Daniel Patterson is on your side
Economy and Jobs
I'm always working to improve jobs and the economy to promote economic prosperity and encourage business in my district and Tucson. At the capitol I am a friend of business and the forgotten middle-class. We must build a prosperous economy that rewards hard work, not just CEOs, corporations and the rich. I am endorsed by Labor and the pro-business Arizona Technology Council.
Water, Energy & Environment
I serve on the House Water and Energy Committee and lead by example by harvesting rainwater and producing solar power and hot water at my home. I fight for clean air and water. I support true energy independence by helping people go solar and use small wind power. As an ecologist and hunter, I'm a champion for wildlife. I have an 'A' environmental voting record winning the backing of Arizona League of Conservation Voters and Sierra Club-Grand Canyon Chapter.
Local Control
I favor local control. The state must better respect local city and county rights, and stop blocking local governments from protecting citizens. The Arizona League of Cities and Towns has twice awarded me as a 'friend'.
Public Safety
As a southside Tucson neighborhood President, I worked with police for years to successfully reduce crime. I am endorsed by the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police. I served on the Arizona House Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee.
Equal Rights and Civil Liberties
The state must respect and protect the rights of all, including the LGBT community. I support policies aimed at stopping racism, sexism and other discrimination. Arizona should always respect the Bill of Rights, protect privacy rights and responsible individual freedoms. I'm a proud gun owner who's earned a NRA 'B' rating.
Border and Immigration
I'm pushing the federal government for tough immigration reform to secure the border and fix our broken US immigration system. Immigrants must be required to pay back taxes and a fine, learn English, and pass criminal background checks on the path to legalization.
Transportation
I ride a bike, drive an efficient biodiesel powered vehicle and support clean cars & fuels. To improve safety, we must better protect drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. I'm working with ADoT, the feds and railroad to pursue Tucson-Phoenix commuter rail. I also back a metro-Tucson rail system, from northwest-downtown-southeast, and also south to Green Valley and Nogales.
Election Integrity
We must ensure everyone eligible can register and vote without hassle, that every vote counts and we can trust the outcome of all elections.
Health Care
We must cover as many people as possible, especially at-risk children, and protect critical health care programs. I am endorsed by the Arizona Nurses Association and Arizona Hopsital and Heathcare Association.
Kids and Education
My daughter attends public school in TUSD. We must listen to teachers. I work to keep state bureaucrats out of local schools’ business. The legislature must better support community colleges and universities as a critical investment in our future. I have a 100% pro-education voting record and the endorsement of the Arizona Education Association.
