An Easy Choice for Arizona’s Future – Why Debate a Clear Winner?
We must compete to bring businesses and jobs to the state to create more opportunity for the state’s residents, create a higher standard of living, grow demand for small and local businesses already here, and generally better the economic lives of the people of Arizona. We should not let politics hurt the economy of the state.
Legislature must prevent lack of transparency, overreach of licensing boards
When SB1233 comes up for a vote on the Senate Floor I will proudly cast a vote in favor and I suspect I will have members from both sides of the aisle aiding its passage.
It’s time for a new direction in sexual offense policy
At a time when the American Law Institute, virtually all available research and a growing body of public and professional opinion reflects the reality that our current sexual offense policies do not work, it is important for Arizona to take a new direction.
Psilocybin can break the cycle of ‘token’ mental health care
We have a right to medicines that are proven to improve these illnesses. Furthering that belief, we drafted SB1570, which allows the use of psilocybin in clinical settings under the supervision of medical professionals. We ask that you join us in changing this token system of care into one that provides real relief to those struggling with a mental health condition.
Arizona Legislators should seize an opportunity to transform state’s prisons
The Legislature is on the cusp of putting another feather in its cap of bipartisan criminal justice reform achievements. We should laud their progress and keep up the momentum of transformational change.
Criminalizing deepfakes will censor political speech
Serving a hard time for spoofing a politician is draconian. The Arizona legislature should have found a middle ground. Otherwise, this law restricts free expression. There is nothing more un-American than censoring criticism of politicians. The fear of emerging technologies is no excuse to trample free speech.
We must pass Defend the Guard Act into law
I have witnessed the same overwhelming support for this legislation from my own constituents, and every Senate Republican will tell you the same. I am determined to see SB1121 become law, for our federal government to rein in its endless wars abroad, and for Arizona to become the first state to defend the integrity of our National Guard.
Legislators must protect women in Arizona
As we recognize Cancer Prevention Month, it’s important that our lawmakers in Arizona realize they can act right now to protect women. You, too, can join the fight as the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) hosts ‘Cancer Action Day’ on March 14 at the Arizona State Capitol. Cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers from across the state will meet with legislators and urg[...]
Reform water law to include the environment
Our current water laws and policies are unsustainable for the future. We see a small amount of potential progress, but most of the current legislative proposals further weaken water management. Much more needs to be done to achieve a sustainable water supply and to protect our rivers. Our economy, our well-being, and our wildlife depend on a healthy environment, which includes rivers and springs.
Mines exporting to China threaten Arizona’s water
The real issue isn’t foreign demands for commodities that use Arizona’s scarce water. It is that large multi-national companies are receiving special, subsidized treatment to extract scarce resources that could be better used by current and future Arizonans.
Let’s not celebrate Black History Month without talking mental health
It would be a disservice to highlight Black History Month without also shedding light on the mental health crisis that continues to disproportionately impact minority communities, especially African Americans.
LGBTQ youth represent disproportionate number of homeless
The Legislature must begin to create and pass legislation that is specifically focused on alleviating issues faced by homeless youth, specifically LGBTQ homeless youth. They must also attempt to address the root causes that lead to such a disproportionate amount of queer youth living on the street.
