What I saw in Arizona classrooms

Robert, Colored pencils and highlighters. Hand sanitizer. Books, from great novels to science textbooks. Desk chairs. When we underfund our public schools, our kids end up in oversized classes with overwhelmed teachers — many of whom use their own money to pay for classroom basics. As a mom and a teacher, I’ve experienced this firsthand in Arizona schools. And when I saw how my daughter, her classmates, and her teacher were suffering from Republican budget cuts, I was motivated to do more. It’s what first inspired me to run for the Arizona State House in 2016, and why I’m now taking that fight to Congress. I’m running because I want to build a brighter future for every kid in Arizona. By defending reproductive freedom, we give parents the power to start a family when they’re ready, financially and emotionally. By investing in child tax credits, we help working families make ends meet, so they can get food on the table for their kids. By supporting public schools, we ensure every child has access to a strong education and the tools they need to succeed. By protecting the environment, we keep our air clean and our water secure for generations to come. Robert, I’m in a toss-up race against a Republican who is selling Arizona’s 6th Congressional District out for conservative interests. We deserve better than someone who has consistently voted against our kids’ futures. [We’re currently getting outspent by massive corporate and crypto PACs.
