I grew up learning to do more with less.

I will not support efforts that kill jobs in my district and lack provisions for responsibly transitioning us toward a clean-energy economy.

The Navajo Generating Station in Page, for example, employs hundreds of people, mostly Native Americans, and provides nearly all of the power for the Central Arizona Project. That means our entire state has a big stake in the energy production and economic stability of these plants.

I have always been an independent voice for the folks in my district.

I grew up learning to do more with less.

Both my mothers family and my fathers family go back almost a hundred years in the district. I was born in the district, raised in the district, raised my family in the district. And so thats the way I see myself.

When millions of Americans are tightening their belts, folks have the right to expect their elected officials to do the same.
