]]>“We earned a spot on the ballot because this campaign is built to go the distance—organized, disciplined, and focused on what actually keeps CD4 families up at night: affordability, honest government, and a country that secures its constituents from harm while protecting their rights,” Davison said. “I’m not running to be another unreliable politician. I’m running to put Arizona families first and take the fights of our local communities to Washington.”
Davison, a former NFL running back, pastor, father, and grandfather, is campaigning on affordable life for Americans, common sense election policy, spending and fraud reform, and solutions that put Ahwatukee-Chandler-Mesa-Tempe communities ahead.
“Qualifying for the ballot is step one,” Davison added. “Voters in our district face a clear choice ahead. I’m a candidate with a proven commitment to defending our constitutional freedoms, strengthening our economy, and putting Arizona families first. I’m running to send a fighter to Washington who will stand for consistent principles and deliver results, not excuses.”

]]>Arizona drivers have faced some of the highest pump prices in the country. When regular gasoline pushes toward five dollars a gallon or more, it does not stay in the news—it hits commuters in Chandler, parents in Mesa, students and workers in Tempe, and small business owners across the East Valley. Reporting from outlets like AZ Family and market analysts regularly ranks Arizona among the most expensive markets—and it is not an accident.
Here is the “triple threat” formula voters deserve to understand:
First, specialized fuel. Maricopa County and “Area A” require specific cleaner-burning gasoline to meet Clean Air Act standards—including the Arizona Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending (AZRBOB) type fuel markets use in our region. That fuel is more expensive to produce and less interchangeable than generic gasoline, which limits supply flexibility when shortages hit.
Second, geography and pipelines—not politics on a bumper sticker. Arizona does not have major in-state oil refineries. We depend heavily on a thin logistics chain: roughly 55–60% of gasoline can arrive through pipelines from Texas and New Mexico, with the remainder coming from California and related West Coast supply. Fewer pipelines mean fewer options when something breaks, maintenance runs, or a neighboring market sneezes.
Third, seasonal switch and maintenance. Every spring, refineries move from winter blends to the more expensive summer formulation—often at the same time plants go offline for maintenance. That combination tightens supply and moves prices right when families are already stretching budgets.
Layer on global crude shocks from international conflict—Middle East risk hits world oil prices, and Phoenix metro demand stays intense—so local competition for refined product stays high.
I am not against clean air. I am against a system where working families pay a premium for dysfunction. We need energy abundance, infrastructure resilience, regulatory realism, and transparency—so the people who obey the law are not the ones carrying the whole bill.
American workers deserve energy policy that puts the United States first.
Venezuela’s oil story matters to this debate. American companies have been involved in Venezuelan oil for more than a century. The industry was nationalized in the 1970s with PDVSA. In the 1990s, Venezuela opened its oil sector again and brought in major international investment and technology—including from U.S. firms—to expand production. Later regimes reasserted state control, corruption exploded, and the country collapsed. That is what happens when politics replaces competence.
Today, with U.S. leadership working toward a post-Maduro future, Congress should insist on strategic reciprocity. If American diplomacy and American investment help unlock responsible production in our hemisphere, then American families should see the downstream benefit: more stable supply, less dependence on OPEC politics, and priority access for U.S. refiners and consumers where it can be negotiated lawfully and fairly. We should prefer cheap, secure energy from the Western Hemisphere over begging overseas cartels for relief.
A huge part of affordability is affording the roof over your head. We need more homes where it makes sense—faster permits, predictable zoning, infrastructure that keeps pace, and fewer artificial barriers that turn starter homes into a fantasy for young families.
We also need a mortgage market that helps first-time buyers without gimmicks that inflate prices faster than they help. Transparency, reasonable down-payment paths, and policies that reward work matter.
Finally, we must protect existing homeowners: especially seniors and working families whose net worth is in their home. We can increase supply without engineering a crash or dumping top-down federal experiments into neighborhoods that did everything right. Build more, yes—but do not punish the people who already played by the rules.
A common-sense affordability agenda is simple: keep gas and power costs from crushing family budgets, unlock housing supply without destroying neighborhood stability, and put American workers—not foreign cartels and not Washington consultants—at the center of the solution.

]]>The post Cut Spending & Reduce Fraud appeared first on Jerone Davison for Arizona.
