Policies
An Advocate for Children, Families and Our Community
Elizabeth will:
Support Women’s Healthcare and Reproductive Freedoms
Women and families MUST retain the freedom to make their own health care decisions without government interference.
- Freedom to make decisions between medical personnel and patient
- Freedom to make personal reproductive decisions
- Support the Arizona Access Abortion Act which codifies the rights of Roe v Wade in the Arizona Constitution
Support Quality, Well-Funded Public Education Systems
All children deserve a quality education regardless of their income or zip code.
- Provide oversight to the School Voucher Program (ESA – Empowerment Scholarship Account) which sends public dollars to tuition-based private schools and home schooling
- Designate that public dollars follow our students to public schools; 86% of Arizona students attend public schools
- Establish income eligibility standards for the ESA Program to ensure fiscal responsibility
Support a Sustainable and Clean Water Supply
Arizona’s water must be protected for future generations and a healthy economy.
- Restore protections for Arizona’s ephemeral and intermittent waters
- Promote policies to protect watersheds aligned with the Arizona 1980 Groundwater Act
- Protect groundwater by restricting use by foreign companies and by promoting water conservation programs
Support Community Safety
- We live in one of the safest communities in the nation but we must address current concerning issues.
- · Pass “Christian’s Law” to require proper storage of loaded and unloaded guns and ammunition
- · Ban the sale of Brass Knuckles statewide to prevent the assault on our youth that we witnessed by the Gilbert Goons
- · Work in cooperation with the Gilbert police and School Safety Officers to prevent and curb youth violence.
Protect our Democracy
The freedom to vote without undue burden is critical to our democracy.
- Protect the current system of Vote-by-Mail used by 89% of Arizona voters
- Protect the use of convenient voting centers
- Protect the voting equipment and voter rolls from partisan players
- Protect the rights of a diverse population
