Water

Without water, property values plummet and the economy comes to a screeching halt. Yet, even with this severe shortage, Republicans have been giving away our water for free to a foreign corporation that grows and exports alfalfa for their livestock in Saudi Arabia. As your legislator, I will stop this practice and fight to protect Arizonans’ right to our own water.

For years, Democrats have run bills to address the water shortage that Republicans have refused to even hear. We must ensure we have the tools we need to measure how much water we have left, and how we can plug the holes. We should be incentivizing farmers to transition from flood irrigation to other proven water-saving methods, and incentivizing those of us in metropolitan areas to use more efficient plumbing fixtures, harvest rainwater, transition to desert landscaping and more.
