- I firmly believe the voters of Arizona's 2nd district deserve a choice.
- Climate change is the existential problem of our lifetime, and that of our children.
- I believe in universal, affordable health care.
Here's my vision for the voters of AZ-2, and what I would fight for:
1. All Americans deserve affordable health care, including a public option.
2. Climate change is a thing, and I can't believe I even have to say that.
3. Our Schools are underfunded, and our teachers are underpaid.
4. The opioid crisis is devastating and urgent, and demands a comprehensive plan.
5. Veterans and their families merit our unwavering support.
6. The Latino population of southern Arizona and their needs deserve greater focus.
7. We need to step up our game in renewable energy.
8. Campaign financing is an unholy mess, and I won't accept any corporate or PAC money.
