When I was in the Arizona House, I spent days at the Department of Revenue so I could better understand the budget. I drove around in cars with social workers visiting families with crack babies so I could get a first-hand understanding of their roles, their needs and the issues they face.  That helped me know what demands were real and what functions could be improved, done elsewhere or abandoned.

I will do the same thing in Pima County: Dissect the budget, functions, spending and operations to understand what is needed, what isn’t and what could be done better. I will do so with the expertise and experience gained not only in the Legislature but also as a successful entrepreneur who built my own business from scratch and was responsible for making sure everything worked efficiently and cost-effectively.  No one else running for Pima County supervisor has that in their portfolio.

Voting for good government requires more than comparing campaign slogans. It also requires looking at the candidates' records. I have a sound record of fighting for good government.

I have been a champion of small government, fiscal responsibility, economic growth, and individual freedoms.  I fought to keep politicians from taking Arizona road money and using it for other projects.  As part of the Republican team, we brought fiscal sanity and a balanced budget back to Arizona government.  And, in what is probably the worst economic downturn in our nation’s history since the Great Depression, I brought jobs to Southern Arizona.
