Federal government has forced a one-size-fits-all model on our education system.
Serving ice cream isn't exactly like serving in state government, but what I learned guides me today.
Arizona has three of the top 10 public high schools in the nation. We know how to educate a child. We just need to do it more often in more locations, and where we're having issues are in low-income areas where - where kids don't have a parent that cares or two parents that care, and, of course, also in our tribal nations.
I ran for public office to do something good.
When it comes to free speech and participation in the democratic process, our laws should reflect the goal of making it easier for more citizens to engage.
Our officers are on the front lines - the first to show up on the scene of a crime. They should be respected; not ridiculed. They and their families protected; not put at risk.
Speculation replaces fact. It's very easy to see news outlets running with information that is unconfirmed or erroneous.
I'm focusing on the issues that bring people together and build broad majorities.
To say that I'm going to veto something that I haven't read is just - or sign something that I haven't read - I don't think is good policy for any chief executive.
We can't let government make long-term commitments that it may not be able to keep.
Government must continue to live within its means.
We want to make sure Arizona residents have the opportunity to learn about the decisions we are making and have a chance to participate in the process.
I want to see us add more dollars to the classroom.
We all should be concerned if our kids don't know who Sandra Day O'Connor, John Adams, and Ronald Reagan are.
These are basic, nonpartisan, non-ideological questions. How many United States senators are there... who was the first president.
The Governor's Office is going to get out of the litigation business.
In our administration, we're going to follow the law, and any policy that we move forward will fall well within the law and the Arizona Constitution.
If you're old enough to father a child, then you're old enough to accept financial responsibility for that child. If you don't want your embarrassing, unlawful, and irresponsible behavior going viral, man up and pay up.
My philosophy is that I may not like all the questions that you ask, and you may not like all the answers that I give, but this is part of a transparent government.
I'm always concerned about how our state looks.
