I am a son of the American Revolution – with deep roots in Pennsylvania. I came to Arizona three decades ago as a Rust Belt refugee with Appalachian values: invest in the community, help others, question authority. My favorite founding father said, “It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.” I admired Benjamin Franklin for that quote and for advocating to abolish slavery in our original constitution. I founded The Carpetbag Brigade Physical Theater Company and the Tsunami on the Square performing arts festival. As the creative and communications leader of an internationally touring theater company I facilitated cross-cultural exchanges and global seminars, I led teams to success in complex, demanding environments with tight deadlines and competing priorities. I bring people together through events and stories. My performance work inspires productive discussions and creates experiences and forums to engage, build, and sustain community. Our legislature can be improved by learning to function like an ensemble theater with critical thinking and skillful listening. I want to renew the art of dialogue in our legislature and improve our quality of life. I look forward to serving you. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-key-message-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse-key-message-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse-key-message-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-key-message-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign.

Our water policy should be updated to empower the activation of rural management areas so that we increase the stakeholder input in water policy and recognize the necessity of achieving safe yield. This will require lawmakers with the courage to write bills that have consequences for overdrafting and allocate adequate resources to the Arizona Department of Water Resources. We must successfully administer the desired policies of rural management areas through public dialogue, constructive education, efficient measurement and disciplined enforcement. You can't manage what you don't measure!</li> <li>PROTECT OUR LAND from toxic mining interests...foreign and domestic. - If I was in the state legislature I would push for laws that give adjacency rights for municipalities to approve or deny mining permits that would impact the quality of life for local citizens. We need to develop fair guidelines for mining companies to pay for the use of our water and financially commit to clean up wastewater from mines. Adequately funding the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is essential. We need our first line of defense to be robust and vigilant so that ADEQ can protect our land against toxic mining interests.</li> <li>FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY - The twin pillars of fiscal responsibility are: Don't spend money you don't have and When you have money spend it for the benefit of everyone. Instead of Misappropriations for city rodeos let's fund fire departments so that we can keep our property insurance rates affordable. Let's rein in ESA voucher giveaways so we don't bankrupt our state further. Fair taxation, keep taxes on the working class low and affordable but make sure corporations pay their fair share so we can fund public education, health care, and civic culture.</li> </ul> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading1-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse1-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse1-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse1-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse1-236397-2024-05-16" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading1-236397-2024-05-16"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> We need to preserve our quality of life and that starts with water. We have to be vigilant about our water supply and make sure that we are protecting our aquifers. We need to encourage safe yield with education, incentives and enforcement. Wastewater recharge, storm catchment and low water usage plans should become commonplace understandings in Arizona. This can be done through education. They can become commonplace practices through incentives and they can become necessary components of communnities by requiring new developments to adopt net zero water strategies to achieve safe yield.

