Statement:

I am running for the Arizona House in Legislative District 30 to fight for the values that keep our communities strong. As a Bullhead City native and former city councilmember, I know our district deserves leadership that is grounded, accountable, and focused on results. During my time on the Bullhead City Council, I worked to strengthen our community and fought to keep taxes low for local families. I saw firsthand how local decisions affect public safety, economic growth, and the daily lives of the people we represent. My life has also given me a broad perspective on why freedom matters. Through work that took me to more than 35 countries, I saw the consequences of failed governments and the loss of basic liberties. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for the principles that make America and Arizona strong. At the Legislature, I will support law enforcement, defend the Constitution, protect the Second Amendment, and stand for the conservative values our communities depend on. I will work every day to keep Arizona strong and safe for the families, workers, and small businesses who call our district home. I respectfully ask for your vote and invite you to visit graceforarizona.com
