Arizona needs

leadership
hi, I'm brian.
To say my heart and my roots run deep with this community would be an understatement. I was raised right here in the LD27 District, attending Sweetwater Elementary and Moon Valley High Schools. The house I grew up in off 48th Avenue and Cactus remains in my family after almost 50 years.
I’ve watched our district change a lot over the course of my life. With two parents who taught in the Glendale Union High School District, I am concerned about the decline in our schools performance over the past several decades and the insertion of politically-charged curricula into our public schools.
My father was a Vietnam veteran and I have seen firsthand the poor quality of our Veterans’ services. It’s beyond time for us to demonstrate the debt of gratitude we have for our Veterans and ensure that they receive the assistance and care that they deserve.
Equally at the heart of my motivation to run is our Police Officers. Over the past 20+ years, I have been involved with the law enforceement community, actively engaged with departments across the state with fundraising for injured and fallen officers, planning multiple officer appreciation and community awareness days and working hand in hand with our brave men and women in law enforcement to promote goodwill throughout our communities. Our District has unique borders in that it encompasses three growing cities: Phoenix, Glendale and Peoria. All of these cities are faced with Police Officer shortages, delayed response times and low officer morale. As a private citizen I have been as vocal and active as possible, but as a Legislator would have the power to really make changes that impact our Officers and the Citizens of Arizona. We must turn this around before we see skyrocketing crime in our neighborhoods.
As the owner of We Fix Ugly Pools, a pool remodeling / repair / construction company operating in Arizona and Texas, I’m aware of issues facing the small business community and how recent economic trends have affected our business community. Small businesses are the heart of the community and we must find ways to continually encourage and attract small businesses to strengthen the Arizona economy.
I am a conservative, concerned about Bidenonmics, border security, law enforcement, Governor Hobbs’ anti-business agenda, and special interest funding giveaways. I was taught at a young age that “inch by inch is a cinch, but yard by yard is hard.” I will fight every inch to put the people of Arizona first, ensuring trust in free and fair elections, balancing our budgets, expanding economic opportunity, and protecting our long-term water supplies.
I intend to earn your trust and your vote in the 2024 election!

Issues
As a small business owner, I know what difficulties are encountered when building and maintaining your company. New start ups need tax relief and protection from home-based business regulations. I will be a staunch supporter of policies that defend those who are looking to be self-employed or explore that route.
We must fight for a strong and secure border. Without a border, we have no security. Our closed checkpoints must be re-opened and our state needs to invest in further collaboration with municipal and tribal levels of government to better address this growing crisis. Those who break the law should be punished and those whose first action in this nation is to break its laws should face appropriate consequences and not be sheltered away in hotels at the taxpayer’s expense.
Although many border security problems are federal, human and drug trafficking in Arizona has reached horrifying levels. We must collaborate with municipal and tribal levels of government to better address the crisis, punish those who are caught trafficking, and invest further into first responders.
The homelessness crisis has become worse and worse every year. Instead of providing means for these people to lift themselves out of homelessness, we are enabling it further with bad policies that encourage investors to run up housing costs and push out single family homes. The state ought to pre-empt the cities and directly address areas where homelessness has run rampant.
We must fight for our veterans like they’ve fought for us. No veteran should go without appropriate physical and mental health care. Veteran homelessness and suicide rates are too high and we should aim to address those with individualized policies.
Bureaucrats should never be fully in charge of your children’s curriculum. Arizona’s ESA program allows families to send their children to any school of their choice – private, homeschooled, online, charter, or traditional public – regardless of zip code or income. I support this program and will make it more effective over time. I will stand strongly against attempts by Katie Hobbs & Democrats to institute a monolithic education entity which removes choice.
Bidenomics and a devastating housing market have crippled our community. We need to fight back against multibillion dollar corporate takeovers of single family homes and encourage competition in every industry. The government should not be involved in picking winners and losers – but it should be involved in working to give everybody an equal opportunity at becoming a winner.
