- "As your congressman, I promise to lead the fight for the sanctity and dignity of life against those who would entrust the fate of life and death of an innocent child to a choice.

- "A healthy infrastructure is the basis for a functioning modern economy. Investing in the I-11 project and expanding HWY 95 to connect I-8 to I-10 would not just allow Arizona to grow, but it will allow it to keep growing in an increasingly competitive economy." (votesmart.org)
- "We need to identify the unnecessary government programs to assess spending levels, and evaluate areas in which there are waste in order to not only reign in spending, but have our government operate more effectively and efficiently." (votesmart.org)

- "The education system in our country is broken, and the state of Arizona's education system being consistently ranked in the bottom 5 is a testament to this complete inability of our federal government to implement effective education policy. Streamlining education by empowering local control and reducing the the federal footprint on our schools will create a system that puts students and parents first instead of putting the demands of Washington in the forefront."

- "With suffocating regulations that restrict local access and land grabs, the federal government has managed to prevent the development and accessibility of affordable natural resources. Elect me and I will take the lead on pursuing a market-based, open access strategy to develop our economy and reap the benefit of Arizona's rich natural resources." (votesmart.org)

- "Border security and national security are one in the same. An open and unsecure border is not just a threat to the safety of our country, but a threat to the safety of the American worker. We need to send an influential leader to Washington who will secure our border and enforce the rule of law to strengthen national security and raise the value of citizenship." (votesmart.org)
