Every family in LD9 deserves to build a life without being crushed by rising costs. Jacob will work to lower everyday expenses by reducing costs for groceries, utilities, childcare, and transportation. He’ll champion tax relief for working families, crack down on predatory fees, and fight for policies that keep Arizona livable for those who call it home.

As a graduate of Mesa Public Schools and a longtime advocate for students, Jacob believes every child deserves a world-class education. He will push to fully fund our public schools, raise teacher pay, and ensure classrooms have the resources they need. Jacob will expand career and technical education so students can graduate with real-world skills, and protect public dollars from being siphoned into unaccountable voucher schemes.

Families across LD9 are being priced out of their own neighborhoods. Jacob will fight to expand affordable housing options, strengthen protections against price-gouging and predatory landlords, and support first-time homebuyers. He will work to increase housing supply responsibly, encouraging smart development near transit, jobs, and schools so everyone can find a home they can afford.

Water is Arizona’s most precious resource, and our state must treat it like it. Jacob will push for stronger groundwater protections, transparency around corporate water usage, and long-term planning that prioritizes Arizona families over out-of-state water speculators. He supports investment in modern water infrastructure, conservation efforts, and policies that ensure clean, reliable water for generations to come.
