Elections law is simply voter suppression
SB1485, which our governor signed as quickly as possible, to avoid voter contact, which he knows is objectionable, is voter suppression pure and simple. Other words are just distractions to this fact. Voters know this and will act.
Time to restore fairness in the App marketplace
As this issue heats up, Arizona’s congressional delegation should help ensure fairness for app developers of all sizes by addressing some of the more flagrant anti-competitive restrictions and regulations that Apple uses to maintain its dominance in the marketplace. Doing so would help spur innovation and drive growth across the tech sector.
Electricity grid not ready for EV revolution
California’s rolling blackouts last year, followed by the Texas grid catastrophe in February — and now the threat of blackouts across the Western U.S. this summer — are a wakeup call. We need a grid we can count on. Ensuring we do means properly valuing the dispatchable, reliable generating capacity we already have.
PRO Act hurts workers, threatens economic recovery
All the PRO Act would do is help union leaders increase membership numbers by infringing on the rights of employees as well as employers. Taking away employee choice on whether to join a union, how much a union takes out of their paycheck, what happens to their private data, and whether they even have a job is not the answer.
Where Arizonans agree, leaders should follow
Seven in ten Arizonans are proud to call this state home. And three in four Arizonans are willing to speak with others who hold different views in order to work through issues. This is a wonderful foundation on which to come together to create change.
Biden’s infrastructure goals a power grab
Real infrastructure doesn’t take years to build. As many European governments (and more recently China, much to our detriment) have demonstrated, infrastructure can be built in months, weeks or even days.
How re-entry program gave me tools to succeed
As the Arizona state government completes their annual budget, I write to encourage them to support programs that help men and women successfully re-enter society after having completed a prison term.
Modest proposal to protect citizen rights to petition
Anyone who's been involved with an Arizona petition drive for a constitutional amendment, initiative or referendum might very well say that the “right of petition” has already been abridged.
Arizonans deserve better budget after difficult year
Budgets are moral documents. They show what we value and prioritize as a state. Both of us stand ready to work together with our legislative colleagues and the Governor on a responsible budget that puts all Arizonans first.
Grand Canyon U. launches partnership to help needy
I get excited about a lot of things that are happening at Grand Canyon University, but I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as I am about the potential of our new partnership with CityServe.
New election bill could make criminals out of voters
If this bill passes, any absentee voter in Arizona who signs their ballot sloppily and fails to fix the error after Election Day could find themselves caught up in a criminal investigation. This would be a discriminatory burden on senior citizens, disabled voters, students, and people of color.
Don’t California my Arizona livelihood
The PRO Act is a solution in search of a problem. Independent workers and freelancers are not asking to be full-time employees. When they were reclassified as such in California, they overwhelmingly voted to opt out and create a third way that preserved their independence and flexibility. Let’s heed their example and don’t “California'' the rest of the nation.
