Yeah, absolutely.

Whether it's health care costs or any other costs that when I talk to Arizonans, the thing I hear the most about this president is, look, he ran on lowering costs.

He says he won because costs were too high and he was going to do something about that.

He's doing exactly the opposite, whether it's these insurance premiums that we're going to see going up or

ripping away Medicaid that's going to also drive up insurance premiums for everyone, or the tariffs, his trade war, that is like the biggest tax we've ever seen that's making costs go up everywhere for businesses, for Arizonans.

It is exactly the opposite of what he ran on.

And Biggs and the other two Republicans that are in this primary against me are the biggest cheerleaders for these failed Washington policies at the expense of Arizonans.

Yeah, so economic growth is a huge priority for me.

I have worked to continue creating good paying jobs.

Under my tenure, we've created over 100,000 jobs.

And Arizona is one of 12 states right now that's experiencing economic expansion.

But, you know, there is this climate of uncertainty from the trade war, from so many other policies that are just creating uncertainty.

When I talk to small business owners, whether it's from the tariffs or other factors, they're

you know, very cautious about making growth plans about hiring.

So that's definitely impacting us.

But I continue to keep my head down to focus on what's right for Arizonans and move forward on those policies again with

whoever wants to work with me to solve these challenges you brought up housing housing is a huge issue not just here in arizona but across the country and i know here in arizona the housing costs um have gone up and that didn't happen overnight we're not going to solve it overnight but we're taking aggressive action to help address it i invested huge amounts in our state's housing trust fund where we've been able to build thousands of units of affordable housing

We use that fund to invest in down payment assistance so Arizona families could purchase their first home.

I've signed legislation that cuts red tape to allow for faster approvals, to allow for missing middle and other housing like accessory dwelling units or casitas.

I signed water legislation this year that will also help solve some of our water issues by converting high use agricultural land to housing and build the housing we need in some of the fastest growing areas of our state.
