Abortion restrictions target, deceive families
The constitutional right to abortion is hanging on by a thread, with the Supreme Court considering a case that directly challenges Roe v. Wade. Here in Arizona, where I provide abortion care, a recently enacted anti-choice law only adds insult to injury.
Addressing Arizona’s workforce crisis
My Future AZ is a great start to solving our workforce issues, but there is so much more work to do. When we can ensure that every middle schooler in our state has access to robust career development resources, no matter their location, background, or personal interests, we’ll be laying the groundwork to preserve Arizona’s reputation as best for business.

Legislature proper place for energy policy
The Legislature is also a more transparent and approachable body than the Corporation Commission. Any proposed energy policies would be vetted by numerous committees between the two legislative chambers, with ample opportunity for comments from the public. Indeed, vigorous debate at the Capitol ensures better policy for all Arizonans.
Proposed energy rules would strengthen state’s competitive edge
The fact is that modern businesses do not consider investment in states that do not provide access to ample clean energy options. These rules, if adopted, will strengthen Arizona’s competitive advantage over its neighbors, keep energy costs low and predictable, and provide the long-term regulatory and market certainty businesses and utilities need.
