I grew up learning to do more with less.

In Congress, I was a relentless advocate for fiscal responsibility.

I believe we must protect Medicares guaranteed benefit, and I will oppose any effort to dismantle Medicare and turn it into a voucher system.

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

Gabby Giffords was a mentor of mine in the state Legislature and also in Congress.

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

The EPA's [Clean Power Plan] is another example of Washington's lack of understanding when it comes to rural and Western energy issues. I oppose this new rule because it hurts my district, which has four coal-fired plants that power Arizona's big cities, small towns, businesses and residences. These plants also provide good-paying jobs in our tribal and rural regions.
