Statement:
I’m a first generation American who has dedicated my life to defending the Constitution. As a prosecutor, I’ve defended the rule of law and put criminals away. As a U.S. Army Captain and Intelligence Officer who just returned from a deployment to the Middle East – I know about protecting our state and nation. That’s why I’m supported by Trump’s national security team: Ric Grenell, Kash Patel, and Robert O’Brien.
I’m running for Attorney General because when I got back from my deployment, I no longer recognized our country. I witnessed Arizonans surrender their freedoms in the name of security, while the political class blatantly violated their own decrees. We watched as churches, schools, and small businesses were shut down while big-box stores remained open. They demonize our police while idolizing criminals. When do we say enough is enough? I say NOW.
As Attorney General, I will prosecute criminals who terrorize our cities. I will ensure our elections are free, fair, and without fraud. I will go after the cartels that are importing drugs into our communities, treating them as the terrorists they are. I will safeguard our God-given freedoms. I’m running to be the Attorney General that fights for you.
