Dear friends and neighbors,
Hot off the presses — the Arizona House Majority Report is here.
As you know, the Arizona House of Representatives released the 2025 Majority Plan back in January: https://azhousegop.com/2025-majority-plan/
In that plan, House Republicans outlined our top goals for the first session of the 57th Legislature. Now that the session has ended — and as we close out the year — we are proud to release The Majority Report, a full accounting of what we accomplished, what we’re still fighting for, and what we’re focused on as we move into the second legislative session in 2026.

Let me give you a quick summary of what you’ll find inside:
Preserving the American Dream (page 6)
House Republicans delivered real wins for working families, small businesses, and rural Arizona.
We:
-Nearly doubled the small-business equipment tax exemption to $500,000, helping entrepreneurs grow and hire.
-Invested $1 million to defend Arizona’s Colorado River rights and safeguard future water security.
-Passed housing reforms to legalize backyard homes and unlock farmland for new homes — lowering costs and increasing options for working families.
-Blocked harmful groundwater cuts and challenged illegal water taxes to protect responsible water users.
-Approved utility securitization to reduce power bills and ensure reliable energy infrastructure.
-Delivered more than $11 million in rural water projects, bringing infrastructure upgrades exactly where they’re needed most.

Promoting Public Safety (page 6)
We backed law enforcement, strengthened border security efforts, and invested in wildfire prevention.
We:
-Secured a 15% raise for state firefighters and a 5% raise for DPS troopers and dispatchers.
-Created a Fire Preparedness Committee and passed wildfire-mitigation requirements to better protect homes and communities.
-Enacted harsher penalties for fentanyl traffickers, gang violence, and child predators.
-Blocked dangerous proposals for taxpayer-funded drug injection sites.
-Cleaned up abandoned mines and expanded livestock-disease prevention to protect rural Arizona.

Protecting Individual Rights & Liberties (page 7)
We advanced policies that protect elections, families, and freedom from government overreach.
We:
-Advanced voter-roll cleanup and blocked foreign election money — preserving the integrity of Arizona’s elections.
-Strengthened parental rights in health care, even as the Governor tried to shut parents out.
-Referred a constitutional amendment to ban discriminatory race- and sex-based hiring preferences.
-Passed tech-oversight legislation to protect free speech and shine a light on government dealings.

Government That Works
We pushed accountability, transparency, and fiscal responsibility.
We:
- Expanded audit authority to uncover waste and abuse, ensuring government works for taxpayers — not special interests.
- Reformed the Governor’s rogue rulemaking council to restore checks and balances.
- Increased oversight of crypto kiosks, financial crimes, and politically connected nonprofits.
- Passed a crypto seizure and financial reserve bill — vetoed by the Governor, blocking common-sense fiscal protections.

Let's keep the hard work going for Arizona
This report is more than a list — it’s a roadmap for how we will govern in 2026 with discipline, vision, and a deep commitment to the people of Arizona.
And as Majority Leader, I’m proud of how our caucus continues to deliver for families, protect freedoms, and hold the line against policies that would weaken the state we love.
