Jobs and economy
A growing economy in Arizona means more opportunity for all Arizonans. As a former Chandler City Councilman and small business owner, Jeff knows what it takes to foster the spirit of innovation and grow our economy.
Companies are moving to Arizona because of the priorities Jeff has fought for at the Capitol. From reducing regulation and barriers to success, to creating a tax-friendly environment, the Chandler economy has grown because Jeff has continuously fought for smart policies. That’s why the Chandler Chamber of Commerce and business owners throughout Chandler have proudly endorsed Jeff for Mayor.
Taxes & Budget
Whether at the City or Capitol, Jeff has fought to lower taxes and balance the budget. Competitive tax rates attract businesses, encourage economic growth, and stimulate local spending.
Jeff knows firsthand the importance of a balanced budget, both as a business owner and as a State Representative. But Jeff does more than just talk the talk - he walks the walk. Cutting waste and reducing regulation helped the City of Chandler avoid service reductions during the recession - and fiscal responsibility at the Capitol will position Arizona for job growth and improve the quality of life for residents throughout the state.
Education
All of Jeff's kids attend public schools and at the Capitol, he voted to increase education funding an teacher pay, and support educational freedom.
Businesses, and the future success of Arizona, rely on an educated workforce - which starts with great schools. Arizona students need the resources necessary to be competitive in the job market.
Arizona is moving in the right direction, but there is still work to be done. By providing responsible choices, diverse learning opportunity for students, and responsibly funding local schools, the state will be well positioned to compete for 21st century jobs.
Public Safety
Jeff is proudly endorsed by the Arizona State Troopers and Fraternal Order of Police.
One of the few central roles of government is to provide equal opportunity for Arizonans by creating safe neighborhoods and communities.
From fully funding police and providing resources for border enforcement, Jeff has been central to ensuring our police officers get more than just necessary equipment. Strong community is what makes Chandler great, and Jeff will fight to protect our neighborhoods.
Data Centers
As Mayor, Jeff is committed to protecting our neighborhoods from data centers. During his time on Council, he was the only ‘no’ vote to stop the blank check data center development Chandler is experiencing today. At that same meeting, he opposed the $10 Million taxpayer giveaway to support the development of the more than 180 acres of data centers in our city.
At the Capitol, Jeff fought to end taxpayer incentives for data centers, which was passed this year - along with a $1.4 Billion tax cut that will benefit seniors, small businesses, and middle-class families.
There is a time and place for data centers, but with Jeff as your next Mayor, that location won’t be in our Chandler neighborhoods.
