Congratulations Daleny! Southern Arizona will be representing on the world stage! 'Let it rip!' #Marana #LD17

Thank you to the Arizona Veterans' Memorial Cemetery at Marana for putting on a moving Memorial Day ceremony to help us remember and honor those who died in service to our country.

We owe our fallen sevice members a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. #MemorialDay

Didn't meet any bears in Bear Canyon yesterday - just a javelina who was guarding one front door!

I did meet a lot of people who were willing to take their time to have a conversation about what issues are most important to them and what we can do to improve things. #tanqueverde

Arizona has an incredible diversity of people and of landscapes, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to interact with both.

I wasn't quite in the northwesternmost populated area of the district, but I wasn't far either! #Marana #LD17

I'm proud to be endorsed by Ironworkers Local 75! I am committed to fighting for a better Arizona for working families, including Ironworkers, whom we depend on to help build our economy and keep our structures safe. #LD17

Weather: 99 degrees
Doors knocked: 100

Gotta 'beat' the heat! #Marana

'You're the first candidate I've had knock on my door in the 8 years I've lived here.'

'We've had people come to our house, but not the candidate. We've been here 13 years.'

If we seek to truly represent people, we need to go to where they are, and listen. #LD17

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you for your love and your care. All mothers do the most important job in the world, but I'm of course partial to one in particular. Love you, Mom!

We need more real, respectful conversations in our politics, at every level. That's what a functioning democracy depends on.

I'm grateful for the people who take the time to meet me and share their thoughts.

Bonus - it only reached 89 degrees today on the East Side!

As a student, I learned how incredible teachers were based on how they supported, challenged, and inspired me.

As a teacher, I learned that not only is teaching one of society's most important jobs, but also one of the most difficult.

Thank you for all you do.

Thank you Save Our Schools AZ for your endorsement! As a former public school teacher, I believe that all children in Arizona - more than 90% of whom attend public schools - deserve an excellent education, and that means making sure that our schools are fully funded and fully staffed.

Can't beat canvassing and conducting civil conversations with concerned citizens on a cool, cloudy day!

(Yesterday in #EastTucson )

'I agree.' It has become rare in political discussions, but being able to find common ground is part of what I love about having direct, in-person conversations with people.

Slightly hazy, but otherwise a gorgeous day in Rancho Vistoso yesterday! #orovalley

The 1864 abortion ban repeal was signed into law - good news.

Reminder: All Republicans in the State House had voted to allow the ban in 2022. Then 3 members changed positions ahead of this year's election.

We must protect reproductive freedom for Arizonans once and for all.

Good people, good conversations, good day on the East Side of Tucson. We all agree that we need a change from the toxic politics we see too much of. #EastTucson #LD17

I love this district! Incredible views while canvassing today. #tanqueverde #LD17

Congratulations to Marana High School and University of Arizona alum Jordan Morgan on being selected for the NFL draft!

'Being from Tucson and getting drafted is a really big thing for me and my family.'

It's a big thing for our community too - wishing you the best of luck!

Great talking to voters in Continental Ranch yesterday. People can tell the difference between political posturing and getting things done - and they want less politics, more results. #marana

The AZ legislative majority could have stopped the 1864 near-total abortion ban. They didn’t.

Today, the current House majority voted for the 3rd time since last week’s Supreme Court decision NOT to repeal the 1864 ban.

State legislative races are critically important. #LD17
