Occupation: Community Development
Member Since: 2012

Leadership, Experience, and Integrity; it is an honor to take ideas from Southern Arizona to the State House of Representatives because that is what Arizona needs; a little common sense and straight from the heart.

Serving my fourth term as your Arizona State Representative for Legislative District 2, I am known for my work with the local stakeholders, school boards and business partners to bring together successful opportunities for growth and education.

I believe in creating opportunities and prosperity by supporting and encouraging public education and economic development efforts. I will continue to work diligently to protect Arizona’s unique environment and to protect our most vulnerable.

Most importantly, I believe in serving my community by volunteering my time and skills for various boards and organizations. I serve on the Guadalupana Lab School Board, Friends of the Green Valley Library, the Southeast Arizona Advisory Board of the Chicanos Por La Causa, Advisory Council of the Green Valley Salvation Army, and the Southeast Arizona Citizens Forum Board of the International Boundary Water Commission.

Together we have been successful in bringing together the collective energy and leadership necessary to shape the future of our State, by advocating for public education, economic development, and water sustainability.
