• Voting Record (if Incumbent): Review their legislative history on www.azleg.gov for votes on key issues like border security (Proposition 314) or healthcare bills. Check attendance at Arizona Republican House Caucus meetings, committee meetings, and floor votes – look for disengagement of incumbents.

A2.  As a constitutional conservative Republican, I am committed to limited government, personal liberty, deregulation and the preservation of Arizona’s values. My priorities include securing our borders, defending election integrity, promoting individualized patient-provider healthcare, and supporting LD7’s rural communities through policies that protect water rights, agriculture, and energy independence. I stand firmly against government overreach, burdensome regulations, and policies that undermine individual freedom. As a non-incumbent, I have no voting record, but my legislative advocacy demonstrates my commitment to conservative principles. I have contributed to over 100 bills across 35+ states, including seven in Arizona, such as Senate Bills 1469 and 1162 (2022) to enhance opioid monitoring while preserving patient choice, and House Bill 2291 (2025), co-authoring the Rare Disease Advocacy Bill (HB 2380). These efforts prioritize transparency, accountability, and minimal government intervention, aligning with constitutional conservative values. As Elected PCRC D5 Precinct Committeeman and AZ State Committeeman through 2026, I actively engage in Republican Party initiatives, ensuring LD7’s voice is heard. My campaign is grassroots-driven, funded by individual Arizonans who share my vision for limited government and personal responsibility. Contributions are transparent and available on the Arizona Secretary of State’s website (www.azsos.gov). I reject influence from special interest groups or PACs that push anti-conservative agendas, ensuring my loyalty remains with LD7 voters. My consistent message—delivered through speeches, interviews, and posts on platforms like X—champions border security (supporting Proposition 314), Second Amendment rights, election integrity, bolstering school choice and policies that empower Arizonans to thrive without government interference. I have appeared in over 2,000 media outlets, advocating for patient freedom and conservative solutions to healthcare challenges. My record is clean, with no lawsuits, ethics violations, or scandals. I invite voters to verify these claims through credible sources like www.azleg.gov, www.azsos.gov, and my public statements. My record reflects a steadfast commitment to constitutional conservative principles, ensuring LD7 and Arizona remain bastions of liberty and opportunity.

Q3. Engage Directly with the Candidate – Legislative Experience and Effectiveness

• Personal interaction reveals character, responsiveness, and policy depth.
• Attend Public Events: Visit town halls, debates, or meet-and-greets. Ask pointed questions. Gauge their knowledge and empathy.
• Request a Meeting: As a prominent advocate, request a one-on-one (in-person or virtual meeting) to discuss your priorities—healthcare reform, patient rights, or mental health funding. Assess their willingness to listen to a variety of voters.
• Submit Written Questions: Send a questionnaire covering your criteria. Set a deadline to test responsiveness, a key trait for state legislators.
• Observe Body Language: Watch for sincerity or discomfort when they address tough issues.
• Action: Document their answers and demeanor. Share insights with your community to crowdsource feedback.

A3.  My legislative track record is robust, with hands-on experience shaping policy. I authored Arizona Senate Bill 1469 & 1162 (2022), both passed into law giving enhance the Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program while protecting patient privacy and better access to patient care. I also authored House Bill 2291 and co-authored House Bill 2380 (Rare Disease Advocacy Bill), both advancing healthcare access in 2025. All 4 bills do not add any fiscal responsibility to the AZ budget.  My work on 100+ bills across 35 states, including testifying before Congress and the FDA, shows I can navigate Arizona’s divided trifecta to pass meaningful laws not junk bills. 

Q4. Evaluate Policy Positions and Legislative Viability – Community Engagement and Accessibility

• Assess the candidate’s platform and ability to deliver in Arizona’s political landscape.
• Review Campaign Platform: Check their website or materials for detailed positions. Compare them to Republican priorities (e.g., Heritage Action’s 2024 scorecard) and your advocacy goals).
• Legislative Feasibility: Consider their ability to navigate Arizona’s divided trifecta.
• Track Record on Key Issues: If they’ve held office, review their sponsorship of bills. For newcomers, evaluate their public advocacy or community work.
• Alignment with District Needs: Ensure they address local issues/district specific needs.
• Action: Score their platform against your checklist. Discuss with local Republican leaders (e.g., precinct committeemen) to gauge their legislative potential.
• Action: Compile feedback into a pros-and-cons list. Host a discussion (e.g., at a Republican club meeting) to refine your assessment.

