As our economy advances, our government and our laws need to modernize, too.
If there's one thing Arizona is best in the nation at, it's water.
Governors compete. States compete. People & businesses decide.
A great economy requires great public schools.
I'm committed as governor to valuing and nurturing our relationships with our friends to the south.
I've repeated time and again that Arizona is open for business.
I honestly believe that we are Arizonans and Americans first, not merely advocates for our respective political parties.
I hope you'll find that my campaign was a reflection of how I plan to govern - bringing people together, building coalitions, and finding common ground.
We don't want Arizona to be dependent on the whims of Barack Obama and the federal government.
We want to control our own destiny and take responsibility for our own outcomes.
As CEO of Cold Stone Creamery, we used a concept called 'search and reapply,' which meant that if we found better ways of doing something, then we would do it.
I've visited schools all across our state, and the message is clear. Our kids have needs today, and our educators need more resources to do their jobs.
As our economy advances, educational attainment is going to keep Arizona competitive.
Earning a certificate or degree, or both, after high school opens the door to countless economic opportunities.
I built a company, a team, and a brand that started right here. It was an American success story, and it started right here in Arizona.
If you saw a better idea or business anywhere in the world, and you could reapply it legally and ethically and with attribution, you were supposed to do that. And I used that learning in building Cold Stone.
I built a company; now, I would like to shrink a government and grow an economy.
I'm a believer in private enterprise, the dignity of work, limited government, and the possibilities of freedom.
I am a believer in the rights of the unborn and the goodness of every life, and I have promised that, as governor, I will champion those values.
We think that this message - of someone that's from the private sector that built a company and now wants to shrink a government and grow an economy - is a winning message.