The strength of his personality and passion were on display that day but the truth is I did not fully comprehend or understand his greatness. It was only later in life that I fully took in the efforts he had made on the bridge in Selma as a teenager to demonstrate for the importance of civil rights, for voting rights and for human rights. His dignity in the face of suffering, and his willingness to participate in non-violent struggle and work peaceably towards reform through participation in our civic structures as a congressman are a light to forming a more perfect union in our country. And this ultimately is where I take my inspiration from the 'good trouble' of John Lewis. His patience to participate in and transform the political system that was unjustly discriminating and incriminating him stands as a beacon to the value and service of political office. The acts of his youth under Martin Luther King's leadership could be seen as idealistic, practical, and radical. They led to a career dedicated to transforming the political system we live in and making it more just and equitable. This is admirable and should inspire all of us to appreciate the value of political office in creating a better society. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading3-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse3-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse3-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse3-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse3-236397-2024-05-16" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading3-236397-2024-05-16"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> Lincoln from Steven Spielberg and Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln from Doris Kearns Goodwin. I truly believe that Lincoln's approach to his cabinet which is outlined in the book and portrayed in the movies shows what I believe is essential inn successful politics - Dialogue. Lincoln let his cabinet members have authentic agency and created dialogue between them. He knew that the smartest person in the room was everyone together. It was audacious and like good art it is still talked about today.<br /> <br /> For further insight into my political philosophy my Master's thesis "Election as Ceremony: Politics and the Art of Transformational Dialogue elaborates on the seven A's that make a successful performing arts residency. Agency, Authenticity, Accuracy, Audacity, Artistry, Audience, Accessibility.<br /> <br /> The Seven A's come from the Network of Ensemble Theater's work at defining the conditions that create a high-impact community residency. These were developed by Jerry Strobnicky over a three year period of reviewing performing art community residencies around the USA. <br /> <br /> I take these seven principles and apply them to politics because I believe politics at its best activates our capacity to engage community and direct its resources for the benefit of everyone.<br /> <br /> Agency is allowing people to determine their own direction.<br /> Authenticity is being true to one self and one's context.<br /> Accuracy is using facts and truth.<br /> Audacity is the willingness to speak truth boldly so that it is heard.<br /> Artistry is sharing your message in a way that catches attention successfully.<br /> Audience is knowing who you are talking to or representing.<br /> Accessibility is making sure people can get the message or get to the resources. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading4-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse4-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse4-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse4-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse4-236397-2024-05-16" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading4-236397-2024-05-16"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> A strong leader needs a balance of Integrity and Curiosity and have the ability to Listening and create Dialogue.<br /> <br /> Integrity is often seen as an ethical characteristic but I view it as a capacity to take in new information and objectively reflect about one self and one's own views, where one stands and where one has stood. Integrity allows you to integrate new perspectives and experiences while remembering and being accountable for your own actions.<br /> <br /> Curiosity is a critical characteristic for growth as it opens the channel for inquiring about the world. It creates the conditions for honest exchanges and aids in overcoming misunderstandings and building trust. If you are curious about someone or something it enables you to learn more.<br /> <br /> Listening is an action that requires the temporary suspension of one's own point of view. It opens the pathway to taking in a different viewpoint and understanding and empathizing with someone else, even if there is not agreement. True listening brings a closer understanding to the differences between perspectives and is essential to effective negotiation.<br /> <br /> Creating Dialogue is about asking the questions that get people to open up and share their perspective. It is the center piece of action between Integrity, Curiosity, and Listening. When a leader creates dialogue they create a situation for multiple people to listen to one another and develop a common vision.<br /> <br /> An effective elected official needs to understand the necessities and stories of the community they represent. They need to be able to synthesize the best course of action from their constituents. They need to have the Curiosity to care, the ability to Listen skillfully, and the Integrity to integrate different perspectives into a common course of action through creating Civic Dialogue. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading5-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse5-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse5-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse5-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse5-236397-2024-05-16" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading5-236397-2024-05-16"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> The ability to ask questions and create dialogue. I am a theater director who practices ensemble theater making. I work with finding the story within a community and bringing it to full expression. The first political campaign I worked on was Dr. David Brill's congressional campaign in 2018. During the course of that campaign I realized that my accumulated life skills in leading a performing arts group and creating collaborative expression paralleled the activities of political campaigns. I wrote a thesis for my Master's degree in Humanities at Prescott College titled "Election as Ceremony: Politics and the Art of Transformational Dialogue" It details the ways that ensemble theater practice can inform and improve political campaigns. Ultimately, I believe that an office holder should listen to the voices within the community they represent and distill a course of action that benefits that community. I believe this is best accomplished through deep practices of listening and asking questions. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading6-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse6-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse6-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse6-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse6-236397-2024-05-16" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading6-236397-2024-05-16"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> The primary annual job of a State Representative in Arizona is prepare and negotiate a budget that is approved by the State House and State Senate and signed by the Governor. Through this task a State Representative takes on the responsibility of guarding our collective resources and directing their use. The funding of state government agencies and public education is the responsibility of the state legislature. A state legislator provide access to resources for the citizen of Arizona through the allocation of our tax dollars. Conversely a state legislator is responsible for how much and what kind of taxation the citizens of Arizona incur. The balance is critical. A legislator should not spend money we don't have and when we have money it should be invested for the benefit of everyone.<br /> <br /> We are not getting our money's worth from the current legislature. Instead of Mis Appropriations for City Rodeos let's fund fire departments to keep our property insurance rates affordable. Let's rein in ESA Voucher giveaways that threaten to bankrupt our state. Let's make sure the agencies that are tasked to stop toxic mining interests have enough resources to protect our lands.<br /> <br /> State legislators are also the guarantors of our rights. Through legislation and legislators our constitutional rights, voting rights, marriage rights, religious rights, water rights, mineral rights, and property rights are protected. <br /> <br /> For example legislators write and create the laws that can allow or not allow municipalities to have local control over short term rentals (currently municipalities do not have this right - that is a problem)<br /> <br /> They could write laws that allow municipalities to approve or deny mining claims adjacent to municipalities.<br /> <br /> State Legislators determine the access to our resources and the direction of our budget. Our budgets reflect our priorities. Are you priorities reflected by the current legislature? </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading7-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse7-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse7-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse7-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What legacy would you like to leave? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse7-236397-2024-05-16" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading7-236397-2024-05-16"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> As a legislator I would like to leave a legacy of bringing civic dialogue back to the Arizona legislature.

