About this response & our editorial approach
About this candidate response
DutyStation contacts candidates to ask whether and how they support service members, military families and veterans, and invites them to share their thoughts and priorities. We share their replies here in the candidate’s or campaign’s own words, with minor formatting for readability and correction of obvious spelling mistakes.
No endorsement in either direction. Publishing a reply does not mean DutyStation endorses the candidate. Replying does not mean the candidate or campaign endorses DutyStation.
DutyStation’s website summaries and policy assessments are labeled separately.
Election reflections. Brief answers to DutyStation’s questions about hope, America’s future, unity, the next generation and a closing message. These reflections do not establish detailed military-family or veterans policy positions.
Hope heading into the election
As a working-class candidate, AZ-03 will vote for a working-class teacher and activist who fights to implement Foundation Economics to benefit the workers, not Wall Street.
Vision for America
Workers' success First!
Bringing Americans together
A Government that protects the American working class (aka the "working poor") and allows them to build wealth and shrink the gap between the poorest and richest people is an America that brings everyone together. If a family has to choose between paying an electric bill or even rent and feeding their family, that is an America that has lost its way. The Door of prosperity can only be opened with this Redkey.
The next generation
The next generation needs to inherent a country, our United States that gives them the opportunity to work and build wealth that the Baby Boomers received. If that requires every ultra wealthy person (who makes OVER $200,000 [single] / $400,000 [married-filling jointly] a year) to pay $0.96 or $0.92 tax for every dollar made above $200,000 a year, single; or $400,000 a year, married-filing jointly. That is how we rebuild economic equality and transform into a more prosperous, egalitarian society. A return to an America that once was.
Closing message to voters
If you vote for the same candidates, the same false dichotomy, things will continue to get worse for everyone but the richest one-percent. Republicans and Democrats are both beholden to the donor class. We need to be better. Being grounded into the ground by poverty, being grounded into the ground by a red-light running tow truck, being grounded into the ground by systems of exploitation, to quote Cyrano de Bergerac from Louis Untermeyer's 1954 translation: "You’ll get me down. But, be that as it may, I’ll fight—and fight—and still go fighting on." So, if you want politicians who will just roll over on command, vote for the other guys. If you want to disrupt those in power, vote for a person with the tenacity like a bulldog...vote for me. I put the working people first. I put those who struggle first. I put those who actually build and maintain our country first. Because when we succeed, America succeeds. When we are harmed, we, the working class, are harmed.
Policy review pending. The campaign response is published above; independent assessment and official-record review remain separate.

No official actions have yet been reviewed for this profile. This does not mean the candidate has no record. A challenger’s lack of congressional votes is not counted against them.
DutyStation publishes these profiles as independent editorial research. This page is not authorized, sponsored, approved or endorsed by any candidate, campaign or political party. Inclusion, campaign links and published responses do not constitute an endorsement by DutyStation, and a campaign’s participation does not mean it endorses our assessment.
DutyStation is not an official government, Department of Defense, military service or Department of Veterans Affairs publication. Names, images and links identify the subjects and sources; they do not imply affiliation or endorsement.
Policy summaries, potential benefits, tradeoffs and any scores are editorial assessments under our published methodology, not measures of patriotism or recommendations on how to vote. Forecasts are estimates, not guarantees. Missing information, an unpublished score or a campaign’s lack of response is not evidence of opposition to the military, military families or veterans.
Profiles may use AI-assisted research and summarization, which can contain errors. Coverage is incomplete and reflects the sources and review dates shown; positions and records can change. Check the linked original sources. Campaign statements and responses represent the campaign’s own claims, not independently verified outcomes. When published, responses will be attributed and distinguished from DutyStation’s analysis; providing a response does not confer editorial control.
For additions or factual corrections, email editor@dutystation.ai with the profile link, the disputed passage and supporting sources. DutyStation will review submissions and correct material where the evidence supports a change. External websites are controlled by their respective publishers.