]]>Washington doesn’t have a revenue problem—it has a spending and honesty problem. Trillions flow out the door every year while working families in CD4 pay the bill. Fraud, waste, and abuse aren’t rounding errors; they’re built into a system where nobody is held accountable. As your next Congressman, I will fight to cut spending, recover stolen dollars, and force the federal government to live within its means—starting with a new generation of audits and enforcement that go far beyond press releases.
Former DOGE leader Elon Musk said on X (December 2025) that his lower-bound guess for national fraud is about 20% of the federal budget—roughly $1.5 trillion per year—and that the real number is probably much higher. Whether the exact percentage is 15% or 25%, the point is the same: if we don’t go after fraud at scale, we will never balance the budget.
The Department of Government Efficiency proved that when outsiders with authority open the books, the swamp panics. I support bringing DOGE back—with a wider mandate, longer runway, and statutory tools to claw back improper payments and cancel corrupt contracts. We need forensic accounting across cabinet agencies, not another “study” that gathers dust. DOGE shouldn’t be a one-term project; it should be the new normal for how Congress expects agencies to prove every dollar.
Independent journalist Nick Shirley did what too many in Congress refuse to do: he got on the ground in Minnesota, rolled cameras, and exposed how daycare, adult day care, non-emergency medical transport, and other public programs were being bled dry—including massive Somali-community-linked fraud that federal and state authorities are now chasing with criminal charges, convictions, and payment freezes. His investigations went viral because they showed what taxpayers across the aisle already suspect: when oversight is weak and nobody consistently verifies how dollars are spent, your tax money becomes an ATM for fraudsters. I will push to replicate that kind of sunlight nationwide—IG + DOJ + Treasury strike teams, aggressive audits, and clawbacks—and I will welcome independent investigators who do the homework politicians dodge.
The same state gave us Feeding Our Future—hundreds of millions in federal nutrition money lost to shell companies and fake meal counts while kids went hungry on paper, not in practice. Two different scandals, one lesson: open spigots plus weak verification equal organized theft. I support prosecuting both tracks to the fullest and using them as the blueprint for every state where programs are too big to police.
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and disability programs exist for Americans who earned them or who genuinely need help—not for identity thieves, double-dippers, and billing mills. Improper payments and outright fraud in entitlements drain hundreds of billions over time and accelerate insolvency. I will support identity verification, data-matching, work requirements where lawful, and criminal penalties for organized fraud—while protecting benefits for eligible seniors and families. Balancing the budget without touching the growth of fraud is mathematically dishonest.
Members of Congress should not get a pay raise while the country runs trillion-dollar deficits and inflation eats away at your paycheck. I will oppose any congressional pay increase unless the federal budget is on a credible path to balance—not gimmicks, not 10-year smoke and mirrors, but real constraints on spending. Leadership starts at the top; if Washington wants more money, earn it by fixing the mess they created.
The U.S. House has been frozen at 435 members for over a century while the population has tripled. That means fewer representatives per person, more power concentrated in party leadership, and less accountability to local communities. I support uncapping the House and expanding representation—provided the transition is structured so it does not increase federal spending or drive us deeper into debt. Representation should scale with the people—not with a bigger pork barrel.
For decades, career politicians have promised to “cut waste” while the debt clock spins faster. I reject the idea that Americans must accept permanent inflation, open-ended entitlements for fraudsters, and blank checks to bloated agencies. DOGE-style audits, follow-the-money field work like Nick Shirley’s Minnesota investigations, and entitlement integrity aren’t optional—they’re the only way to get to a balanced budget without crushing the middle class. Cut spending, recover fraud, and make Congress live by the same rules as CD4 families: no raises until the job is done.

]]>The post Support the SAVE Act appeared first on Jerone Davison for Arizona.
]]>American elections should be decided by American citizens—period. For too long, federal law has allowed people to register to vote in federal elections with little more than a self-attestation under penalty of perjury, while states struggle to keep voter rolls clean and the public loses confidence. The SAVE Act—the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act—would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and strengthen tools to remove ineligible registrants. As your next Congressman for CD4, I will fight to pass the SAVE Act, protect Arizona’s voice at the ballot box, and reject the left’s excuses that basic citizenship verification is somehow “voter suppression.” Showing ID to board a plane or open a bank account is common sense—proving you’re a citizen to vote should be the bare minimum.
