When a law enforcement agent violates department policy, they must lose their immunity.

Shooting protesters with tear gas violates policy. Walking in front of a car violates policy. Shooting instead of stepping aside violates policy.

Accountability isn't optional.

I'm not a politician. I'm a Systems Engineer. 🛠️

Politics is full of lawyers trained to argue. I've spent 25 years debugging complex systems.

Washington is a crashed system. We don't need to manage the decline—we need to install the upgrade.

We showed up tonight to demand justice for Renee Good.

State-sanctioned violence cannot be shielded by immunity. When a federal agent takes a life, the system must deliver accountability, not a cover-up.

We are with you.

"Building codes are written in blood."

International Law is the same. It exists to prevent catastrophe.

By kidnapping a foreign head of state, we are tearing down the load-bearing walls of global peace. The ends do not justify the means.

Might does not make right. #Venezuela #RuleOfLaw #az01

In 2025, I averaged over 10,000 steps a day. It was a daily choice.

"If who we are is based on the choices we made, we cannot change who we are. But with each new choice, we decide who we will become."

In 2026, let's choose to form a more perfect union. Happy New Year. #HappyNewYear #AZ01

We are running a 2026 economy on 1938 software. The 40-hour work week is 87 years old. It's time for an upgrade: 32 Hours. Same Pay. Hourly workers get a 25% pay hike. Salaried get a 4-day week. Let technology liberate us, not replace us. #SystemUpgrade #32Hours

The rot is at the top.

DOJ: Weaponized by the White House. State: Russian appeasement. Defense: Threats to Court-martial Mark Kelly.

We see what happens when incompetence and corruption take hold. We need a Congress that hold this administration to account.

Arizona deserves air this clean and views this clear every single day.
We have the sun. We have the wind. We just need the political will to build the system.
Investing in solar and renewables isn't just policy; it's protecting the place we call home. ☀️💨

After 43 long days, the shutdown is over.

My first thoughts are with our federal workers and neighbors who require vital services during the shutdown.

This shutdown was a symptom. The real fight—the looming healthcare crisis—continues.

Day 29 of the GOP shutdown. As a System Engineer, I've worked 50 hours straight to fix a crisis. That's the job.

The GOP Caucus isn't even showing up to work.

It's a failure of work ethic. We need reps who do the work.

Just filed our first FEC report. As a one-person campaign team (for now!), I'm acting as my own treasurer.

Why? As a System Engineer, I believe you have to understand every part of the system to run it right.

It's important to care about the details. That's the job. #SystemTrust #AZ01

The GOP has shut down the government. And where is our representative, David Schweikert? He's abandoned his post to run for Governor.

His justification on KTAR this morning: "Maybe Congress is absolutely unsavable."

We deserve a representative who will fix our systems, not walk away from them.

Important to remember that Donald Trump is smirkily joking about here is premeditated mass murder in international waters—an unambiguous war crime—with some of the victims already apparently having been confirmed to be civilian fishermen
Trump brags to military leaders about his strikes on boats: "They don't want go fishing. I don't blame them. There will be no fishing today. It's amazing what strength will do."

Our Constitution promises "liberty and justice for all." But the administration's immigration crackdown, where residents are reportedly rounded up without due process, is an attack on that core promise.

Our incumbent is silent. I will not be.

Happy Labor Day! This is personal for me. My mom was a CWA member & my dad was a UTU railroad man.

I saw firsthand how their unions fought for the fair wages & safe conditions that built the middle class.

Thank you to all who are on the job today. #LaborDay #UnionStrong
