AZ State Senator- Ahwatukee, Chandler, Tempe; Our survival, and quality of life depend on making decisions based on truth. Science is based on observations and data, not on generalizations. Let’s learn more about it, and use it more rigorously in politics

Services do Not need to be cut. The city budget shows a $14 mil deficit in FY26, and cash reserves over $108 million. Tempe can use the reserves for 2 years and come back with a much better proposal. I feel those who are scaring voters with threats of cuts are stretching the truth too much.

We’ve got to stop voting to Raise the Sales Tax! It will make the Cost Of Living WORSE! Please Vote NO on Tempe Prop 424. It’s wrong to tax the people who need a childcare subsidy More than the wealthiest families but this regressive tax will do that. …

We need AZ Dept of Homeland Security to investigate and prevent cyber threats, threats to our water and electricity systems, and many more that are not “drug cartels.” If this mess passes, DHS would have to move resources AWAY from its mission. Prop 317 is very dangerous. Please Vote No.

AZ needs to pay for road repairs in a fair way. The current system is not fair to lightweight gas-powered cars. This prop bans the state from creating a new tax if it is based on miles driven. Result: AZ could not charge heavy trucks for driving a lot of miles and creating potholes and problems.
Picture of a Tesla car and a big semi-truck, as examples of vehicles that will not pay for road maintenance if Prop141 passes

US taxpayers have to pay for every bomb used against Iran. And the goal of all this destruction is…. What? He has said the goal is no nukes for Iran. We had that with the Obama deal. Rubio needs to point out that WE are paying the price of this ill-planned war.

7 states use Colorado River water. 4 in the upper basin, and 3 in the lower basin. And you are right: there is not enough water in the system for current uses. Adding a data center of that size water use is NOT good stewardship of water.

1 way or another, AZ Republican lawmakers are will Hurt You. They sent 3 horrible bills to the ballot. They make the first few sentences sound nice -usually because those points are already the law- then they drop the bombs with clauses to kill unions, cut K12, and overturn the will of the voters.

Republicans somehow found $30 MILLION for data center tax breaks, but suddenly there’s “no money” to feed kids during the summer. Arizona families deserve better priorities:
✅ Food for kids
✅ Affordable healthcare
✅ Strong public schools
✅ Lower utility bills #AZSenateDems #AZleg

Yes! That was my take, too. Some of the SCOTUS justices are true to the Constitution and they dissented on the POTUS immunity ruling, as well as agreeing with this ruling for checks on POTUS making tariffs. Ruling immunity is okay, 🤮 But tariffs are not— Those choices are true to billionaires.

You are 💯 right. The SCOTUS justices made the correct decision- this time. But it’s still sad that some of them will put checks and balances on POTUS when the prices of their imports increase, But they chose no guardrails on POTUS in granting him immunity from prosecution.