A4.  I’m deeply rooted in LD7, living in Pinal County with my husband, Ken Taylor since 2006, and serving as a precinct committeeman, state delegate, poll worker and poll observer. My Barby Zone Podcast, “Barby-Q for Life” fundraiser in 2025 and bonfires bring our community together, and my NERVEmber initiative raises nerve pain awareness globally. I engage through town halls, X posts, participation in civic and military organizations and iPain events, ensuring constituents voices are heard. My 2024 campaign showed my commitment to my accessibility, and I pledge regular constituent meetings to address local needs like HOA reforms and healthcare access.

Q5. Assess Commitment and Accessibility – Alignment with Conservative Values and Integrity and Transparency

• Test the candidate’s dedication to serving and staying connected.
• Campaign Activity: Evaluate their effort—door-knocking, forums, or social media engagement. A candidate who skips events (like caucus meetings) may neglect constituents post-election.
• Responsiveness: Email or call their campaign with a question.
• Community Presence: Check if they attend local events (e.g., Apache Junction town halls)
• Post-Election Plan: Ask how they’ll stay accountable (e.g., regular town halls, newsletters).
• Action: Track their responsiveness and presence over a month.

A5.  My conservative values—personal responsibility, limited government, and individual liberty—align with the Arizona Republican GOP, Christians, Conservatives, Constitutional Republicans, and LD7 voters. I support Second Amendment rights, school choice, border security, pro-life, and election integrity, reflecting the party’s platform. My 2024 campaign and work with groups like the PCRC show my commitment to constitutional conservatism. As a patient advocate, I fight government overreach, to protect Arizonans’ God-given rights. Integrity is my cornerstone. My 20+ years of advocacy, 45+ awards, and transparent media presence (2,000+ appearances) prove my honesty, transparency and accountability. My campaign finances, available on www.azsos.gov, show no ties to special interests. I’ve called out regulatory failures, like the FDA’s two-day PMR review window, and I’ll bring that same candor to the House, ensuring LD7 voters know where I stand. Unlike absentees who skip caucus meetings, I’m committed to open, consistent service.

Q6. Monitor Red Flags and Deal Breakers – Ability to Navigate Arizona’s Political Landscape

• Identify issues that disqualify a candidate.
• Inconsistent Values: Flip-flopping on core issues undermines trust.
• Ethical Lapses: Any hint of corruption, dishonesty, or conflicts of interest is a non-starter.
• Neglect of Duty: Missing critical meetings (e.g., every caucus session) or failing to engage with constituents signals they’ll prioritize personal interests over public service.

A6.  As a constitutional conservative, I am prepared to navigate Arizona’s divided trifecta with principled coalition-building to advance LD7’s priorities—border security, patient-driven healthcare, and rural prosperity (water and agriculture). My proven track record, demonstrates my ability to deliver conservative outcomes while engaging across aisles without compromising my morals or deep rooted Republican values. I’ve countered Governor Hobbs’ vetoes by mobilizing grassroots support, rallying Arizonans to uphold limited government and personal liberty. As an elected PCRC D5 Precinct Committeeman and AZ State Committeeman, I’ve forged strong relationships with Republican leaders, ensuring LD7’s voice drives conservative policy. My expertise from contributing to over 100 bills across 35+ states equips me to break through political gridlock and protect Arizona’s sovereignty. Looking to 2026, I enthusiastically support electing Congressman Andy Biggs as Governor to restore unified conservative leadership, alongside maintaining Republican majorities in the House and Senate. With my commitment to election integrity, Second Amendment rights, and energy independence, I will fight for policies that empower LD7 and all Arizonans to thrive, free from government overreach.

Q7. Make an Informed Decision – Commitment to Constituent Needs

• Synthesize your findings to choose the best candidate or guide your endorsement.
• Compare Candidates: If multiple candidates are running (e.g., in a primary), rank them based on your checklist. Use a scoring system (e.g., 1–10 for each criterion) for objectivity.
• Endorse or Oppose: If a candidate excels (or fails), make a public stance.
• Stay Engaged: Even after choosing, monitor the candidate’s actions.
• Action: Finalize your decision by a set date (e.g., before the primary).
