OTHER INFORMATION
Candidate is a member of the Arizona Freedom Caucus.
From a Facebook post on August 21, 2020, in support of LGTB.
Voted in favor of SB 1628, known as the "Arizona Women’s Bill of Rights." The bill defines a person’s “sex” as his or her biological sex – male or female for all purposes of state law. In addition, it defines sex-based terms like “woman,” “girl,” “man,” “boy,” “mother,” and “father.” It protects women’s and girls’ safety and privacy by preserving single-sex spaces.
