Speculation replaces fact. It's very easy to see news outlets running with information that is unconfirmed or erroneous.

Running to do a job as important as the governor's shouldn't be easy; it should take a lot of work, and I'm out there giving my best every day.

It's very easy for people to say what's wrong with education in Arizona, but if I'm elected as governor, I want to focus on what we're doing well and maximizing the impact of what we know is working.

I want to see us add more dollars to the classroom.

States with better-educated citizens also see economic benefits. These states have better luck recruiting and retaining quality employers, and they enjoy lower overall rates of unemployment, poverty, and welfare dependency.

I don't have a real attraction or interest to national politics, so I want to see Republicans win across the board in the state of Arizona, because those policies of lower taxes and lighter regulation and strong foreign policy are important to me.
