  • Election Integrity is a key issue in this upcoming election. We must ensure that our elections are free and fair. One day, one vote, voter ID for ALL ballots, no drop boxes, and eliminating the opportunity for fraud needs to happen, so that our sacred right to vote is assured.
  • Our public education system is broken. CRT, extreme sexuality, and indoctrination is taking over our children's schools. The money must follow the child to ensure success is possible for EVERY child.
  • Medical Freedom has become extremely important. We must have a say regarding ALL medical decisions and treatments. If we lose our autonomy over our medical decisions, or those of our children, what more is there for the government to take?re truly facing
The Second Amendment, pro-life, low taxes, medical freedom, small government, school choice, and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all AZ citizens!

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Arizona

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
