Healthcare-industry campaign money

Contributions coded to the healthcare / health-services sector, per the cited sources (FollowTheMoney.org / OpenSecrets; the Arizona Secretary of State portal does not code donors by industry). Figures are the itemized ($200+) contributions the source coded to the health sector, shown per election cycle with the cycle labeled on each line; the total sums the cycles shown. OpenSecrets/FollowTheMoney only code itemized gifts, and Arizona’s Clean Elections public financing means many legislators show little or none — a small figure, or none, is itself part of the record, and where we checked and found none we say so.

B Our accountability grade
accountability & access to care — how we grade

Grade: B. A more substantive health record than his committee profile suggests. He prime-sponsored a cap on essential-drug price increases (HB2757) — real drug-pricing accountability — plus AHCCCS preventive-dental coverage, end-of-life-options, a PFAS public-health study, and even oversight of corporate/private-equity ownership of veterinary practices. His broader focus is water and energy, but on health he consistently pushed affordability and access, and nothing on his record limits it.
