We must reduce taxes and reduce burdensome regulations placed upon job creators. We must be looking for common sense solutions in order to foster long term economic growth. </p>
<p><strong>Top Issues:</strong> We must continue to stand up to an overreaching federal government so as to fully realize the potential of the State of Arizona, and we must ensure that our education system is the most competitive in the entire nation. </p>
<p><strong>Prop 100 sales tax extension:</strong> No. I believe that making the costs of goods and services more expensive only hurts consumers who are already struggling to pay their bills. We should reduce taxes in order to lower the cost of doing business, thereby lowering the costs of goods and services to consumers and growing the economy. </p>
<p><strong>Illegal immigration:</strong> The primary role of government is to defend the safety and liberty of its citizens, and the federal government has failed to do that on our southern border. We must continue to stand up and protect the citizens of Arizona by passing common sense legislation such as SB1070. I am proud to have been endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio. </p>
<p><strong>Background &amp; experience:</strong> I hold a master in economics, and I work in finance. I understand what it means to bring about long term economic stability to my clients, and I will do the same to the people of Arizona. I was born and raised here, so I understand the needs of Arizona&#8217;s citizens. Finally, as a small business owner, I understand the needs of the business community so as to create jobs and grow the economy. </p>
<p><strong>Pro-life / pro-choice:</strong> I am 100% pro-life. </p>
<p><strong>One last thing:</strong> I have a true and unyielding passion for liberty and free market capitalism. </p>
<p><strong>Campaign finance:</strong> private.</p>

<strong>Age:</strong> 36. (06/04/76, Detroit, MI).</p>

<p><strong>Interests:</strong> God, family, politics, sports and entertainment.</p>
<p><strong>Political influence:</strong> George Washington.</p>
<p><strong> Job creation measures: </strong> Continue to support and vote for legislation like the ‘Jobs Bill’ we passed in 2011 (because of legislation like this, Arizona has moved from nearly last in the nation in job growth to top five in the nation and is #1 in business start-ups). Remove government road blocks and regulations on businesses and continue to lower business property taxes.</p>
<p><strong>Top Issues:</strong> Continue to help put more Arizonans back to work and continue to help secure our border.</p>
<p><strong>Prop 100 sales tax extension:</strong> No. I do not support new (and in this case permanent) taxes.</p>
<p><strong>Illegal immigration:</strong> Properly secure our border with additional law enforcement, fencing, and technology all while enforcing interior laws like SB 1070.</p>
<p><strong>Background &amp; experience:</strong> I believe I have a strong moral compass and that my combined education, real-world business experience, and my political knowledge, are areas that have helped me in the Legislature.</p>
<p><strong>Pro-life / pro-choice:</strong> I am 100% pro-life.</p>
<p><strong>One last thing:</strong> I stand for God, family, and country and will always continue to do so.</p>
<p><strong>Campaign Finance:</strong> private.</p>
