My Vision for Arizona
Reproductive Rights
Protect our rights and access to the full suite of healthcare options including abortion
- With Roe v. Wade overturned, it's more important than ever to elect state-level champions for our reproductive rights
- Priya recently gave birth to her second child and has firsthand experience with the pregnancy process and its risks
- Priya is the ONLY candidate in this race endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, Arizona List, and Emily's List
Read Priya's op-ed on the importance of access to all healthcare options including abortion: https://tucson.com/opinion/local/local-opinion-i-needed-every-health-care-option-available-during-my-recent-pregnancy/article_a61ede3e-fd41-11ec-b830-57c307b17ef5.html
Public Education
As an educator, product of Tucson public schools, and mother of two, Priya wants to improve public education funding and opportunities for all children
- Increase teacher pay to improve teacher retention and recruitment
- Hire more teachers and support staff for lower teacher-student ratios
- Provide Universal School Meals for low-income children without stigma
Water Security
Equitably solve Arizona water issues through conservation and efficiency
- Extend groundwater management coverage to more of the state
- Incentivize more efficient water use by agriculture and industry
- Make rainwater and greywater use more accessible and attainable for commercial and rental properties
Renewable Energy
Make Arizona a renewable energy leader and address climate change
- Making solar panel installation more accessible for commercial and rental properties
- Work with Arizona Corporation Commission to accelerate the return on investment by solar customers
- Incentivize battery storage by consumers and utilities to improve distributed energy generation
NOTE: Priya is the ONLY candidate in this race who rejects money from utilities and fossil fuel companies.
Protect our Democracy
Strengthen our democracy and protect voting rights
- I would propose legislation to add Vote Centers across Arizona
- Restore and strengthen the Permanent Early Voter List (PEVL)
- Allow completed and sealed ballots to be collected by neighbors and friends for submission
NOTE: Priya is the ONLY candidate in this race who has led voter protection efforts and fought against gerrymandering