The SAVE Act replaces the weak status quo with clear, objective standards: eligible documentation includes, for example, a valid U.S. passport, REAL ID–compliant identification that indicates citizenship, certain military IDs tied to U.S. birth, and other combinations of government-issued photo ID with certified birth certificates or equivalent proof. That’s not radical—it’s integrity. I’ll vote for and whip support for the SAVE Act so Arizona voters know federal elections aren’t being diluted by people who have no legal right to participate.
The bill pushes states to identify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls where the law requires it, with processes for applicants to demonstrate citizenship if documentation is disputed. Washington shouldn’t turn a blind eye while confidence in our elections erodes. I’ll back the SAVE Act’s enforcement framework—including accountability where officials fail to follow the law—because clean rolls and verified registration protect every legitimate voter’s ballot.
We’ve watched unprecedented strain at the southern border. Arizonans are right to ask whether our election systems are airtight against noncitizen participation. The SAVE Act answers that demand for security without apologies. While some in Congress want to block citizenship checks and keep the system loose, I’ll stand with President Trump, House leadership, and Arizona families who want elections we can trust—starting with proving you’re an American before you’re handed a federal ballot.
Opponents will claim that asking for citizenship proof disenfranchises eligible voters. The truth is: citizens already navigate ID and documentation for countless parts of daily life. The SAVE Act is about stopping illegal voting, not stopping legal voters. I’ll communicate clearly in CD4 that we can—and must—provide reasonable assistance so every eligible citizen can comply, while closing loopholes that undermine faith in our democracy.
For years, career politicians and activist lawyers have blocked simple safeguards—then wondered why half the country doesn’t trust the outcome. I reject the idea that election integrity is partisan. Citizens vote; noncitizens don’t—that’s not controversial outside the Beltway. Supporting the SAVE Act means standing for Arizona, for legal immigration, and for the principle that your vote isn’t cancelled by fraud or neglect. With proof of citizenship, clean rolls, and enforcement, we restore confidence in CD4 and across America—one citizen, one vote, backed by facts, not blind faith in a broken system.

]]>The post Structural Reform: More Representation, Less Bloat appeared first on Jerone Davison for Arizona.
]]>The U.S. House has been frozen at four hundred thirty-five members for more than a century while the country has tripled in population. That means each representative speaks for vastly more people than the Framers imagined—more power for party leadership, less access for ordinary citizens, and weaker ties between Members and neighborhoods.
I support uncapping the House and expanding the number of representatives so districts are smaller, more local, and more responsive—provided the transition is designed so it does not explode the federal payroll or add new debt-financed pork. Representation should scale with the people. The goal is more voice for Arizona communities—not a bigger swamp.
The United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations are thick with provisions nobody would pass today—crony carve-outs, zombie programs, and rules written for a world that no longer exists. Congress should systematically repeal obsolete statutes, consolidate duplicative programs, and attach sunset dates to new programs so bad ideas expire unless they earn reauthorization on the merits.
Agencies should not be able to invent major policy through regulation without a vote of the people’s representatives. Reforms like requiring Congress to affirm major rules—so lawmakers take responsibility instead of hiding behind bureaucrats—fit the classical liberal idea that law should be simple, knowable, and democratically accountable.
Federal budgeting rewards baseline dishonesty: pretend cuts are “draconian” when spending still grows, treat inflation as automatic entitlement, and run trillion-dollar deficits while debating pennies. We need process reforms that force honesty: multi-year planning, zero-based reviews of major programs, and constraints that stop Congress from borrowing the country into oblivion.
I support a path to a balanced federal budget—not as a talking point, but as a discipline—paired with fraud recovery and spending cuts elsewhere so we are not “balancing” on the backs of seniors who paid in fair and square. Pay-as-you-go rules should apply to new spending. Emergency spending should be for real emergencies.
One of the worst structural failures is Washington ordering states and school districts to do something expensive—and then refusing to pay for it. That is taxation by regulation. I support reforms that reduce unfunded mandates on Arizona and return flexibility with accountability: let states innovate closer to the people, and let federal dollars come with fewer strings when the goal is results, not compliance theater.
I will also oppose a congressional pay raise until the budget is on a credible path to balance. Leadership should not get richer while families pay for Washington’s failures.
The best government is limited, local where possible, and legible to citizens who have real jobs. Structural reform is not about new programs or new taxes—it is about better rules: more representatives who actually represent, fewer laws nobody understands, a budget process that tells the truth, and a federal government that stops outsourcing its constitutional duties to unelected agencies.
