About Me:
I was elected on Nov. 7, 2006 by the people of Arizona's Fifth District to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. In Congress, I have been committed to honoring our veterans, practicing fiscal responsibility, securing the border, and investing in stem cell research.

I previously served as the Mayor of Tempe, Arizona, where I led the efforts to revitalize Tempe's downtown area, including laying the foundation for the Rio Salado Project and Tempe Town Lake.

I also served in the Arizona State Senate, where I helped grow Arizona's economy and shape Arizona State University into a world-class academic institution.

I taught American government and economics at Tempe High School, the same high school I graduated from, for 28 years. I also served as an adjunct professor at my alma mater, ASU.

Me and my high school sweetheart Marianne, who taught at Scottsdale's Coronado High School, Tempe High School and Ahwatukee's Mountain Pointe High School, have been married for 47 years, and have lived in the same house in Tempe for more than 40 years. We have two children and five beautiful grandchildren, who all live in Tempe.

Arizona's Fifth Congressional District includes Scottsdale, Tempe, Fountain Hills, Ahwatukee, Mesa, Chandler, Rio Verde, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian Community.
