House Member

Arizona is in an educational crisis and one of the main goals in retaining my seat in the House of Representatives is to continue to help to solve this problem. I have over 30 years of experience in education, rising from teacher to construction supervisor to consultant to School District Superintendent. Additionally I have earned a Doctorate in Education (Curriculum and Instruction), a Master of Science (Construction Management), a Master of Arts (Supervision and Administration) and a Bachelor of Arts (Vocational Education); all of which means I can relate to the struggles of the unskilled worker or the college graduate, the administrator wrestling with a budget or even the electrician trying to deal with new city codes.

I have more than a lifetime of experience in and around education and the industries that support it ; NOW is the time for me to capitalize on my experience and education to benefit the COMMUNITY.

As I already mentioned, EDUCATION is my top priority along with quality of life initiatives such as: democratic participation, access to healthcare, a safe and clean environment, living wage jobs, affordable housing and reducing mass incarceration. I would love to be a part of making Arizona Number 1 in Education, NOT Incarceration.

Most importantly, I bring honesty and integrity to the issues within my district which include: water policy, roads and infrastructure and stable employment. I currently serve on the Education, Land and Agriculture, and State and International Affairs committees in the House.
