Refocus federal policy to lead with services and treatment, and end federal support for so-called "harm reduction" policies that have failed and are only enabling chronic street homelessness and drug use as a lifestyle.
Lake: It should be left to the states. I agree with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Everybody knew it was unconstitutional. We have the choice for Arizonans to decide what our abortion law will be, and we will decide in November. Ruben Gallego wants to take the choice away from us. He wants to bring it back to the federal government and take away our rights in Arizona. I want us to have that choice, and whatever the law ends up being I will respect.
Gallego: I would codify Roe. The fact that we have women that are traveling with their daughter who are victims of rape, out of state so they can get an abortion. A 10-year-old baby girl, victim of incest, had to leave her own state to get an abortion. The reason we need to codify it is because people like Kari Lake make this a dangerous situation. She said she was thrilled when Roe was overturned.
Gallego: We first have to accept that climate change is happening. We prepare by having a resilient grid. We need to bring in more energy, and that will have to be nuclear. We can continue the growth that we have in Arizona the manufacturing and residential to make sure we can beat that.
Gallego: I am not for illegals voting. She has caused harm to Arizona and have made us a laughingstock. She just said she wants to get rid of vote by mail. What we are seeing here is Kari Lake who still has not accepted that she lost the 2022 election. She will say and do anything to win, but Arizona is the one losing now.
Gallego: The border wall is important to the security package. it has to be coupled with technology and manpower. This is why it was important the bill passed because it had a lot of those elements. I have voted for border walls in the past. With the proper manpower and staffing, it does work. What does not work is a border wall without the manpower and laws you need to implement because it does not end up being of use. It just costs us money.
Gallego: I am a very lucky man. I am lucky to be born in the best country in this world, and by all accounts I should not be here. My mom raised us alone, and through a real belief in the American dream and a real want to succeed I got where I am. And my sisters. we have doctors, we have teachers, we have businesswomen in our small family. I want every Arizonan to fulfill that.
Ruben: We need to keep the middle-class portion of the tax cuts. The tax cuts to the corporations that made billions of dollars on price gouging those need to go up. She was actually for a bigger tax cut. That's ridiculous. We also need to bring in a child tax credit as part of that Trump tax cut, but giving more tax cuts to those not paying their fair share is unfair.