I didn't realize at the time that I was watching a crisis in the American experiment at the time. <br /> <br /> The next historical political event that shaped my consciousness was the Iranian hostage crisis. I had to ask myself what were the historical forces at play that created such enmity towards the country I was from. <br /> <br /> Without a doubt the most personally impactful historical event of my life was the end of the Berlin Wall and the revolt of eastern Europe against Russia's communist dictatorship. As part of the detente between Gorbachev and Reagan at Rejkavik in 1986 I had been able to study German in East Germany at Dresden. I got to witness first hand the dysfunction of dictatorship and see its impact on people. I also got to see and understand the aftermath of fascism on the psyche of a nation when in my year of studying abroad in Tubingen, Germany. This led to me living in the former neighborhoods East Berlin, Germany after the fall of the wall from 1990 to 1997. These life experiences shaped my political consciousness as within a relatively short period of time I got to live within a failing communist dictatorship, a mild anarchy without a state, and reconstructive capitalism. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading9-236397-2024-05-16" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse9-236397-2024-05-16"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse9-236397-2024-05-16" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse9-236397-2024-05-16"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What was your very first job?

There would be discussion and consensus oriented processes to achieve agreed upon goals.<br /> <br /> Currently we have performative politics with the state legislature crafting bills that the governor won't sign because the people who elected the governor don't want extremist bills like banning voting centers or early voting to be approved. It is a waste of human and financial resource to craft bills that are simply 'performative' for pleasing your base. <br /> <br /> If there was a willingness on the part of the legislature to listen to the governor and respect the needs of the voters who elected the governor the legislature's time would be more productive serving the needs of Arizonans.<br /> <br /> Legislators should ultimately be a bridge between the towns and cities of the district and the governor's office.

This does not allow flexibility for redressing situations. Because of a recent flat tax cities and towns are receiving less money from the general fund and having to cut services. If the capacity of our state to create revenues is not addressed we are in danger of losing a competitive economic edge through flexibility in response.<br /> <br /> EDUCATION - We do not put forth proper effort in funding our public schools. We have the lowest percentage of our state GDP put towards education compared to all the states in the country. Without a good faith effort to invest in our public schools the quality of our public education will deteriorate and the ability to retain teachers will diminish. We need to stop allowing a free for all voucher giveaway that comes at the cost of public education being effectively funded.

We need to allow cities and towns to establish their own protocols rather than having the state legislature forbid local measures from being enacted.

This is basic. I like it when state agencies share with the public how they are spending their money and who is working for them and what projects they are focused on. <br /> <br /> If we don't have financial transparency and government accountability the social contract that holds democratic republics together starts to unravel. From open meeting law to candidates sharing their tax records there are traditions in our political history that urge transparency and accountability. The Boston Tea Party was a response to Divine King from a distant continent not disclosing where the tax revenues of the colonies went. <br /> <br /> Of course the public needs to participate and inform themselves of what their state agencies are doing. If there is not a demand and vigilance for transparency and accountability the worst of human instincts can emerge and initiate grift and corruption. <br /> <br /> Arizonans want accountability. The citizens of our state passed Stop Dark Money so we could see who was putting money into political ads.
