Issue Position: Jobs and the Economy

Issue Position

Arizona's been in a boom-and-bust cycle for too long. My vision for this district is that of a diversified, stable economy not dependent on just one sector. District One has an opportunity to create jobs in emerging technologies like biotech, wind and solar; jobs tied to our natural resources; and jobs that strengthen our education system and help our kids compete in a global economy.

Our mostly rural district includes the Grand Canyon, an environmental treasure that is also an economic driver. Our working families rely on industries such as mining, national parks and public lands. District One is also home to major transportation corridors including federal highways, railroads, pipelines and water resources. The need for infrastructure in rural Arizona is significant, particularly on the Navajo Nation and throughout tribal communities. Modernizing our infrastructure will create and project jobs in District One and give these communities the tools to build long-term economic stability.
