As a Vice-Mayor with both a law degree and PhD in Arid Land Resource Sciences, I know that our State will be well served by a United States Senator whose number one priority is Arizona. My wife, Sasha, and I plan on raising a family in Arizona which means we care deeply about:
- Creating quality jobs and “green” jobs for the working families of Arizona
- Supporting and appropriately funding education for K-12 and higher education
- Bridging divides on immigration issues by working to develop reforms that are economical and humane
- Championing policies for water conservation and clean energy development
As a U.S. Air Force JAG Reserve Officer and a board member of the Pima Council on Aging, I know firsthand the importance of electing a Senator committed to:
- Fighting to protect Veteran’s benefits for the young men and women who are returning from abroad
- Securing quality healthcare reform that goes beyond health insurance reform, providing affordable access for all Arizonans
- Protecting Social Security from privatization so that it is available for future generations
Friends throughout Arizona have asked me to consider running for the U.S. Senate because they know my passion for working with diverse groups in our communities, ability to get things done, and strong desire to make Arizona the greatest State to live, to work, and to raise a family! Our goal is to collect over 15,000 individual $20 contributions as we “test the waters” for 2010 U.S. Senate race and explore Arizona’s desire for a broad-based vision where everyone is provided with an equal seat at the table. Please join us!
