Water is the lifeblood of Arizona, and as your next Congressman for CD4, I will fight for policies that protect our state’s water supply without drowning us in federal overreach. For too long, Washington has pushed one-size-fits-all regulations and bloated spending programs that fail to address Arizona’s unique needs. We don’t need more government handouts or endless infrastructure projects that drain taxpayer dollars—we need practical, conservative solutions that empower our state, support our families, and preserve our way of life.
My Plan for Arizona’s Water Future
- Prioritize State Control Over Federal Mandates
Arizona knows its water challenges better than bureaucrats in Washington. I’ll work to roll back excessive federal regulations—like the overreaching Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rules—that threaten our ranchers, farmers, and property owners. The federal government should support, not dictate, how Arizona manages its water resources. Let’s keep decision-making where it belongs: in the hands of Arizonans. - Secure the Border to Protect Our Water Supply
Uncontrolled illegal immigration strains our water resources, especially in border communities. While some focus on recycling wastewater in urban areas, I’ll tackle the root cause by advocating for a secure border. Reducing the burden of illegal crossings will ease the demand on our limited water supply, ensuring it’s preserved for Arizona families, not diverted to federal mismanagement of a porous border. - Encourage Market-Driven Water Conservation
Instead of relying on massive federal spending and government-managed projects, I’ll champion market-based solutions that incentivize conservation. Tax credits for farmers and homeowners who adopt water-saving technologies, paired with voluntary water-sharing agreements, can reduce waste without the heavy hand of Washington. Arizona’s ingenuity—not federal pork—will lead us forward. - Protect Rural and Tribal Communities Without Bureaucratic Overreach
Small towns and tribal communities deserve a voice in water policy, but they don’t need another layer of federal bureaucracy to “save” them. I’ll support local efforts to improve water access and quality while opposing wasteful programs that funnel money to politically connected insiders. True leadership means cutting red tape, not creating more. - Focus on Practical Infrastructure, Not Federal Boondoggles
While some push for billions in federal funds to prop up pet projects, I’ll advocate for targeted, cost-effective infrastructure improvements that actually work—like maintaining existing dams and reservoirs to maximize storage. We don’t need flashy, expensive schemes that pad the pockets of Washington insiders; we need results that deliver water to Arizona homes and farms. - Prepare for Drought with Resilience, Not Dependence
Arizona’s droughts are a reality, but we don’t need to beg the federal government for handouts to survive them. I’ll push for policies that build resilience—like supporting local water storage initiatives and reducing regulatory barriers to private investment in water infrastructure. Dependence on Washington’s whims weakens us; self-reliance strengthens us.
A Conservative Vision for Water Security
For years, career politicians have promised big government solutions—more spending, more federal control, more bureaucracy—yet Arizona still faces water challenges. I reject the idea that our future lies in endless federal programs and recycled urban water schemes that ignore the needs of rural Arizona. As a conservative leader, I’ll fight for a water policy that respects our state’s sovereignty, protects our borders, and empowers our people. Together, we can secure Arizona’s water future with common sense, not Washington’s nonsense.
