City and state leaders can tackle affordable housing crisis together

In recent years, I’ve been quoted as saying, homelessness is not AN issue, it is THE issue. I encourage our legislators to partner with local community leaders to turn this around before it’s too late.

Self-driving cars will make Arizona roads safer 

As a personal injury attorney with more than 30 years of experience fighting for the rights of injured victims, I’m ready for the driverless car to put me – and others like me – out of business.

Stop Biden Administration’s failed agenda, pass Lower Energy Costs Act

In keeping with our Commitment to America, U.S. House Republicans recently passed H.R 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, which garnered bipartisan support. Designating the Lower Energy Costs Act as H.R. 1 signals that House Republicans’ number one priority is reducing the cost of gasoline and energy for American families.

We need to strengthen gun training requirements

I’m glad to hear that Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed the Legislature’s recent bad firearms bills that would have allowed parents to carry guns on school campuses and required schools to spread NRA propaganda to children.

Putting a stop to corruption in Congress 

I’m proud to recognize our own U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani, who understands the commitment to good governance. Recently Rep. Ciscomani signed on to the TRUST in Congress Act, which would ban stock trading among members of Congress.
