If we fail to act, we are throwing away an opportunity to fund teacher pay raises and give Arizona’s children the opportunity they deserve – all without raising taxes on a single Arizonan. Let's get this done.

My plan: ✅ Delivers $216 million in FY26 for teacher pay, and makes the funding permanent. ✅ Provides $101 million in public school funding next year, with more to come over the next nine years. ✅ Protects the State Land Trust for sustainable, long-term education funding.

Today, I released a plan to extend Prop 123 and highlighted the urgent need for the Legislature to put a bipartisan proposal on the ballot for November 2025. Arizona's children can't afford for us to wait.

"Things like the specter of CRT, used as a catch-all term for any meaningful discussion of racism, & other perceived social agendas in schools have turned school board meetings hostile. As a result a # of school board candidates resigned..." @mrkotter tucson.com/partners/gop-lawm…

The #AEL will continue to be an issue for school districts even if the #azleg doesn’t put a single add'l💵into school funding this year. We were over the AEL by $1.3B TY even w/ no increase in school dist budgets for next year, we would be over $900,000M azsba.org/asba-connect-2-23-…
