Election Integrity
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.
My Plan to Support the SAVE Act
Require Proof of Citizenship for Federal Voter Registration
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.
Help States Clean Voter Rolls and Catch Ineligible Registrants
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.
Protect Arizona from Federal Open-Borders Politics in Our Elections
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.
Push Back on False “Suppression” Narratives
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.
A Common Sense Vision for Secure Elections
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.
