In Congress, JoAnna will work to lower costs by cracking down on price gouging costing families an extra $2,000 a year by strengthening consumer protections and stopping unfair price disparities in rural communities.

She will work to modernize the Child Tax Credit to deliver relief to working families and oppose reckless tariffs that drive up costs.

In Congress, JoAnna will work to support small businesses, bring good-paying jobs back to our cities and towns, and ensure that companies who put roots down in Arizona hire and retain workers from our communities.

JoAnna also strongly supports the right to unionize and believes workers should be treated with dignity and have a fair shot at the American Dream.
Issue Position
JoAnna supports banning members of Congress, their families, and other top government officials from trading individual stocks while in office.

She will work to strengthen transparency laws, and ensure that the public can clearly see how decisions are made and how taxpayer dollars are spent.

$10 $35 $100 $250 $500 Other Contribute Jo's Positions Lowering Costs & Protecting Our Families and Seniors As a working mom, JoAnna knows what it’s like to stretch a dollar and worry about rising costs.

Issue Position
Next Issue Strengthening our Healthcare System

$10 $35 $100 $250 $500 Other Contribute Jo's Positions Strengthening our Healthcare System JoAnna knows firsthand how critical access to healthcare is.

Growing up, her family relied on Medicaid, and that access allowed her to grow up healthy and strong enough to go on to serve her country in military uniform for 20 years.

That experience shaped her belief that every child and family deserves that same opportunity to live a healthy life.

Healthcare today costs too much.

Everyone, regardless of their insurance coverage, feels the pinch when millions of people lose access to healthcare.

Rural healthcare facilities across Southern Arizona are especially at risk because of the cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

That’s why JoAnna will work to reverse disastrous cuts to healthcare, including to AHCCCS and enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

In Congress, JoAnna will fight to protect healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions, expand the number of prescription drug prices Medicare can negotiate, and invest in training more doctors and nurses.

She opposes privatizing Medicare, which would lead to higher prices and worse care for patients, and supports expanding coverage to include vision, hearing, and dental.

Like thousands of others in the district, JoAnna gets her healthcare from the Tucson VA Medical Center.

She will always fight to protect veterans’ healthcare and benefits, and will be a vocal opponent of cuts to the VA.

In Congress, JoAnna will fight to restore funding to the VA that were the result of the reckless DOGE cuts.. She will work to expand VA specialty care in rural communities, increase access through telehealth and mobile services, and fix transportation barriers by improving eligibility and reimbursement rates.

She will support legislation that strengthens mental health services, expands housing support, and invests in job training and transition programs.

Next Issue National Security and Standing with Our Allies
Issue Position
In her first 100 days, JoAnna will bring Congress back to the community by reinstating town halls and launching “Congress in Your Community” events across AZ-06 – including rural and underserved areas – so that every Arizonan has a direct line to their representative.
Issue Position
Social Security is a lifeline for older Arizonans who have worked their entire lives, paid into the system, and deserve to retire with dignity.

And as someone with an aging parent, she knows that the social security benefit isn’t enough to cover basic necessities.

JoAnna will oppose any efforts to cut seniors’ hard-earned benefits.

She strongly supports strengthening Social Security and exploring ways to increase benefits, especially for seniors living on fixed incomes.
Issue Position
JoAnna will also work to modernize how Congress connects with constituents by adopting a mobile-first constituent engagement platform to provide real-time updates on legislation, explain how decisions impact families, and give constituents a direct way to raise concerns, report issues, and share their experiences.

JoAnna will also work to modernize VA electronic health records to improve coordination of care and strengthen protections against predatory “claim sharks” who exploit veterans seeking benefits.
Issue Position
Throughout her life, she has always answered the call to serve—whether by defending the United States from enemies abroad, training the military leaders of tomorrow, or advocating for veterans as they navigate the dysfunctional systems meant to support their transition to civilian life.

Next Issue Keeping Our Promise to Veterans

$10 $35 $100 $250 $500 Other Contribute Keeping Our Promise to Veterans Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District is home to more than 80,000 veterans and such key military installations as Davis Monthan Air Force Base and Fort Huachuca.

She is committed to caring for our nation’s veterans and military families.

Above all, she will fight to fully fund and protect the VA to ensure no veteran is left behind.