That is how we improve functionality and trust—without asking CD4 families to pay for another round of Washington’s mistakes.

]]>As your next Congressman for Arizona’s Fourth Congressional District—serving Mesa, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Chandler, and communities across the East Valley—I am committed to health care that is affordable, understandable, and accessible. Our current system is burdened by federal overreach and the failures of Obamacare: too many families face high costs, narrow networks, surprise bills, and paperwork that seems designed to protect insiders—not patients. For too long, Washington has pushed government-heavy answers that prop up bureaucracies and insurance giants while the most vulnerable pay the price. I believe in a conservative approach: replace Obamacare with a competitive, patient-centered system that lowers costs, protects people with pre-existing conditions, and puts CD4 families back in control.
The biggest Republican mistake of the last decade was repeating “repeal and replace” without a replacement that could hold a governing majority. That is why Arizona Senator John McCain and others voted no—there was no consensus plan that made sense for Arizona families, not just a cable news segment.
Voters are tired of slogans. They want a plan that can pass, work, and survive contact with real life—especially for seniors, working parents, and anyone with a chronic condition.
No one should be denied access to experimental treatments that could save their life. I will fight to strengthen and expand Right to Try—cutting federal roadblocks so terminally ill patients and their doctors can pursue cutting-edge options when time is short. I am in full support of President Donald Trump’s agenda on this issue: hope should be legal, and bureaucracy should not be the last word at the bedside.
Health care costs stay high when patients cannot see prices until after the fact. I will push federal policies that require real, upfront disclosure from hospitals, insurers, and drug companies—so families in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and Ahwatukee can compare options and providers can compete on value. Transparency drives competition, lowers costs, and returns power to patients—not Washington.
Obamacare has failed Arizona—driving up premiums for many, limiting choices, and burying families in mandates and fine print. I will work to replace it with a market-based system that encourages real competition among insurers and providers, expands affordable options, and reduces the one-size-fits-all federal micromanagement that helped create the mess we have now. The goal is simple: a system that works for patients—not for bureaucrats.
No one should be denied access to coverage because of a pre-existing condition. I support reforms that protect those individuals while keeping coverage affordable through competition, risk stabilization where appropriate, and state flexibility—not endless mandates that raise premiums for everyone else. Compassion and fiscal sanity can coexist.
Our seniors, low-income families, and Americans with chronic illness deserve a safety net that works—not a conveyor belt into dependency. I will advocate for policies that strengthen Medicare’s sustainability, expand health savings accounts (HSAs), and use targeted tax credits and state flexibility so help reaches those who truly need it in CD4—without pretending socialism is the only way to show mercy.
Drug prices are crushing families—from Ahwatukee retirees to Tempe parents. I support federal policies that accelerate generic competition, crack down on abuse and anti-competitive behavior, and open lawful pathways to lower costs—including safe importation where it protects patient safety—so relief hits the pharmacy counter, not just a campaign speech.
We should expand choices, not narrow them: association health plans where appropriate, portability when people change jobs, and state innovation waivers that let Arizona pilot solutions without a distant agency running every detail. The point is to stop the slow migration of Americans from private options into a government-default system because the “market” we defend is rigged against the patient.
For years, career politicians promised affordable health care through bigger government, more spending, and doubling down on Obamacare—yet costs keep rising and choices keep shrinking for too many Arizona families. I reject the idea that federal control or endless new programs will fix a system that Washington broke. As a conservative leader, I will fight for a health care future that empowers patients, delivers price transparency, replaces Obamacare with a competitive alternative, protects the vulnerable, and honors the dignity of every life—here in Mesa, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Chandler, and across America.

Today, millions of Americans—conservatives, independents, and others—are being silenced by Big Tech corporations that wield unchecked power to censor, deplatform, and destroy livelihoods on the flimsiest of pretexts. This isn’t just an attack on free speech; it’s a threat to our democracy and the fundamental rights of every citizen. While some in Washington push for more government partnerships with these tech giants or vague regulations that miss the mark, I believe we need a bold, conservative solution: an Internet Bill of Rights (IBOR) to level the playing field and protect our freedoms.
For too long, career politicians have ignored the growing threat of Big Tech censorship or responded with ineffective, government-heavy solutions that fail to address the root issues. I reject the idea that more federal partnerships or vague equity initiatives will fix this crisis.
