Arizona has always had an election system with a partisan primary, where voters who associate with one party nominate a candidate or candidates who most align with their values to represent them on the general election ballot. Recently, special interests have tried to change this simple system and force a faulty one called Jungle Primaries which results in candidates from only one political party appearing on the ballot. Prop 133 would strengthen our existing constitutional requirement to hold direct, partisan primaries, ensuring voters have a choice on the general election ballot.

Every year, out of state special interests pour millions of dollars into Arizona to put bad ideas on the ballot by collecting most of the required signatures in heavily populated areas including Phoenix and Tucson, stripping the rest of Arizona from having any say. If passed, Prop 134 would require citizen initiatives to collect signatures in every legislative district, ensuring that only measures with support from Arizonans – urban and rural – make it on the ballot.

Recent COVID lockdowns made very clear that executives – Governors and the President – have been given far too much “emergency” power. There is a place for executive response, but powers must be temporary and limited. Prop 135 would automatically terminate emergency powers 30 days after one is declared, empower the legislature to call themselves into a special session with just 1/3 of the members and with a simple majority terminate or alter an emergency declaration, restoring checks and balances and preventing future COVID like lockdowns.

Each election cycle, out of state special interests spend millions to buy their bad ideas onto our ballot. Sometimes, those measures are unconstitutional. Often, they know it, but force a costly campaign and litigation after it has passed. Prop 136 would allow a person to challenge the constitutionality of a measure before it gets on the ballot, and if deemed by the courts unconstitutional, prevent it from proceeding in the election. This protects the ballot from unconstitutional measures that confuse voters.

Instead of judges regularly appearing on the ballot for retention, this constitutional amendment would only put judges on the ballot if they are convicted of certain crimes or if the judge does not meet judicial performance standards.

In 2016, ballot measure passed that increased the minimum wage and set it to automatically increase every year with inflation. Under that measure, employers can pay tipped wage employees $3 less than the minimum wage as long as the employee makes at least minimum wage with tips. There is currently a measure that would further increase the minimum wage and eliminate the ability for employers to pay tipped wage employees below the minimum wage, which would decimate the service industry. Prop 138 protects the food service industry by allowing employers to pay tipped employees 25% less than minimum wage as long as their combined wage and tip income is greater than the minimum wage plus two dollars.

The federal government administers a death benefit for the family members of first responders killed or permanently disabled in connection with their work which is currently a payout of $437,503. This measure would create a state fund for an additional benefit of $250,000, funded by a new $20 fee for every criminal penalty imposed by the state.

When cities fail to enforce their ordinances against homeless encampments and public nuisances, property owners bear the brunt and cost of protecting their homes and businesses. Prop 312 would allow affected property owners to be reimbursed for some of those costs up to their property tax liability. Those taxes ought to be funding the cities’ law enforcement to protect their communities from crime and degradation, so when cities fail to uphold their obligations, there should be a remedy for afflicted property owners and that remedy is Prop 312.

Increases the penalty for a person convicted of a class 2 felony for child sex trafficking to a mandatory sentence of natural life, without eligibility for parole.

The Biden Administration has abandoned our country’s southern border completely leaving Arizona prey to a flood of illegal crossings including by cartels and foreign adversaries. Consequently, Arizona communities are being victimized by a rise in violent crimes and an inundation of drugs, especially fentanyl. Prop 314, The Secure the Border Act, enacts a law allowing state law enforcement to apprehend persons who have entered the state outside a legal port of entry, detain them, and provide the option of self-deportation.

Requires legislative ratification of any regulation adopted by an agency if the regulation is expected to cost more than $500,000 to implement. If the legislature does not ratify the regulation, it may not be implemented.

Extends a half cent sales tax for 20 years to fund a $64 Billion “transportation “plan that allocates a majority of the money to transit projects and road diets and will ultimately lead to more congestion. *Maricopa County only
