Issues

Arizona, often referred to as the desert state, has long grappled with water scarcity. Our rapidly growing population and changing climate patterns have exacerbated this issue.

Our reliance on the Colorado River, which is already stretched to its limits, demands immediate attention and forward-thinking policies. Our elected leaders have delayed action on the water crisis for far too long. Foreign companies have been pumping water out of Arizona. We must protect the water we already have. As your representative, Stephanie pledges to champion a multi-pronged approach to address the water crisis. 

• We must prioritize conservation. We cannot afford to be wasteful with this precious resource. By reducing our water usage, we can better ensure a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren.

• We must also invest in water infrastructure. Outdated systems lead to significant water losses through leaks and evaporation. I will work tirelessly to secure funding to upgrade and modernize our water infrastructure, ensuring that we capture and distribute water more efficiently.

• We need to foster innovation. Arizona is home to some of the brightest minds in the world, and we should harness that talent to develop innovative water technologies and practices. Stephanie will advocate for research and development grants to support projects aimed at desalination, water recycling, and efficient irrigation techniques.

Addressing the water crisis cannot be separated from our broader environmental responsibilities. Climate change is exacerbating drought conditions and impacting our ecosystems. As your representative, Stephanie will support measures to reduce our carbon footprint and transition to cleaner, renewable energy sources. This not only mitigates climate change but also reduces the strain on our water resources.

The water crisis and environmental challenges we face are complex and interconnected. But together, Stephanie knows we can rise to meet these challenges. She is committed to working tirelessly for you, to ensure that our state remains a vibrant and sustainable place to live, work, and raise our families. By investing in conservation, infrastructure, innovation, and responsible environmental policies, Stephanie knows we can secure a brighter future for all of us.
