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.

D+ Our accountability grade
accountability & access to care — how we grade

Grade: D+. The Majority Leader’s prime health bills consistently narrow access: civil liability for gender-reassignment surgery (SB1094) that chills gender-affirming care, AHCCCS enrollment-verification tightening (SB1236), and prior authorization for AHCCCS antipsychotics (SB1672). No offsetting access or oversight record.
