What is the biggest problem with the way the office you are seeking is working and how do you solve it?
Morgan Abraham (D)For decades the legislature has underfunded our public schools, our infrastructure, our water future and has made no investments to flight climate change.
This year at the legislature I help negotiate a budget that added $1 billion to our schools and $500 million to our infrastructure . I also helped negotiate a water package that adds $1 billion to secure Arizona’s water future.
Next year I hope to build off that momentum and continue to add dollars into the classroom in Arizona, secure Arizona’s water future, and to fight climate change.
