WITHDREW 2026-03-13 from AZ-05 R primary — called to active-duty Air Force service; did not file nominating signatures. Direct quote: 'I am not going to be filing my signatures to run for Congress. As many of you have been speculating, I have been called into active-duty service for the Air Force.' Identity confirmed as former AZ House Speaker Pro Tempore (2021–2025) and current Lt Col / KC-135 pilot in the AZ Air National Guard. Scoring drawn from his 8-year AZ State House record: voted YES on HB2853 universal ESA expansion (2022 party-line 31–26); YES on HB2492 proof-of-citizenship-to-vote (2022); YES on SB1456 parental-consent-on-SOGI-sex-ed (2021); sponsored HB2310 anti-grooming bill; voted NO on 2024 repeal of 1864 territorial abortion ban (defending existing pro-life statute). DEVIATIONS noted: NumbersUSA snippet indicates openness to guest-worker pathways for some illegal entrants (softens border q1); active-duty USAF + ARSA aerospace-PAC support are interventionist signals (Industry Capture q4 risk); no public church affiliation found — Christian Liberty q0 null.
