“People over profits. Community over politics.”
Ian’s top priorities
-
Ian believes that safe, affordable housing is a basic right—and that Arizona has the opportunity to lead a new era of housing development. Across the state, especially in Tribal and rural communities, families face overcrowding, rising costs, and limited access to quality homes.
Ian is championing a smart housing approach—homes that are built not just to meet demand, but to improve quality of life. That means investing in infrastructure, supporting sustainable and energy-efficient building, and designing communities that are healthier, more resilient, and connected.
He will work to expand affordable housing, cut red tape that delays construction, and strengthen partnerships with Tribes to ensure solutions are community-driven. Ian’s goal is to spur a new generation of housing that is innovative, accessible, and built for the future—so every family has a place to call home.

Ian is committed to lowering costs for working families while strengthening local economies across Arizona—especially in Tribal and rural communities. He understands that affordability isn’t just about cutting expenses, it’s about creating real economic opportunity, supporting small businesses, and keeping dollars circulating locally.
A key part of Ian’s plan is addressing the barriers that hold Tribal and rural economies back. Today, many businesses operating on Native lands face dual taxation—paying both state and Tribal taxes—which discourages investment and limits growth. Ian will work to draft legislation that eliminates this burden and creates a fairer, more competitive environment for businesses.
He also supports establishing targeted tax credits for businesses that choose to operate on Tribal lands, helping to attract investment, create jobs, and build long-term economic stability. By empowering local entrepreneurs and removing structural barriers, Ian’s goal is to make Arizona more affordable while driving sustainable economic growth in Tribal and rural communities.

Ian is committed to protecting Arizona’s environment and defending the natural resources that Tribal and rural communities rely on. From rising temperatures to scarce water supplies, climate change is already impacting families, agriculture, and ecosystems across Legislative District 6.
A cornerstone of Ian’s plan is establishing a State-Tribal Climate Accord, creating a formal partnership between Arizona and Tribal governments to coordinate climate action, protect water resources, and promote sustainable land management. He also supports investments in renewable energy, conservation programs, and infrastructure that safeguard both the environment and local livelihoods.
For Ian, protecting the land and water isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a matter of justice. He believes Tribal communities must have a central voice in decisions that affect their lands and resources, ensuring that climate solutions are equitable, locally driven, and resilient for generations to come.

Ian believes every student deserves a high-quality education—without fear of financial barriers. He is committed to strengthening public schools in Tribal and rural communities, ensuring students have the resources, teachers, and programs they need to succeed.
No child should be afraid to go to school because their family can’t afford supplies, activities, or basic support. Ian also champions higher education access, working to support institutions like Diné College and other Tribal colleges so that the next generation of Native leaders can thrive. His vision is an education system that is equitable, culturally relevant, and gives every student the tools to succeed in their community and beyond.
