ISSUES
These are the core principles Jay Schlum is committed to defending for Arizona.
PRO LIFE
Protect Every Unborn Child
Life begins at conception, and every baby in the womb is a human being with immeasurable worth.
Every child is made in the image of God and deserves the full protection of our laws. I will work to ensure Arizona defends unborn children at every stage by advancing legislation that safeguards life and by fighting to abolish abortion in our state constitution. Protecting the unborn is not just a policy position — it’s a moral responsibility.
TWO GENDERS
Uphold God’s Design for
Men and Women
There are two genders: male and female. This isn’t politics; it’s biological reality.
I will protect Arizona children from radical gender ideology by ensuring girls’ sports remain for biological females, keeping public restrooms clearly designated for men and women, and removing gender-neutral social experiments from our schools. Our laws and institutions should reflect truth, protect children, and reinforce the foundation of healthy families.
FREE SPEECH
Defend Every Arizonian's Right
to Speak Freely
The First Amendment is non-negotiable — every Arizonan has the right to speak the truth without fear.
I will oppose censorship in all its forms and fight to ensure schools, universities, and public institutions remain places where open debate and honest dialogue are welcomed. Any public college or university that silences or deplatforms conservative voices should lose taxpayer funding. Free speech is essential to a free society, and I will defend it relentlessly.
LOWER CRIME
Make Arizona Neighborhoods Safe Again
Every family deserves to feel safe in their own home, workplace, and community.
Crime is rising in Arizona, and we must stand firmly with the men and women who protect us. I will support police officers, sheriffs, and local law enforcement with the funding, staffing, and respect they need to keep our communities secure. We don’t need to defund the police — we need to invest in them, strengthen recruitment, and ensure fair pay for those who serve on the front lines.
DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS
Secure the Border.
Protect Arizona Families.
Arizona is on the front lines of America’s border crisis, and protecting our communities must come first.
I will support ICE, the National Guard, and federal and state border agencies to identify and remove dangerous individuals living illegally in our state. A secure border protects our families, strengthens our economy, and preserves our way of life. As President Trump has said: “A nation without borders is not a nation at all.” I will ensure Arizona takes that truth seriously.
CHILD SAFETY & EDUCATION
Excellence for our Children
Arizonans should be a state that offers great opportunities to our children.
(SCHLUMS TO PROVIDE)
ELECTION INTEGRITY
Every Legal Vote Must Count
Arizonans deserve absolute confidence in their elections.
I will work to clean up voter rolls, strengthen verification processes, and ensure accurate and timely vote counting. Protecting election integrity is essential to preserving our republic. Every legal vote must be counted — and every illegal vote must be prevented — so that the voice of every Arizona citizen is heard clearly and honestly.
