Policy Positions
Positions as of June 30, 2026, extracted from source websites.
Economy(2)
Proposes a MentorCorps program organized under the Arizona Department of Commerce to connect retired executives and accomplished professionals with aspiring entrepreneurs.
"In Arizona, we have so many retired CEOs and accomplished professionals. It's time we launched MentorCorps to inspire and educate the next generation of entrepreneurs. Teenagers. College students. Adults. Organized under the Arizona Department of Commerce, all will be welcome to learn from the business pioneers and poets that have come before them."
Supports economic opportunity and entrepreneurship, emphasizing individual freedom and the power to build and succeed.
"A belief in freedom, opportunity, and the power of individuals to build, create, and succeed. This is the foundation behind every decision."
Education(6)
Proposes launching a state-sponsored AI university in Arizona offering education for $99 per semester, and pledges to work to bring tuition costs under control at existing state universities.
"I will launch a new state sponsored AI University that provides an amazing education for just $99 per semester. That's not a typo. It's doable. As Governor and despite being a former quarterback at ASU, I'm prepared to challenge the trend of escalating tuition and work collaboratively to bring costs under control."
Supports redirecting near-universal school vouchers so they only go to those who truly need them, reallocating remaining funds to housing vouchers for lower-income residents.
"I am calling for a reallocation of school vouchers, which have become near universal in Arizona, to only be for those who truly need it. The balance of that money now used for the wealthier will be relocated for housing vouchers, providing important new resources for those on the cusp of owning."
Opposes the current partisan standoff on K-12 education and advocates deploying the best practices of top Arizona charter schools to every public school, while also reducing the number of school districts.
"Republicans want to upend the public K-12 school system with universal choice. Democrats want to keep the old system which was simple and terrific for neighborhoods. But now, both sides are in trench warfare. Some schools are winning, some are losing. In particular, some Arizona charter schools have become the best in the nation. It's far past time to deploy what they are doing to every public school in Arizona. Enough of protectionism. Enough of failing. Enough of closures. Enough of the ridiculous number of school districts in Arizona."
Supports actively recruiting the best teachers in America to Arizona, with competitive compensation to improve educational outcomes.
"Imagine what can happen to your life and neighborhoods if we put that same effort into attracting the greatest teachers in America, as well as police officers and detectives, to Arizona. Crime goes down. Test scores go up. Arizona is all the better. We pay some college coaches upwards of $7 million per year. Don't our police and teachers deserve a fraction of that to help us fulfill our best possible future?"
Opposes universal school vouchers for all income levels, calling for vouchers to be restricted to those who truly need them, while acknowledging the success of some Arizona charter schools and seeking to spread their best practices to all public schools.
"Republicans want to upend the public K-12 school system with universal choice. Democrats want to keep the old system which was simple and terrific for neighborhoods. But now, both sides are in trench warfare. Some schools are winning, some are losing. In particular, some Arizona charter schools have become the best in the nation. It's far past time to deploy what they are doing to every public school in Arizona."
Supports education reform focused on accountability, innovation, and real outcomes, implying systemic changes to the current education system.
"A system designed for this century, not the last. Focused on accountability, innovation, and real outcomes for students."
Healthcare(3)
Acknowledges incoming federal Medicaid cuts and pledges to prioritize lowering costs for the Medicaid population without sacrificing care, drawing on experience from his own companies.
"Federal Medicaid cuts are coming. I can't promise miracles. But I can promise this: I know how to lower costs for this population without sacrificing care because my companies have done it. That will be a top priority of my administration."
Supports Medicaid reform aimed at lowering costs while protecting access to care.
"Lowering costs while protecting access. Proven experience improving care for hundreds of thousands of patients."
Supports ensuring quality, affordable healthcare for every Arizonan while maintaining innovation and sustainability.
"Ensuring quality, affordable care for every Arizonan without sacrificing innovation or sustainability."
