Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I launched in the face of having coming off of the most successful legislative session that we've had under my tenure as in a divided government.
And I think our state is stronger because I have continued to focus on
Arizonans first and the politics last.
I've taken on the tough challenges that so many of my predecessors, career politicians have ignored for years.
And we got stuff done because I'm willing to work with anyone to deliver for Arizonans on the tough issues we're facing.
When extremists in the legislature sent me a partisan budget that slashed services for Arizonans across the state, I vetoed it and I forced them back to the table.
And what we got instead was this bipartisan balance budget that delivers for Arizona families in contrast to the partisan Washington budget that skyrockets the debt, that slashes Medicaid for millions of Americans.
We protected healthcare for 60,000 Arizonans with disabilities.
Their budget slashes meals for kids and nutrition assistance.
My budget invests in school meals for 68,000 kids from working families.
Their budget cuts law enforcement budget.
My budget gives much deserved raises for state police and fire.
Their budget makes college unaffordable for so many Americans.
My budget invests in community college scholarships so more Arizonans have access.
The list goes on and on, but these are the kinds of things you can get done.
when you're focused on working with anyone who wants to come to the table with solutions and you're focused on the people who sent you to the capital to deliver on these issues.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
I'm really not sure what ideology you come from when you think that government shouldn't be there to help the people who elected you to serve in that government, like ripping away healthcare and thinking that you're helping Americans by doing that.
And then also you played the clip about the courts, like the courts are an important check and balance and obviously they don't want to be checked on their abuses of power right now.
