Arizona needs water security fast. This drought is impacting everyone, yet Congressman Eli Crane hasn’t been at the table for us. I’ll work with anyone to solve Arizona’s water crisis and protect every last drop. #warriorup

🎙️ ICYMI: Here’s a hint of what was said at my KMOG interview yesterday. 🎙️ Arizona needs leaders who will fight for our fair share of money, and for the past 3 years, Eli Crane has not done that. It’s time for change so we can improve our infrastructure.

Leaders of the past had a vision. We built on their plans, and today, a new hotel is opening in Shonto. Small-town Arizona needs leaders who understand rural communities. I’ll bring that record to Congress and fight for more jobs, investment, and opportunity.
