As our culture trends further from its foundation, it is critical that we engage in every domain – including politics.

Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Enacting state-level restrictions on firearm ownership beyond current Arizona law. O
2. Adding sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes in Arizona nondiscrimination statutes. O
3. Expanding state-level enforcement efforts to deter illegal border crossings. S
4. Prohibiting taxpayer funds from directly or indirectly funding abortion services, except where required by federal law. S
5. Maintaining the universal Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program without limiting eligibility. -* Please see my comments from the previous survey. I would much more strongly advocate that we move the responsibility of education from a tax funded model, regulated by more centralized decision makers, back to the parents and families of students. I am an education liberty proponent and would like to see a reverse in the academic decline associated with our current system. Much more could be said.
6. Legalizing physician-assisted suicide for individuals seeking end-of-life assistance, regardless of terminal illness. O
7. Allowing licensed counselors to provide therapy to minors seeking to reduce or manage same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria, with parental consent. S
8. Increasing criminal penalties for the sale and distribution of fentanyl and other illicit drugs. S
9. Requiring stronger age verification and parental consent protections for minors accessing social media platforms and downloading mobile applications. S* This is ultimately the parents' responsibility. While I support protecting our children from the dangers inherent in social media / various apps, I don't know how an attempt can be accomplished without more government oversight and regulation. This oversight really needs to be handled by parents who are equipped/enabled to set the device and content permissions, etc...
10. Increasing criminal penalties for individuals who purchase sex. S
11. Requiring election procedures that ensure voter identification verification and ballot security. S
12. Enacting a legislative referral that would ask voters to repeal Arizona Proposition 139, the constitutional right to abortion. S
13. Expanding current marijuana laws to increase accessibility to recreational marijuana for adults. O
