2024 AZ Senate race: on Principles & Values


Ruben Gallego: America can be a responsible leader on the world stage

Ruben knows that our adversaries, including China, Russia, and Iran, are trying every day to threaten the safety of Arizona families. But as Ruben has said throughout Russia's invasion of Ukraine, America has what it takes to be a responsible leader on the world stage and stand up to enemies of democracy. Through Arizona's military communities, innovative manufacturing, world-class universities, and our people, he believes that Arizona can be at the forefront of that mission.

Ruben Gallego: Catholicism taught him to help the poor and disadvantaged

For Gallego, Catholicism instilled in him a deep belief that he is to help the poor and disadvantaged members of society, which he said has played a role in sculpting his political career. "Those are two areas where … the Catholic Church are diametrically opposed to where I stand," said Gallego, who is pro-choice on the question of abortion and who supports same-sex marriage.

Mark Lamb: Living abroad gave him a deep appreciation for America

A few years later Mark was called to serve a church mission in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He enjoyed their food, culture, and beautiful country, but this is also where he learned the value of freedom and a strong economy. The experience of living abroad has given him a deep appreciation for America and the freedoms we enjoy.

Kari Lake: I want kids to dream big, make American dream a reality

Lake: No matter what color your skin, what neighborhood you are from, we went to make sure we have a strong economy. We want to fully fund our police. On day one we will get to secure the border, we will get the criminals who invaded our country out, and we will bring back that strong, thriving economy. If there's any kids watching, I don't want you to worry. I want you to dream big. We are going to turn this country around and your American dream will become reality.

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.
