Political influence: Sandra Day O’Connor was the first woman in the United States to serve as majority leader in a state senate and the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court. In both those capacities, she set the standard for working together with people of vastly different points of view to resolve issues in a way that could benefit everyone.
Job creation measures: Job creation in Arizona can be encouraged by supporting local Arizona businesses. Additionally, a highly qualified workforce, graduates of a quality education system, will require quality jobs in Arizona.
Top issues: The Arizona Legislature needs to concentrate on creating quality jobs in Arizona and on funding a quality education system, pre-K through university.
Prop 100 sales tax extension: When the current state Legislature slashed public education funding so dramatically, it forced voters to fund quality education and jobs by extending a temporary sales tax increase.
Illegal immigration: Arizona needs to work with the federal government to implement comprehensive, sensible immigration reform that will move Arizona forward.
Campaign Finance: private.
