Ice cream brings people together.

Some people never learn, no matter how much their heads hurt in the morning.

Biotech research is incredibly important for health-care innovation.

You still find a great sense of possibility here, and I want to make sure that Arizona stays that way. I want us to be the welcoming, job-creating state we've been from the start, a place where everybody's got a chance.

I strongly believe that more money needs to be spent in the classroom.

I enjoy being out; I like being around people, but at a certain point in time, I kind of run out of charming, and I'm ready to go home, and I'm very comfortable alone.

It's a sad day when Republicans will attack fellow Republicans on an issue as fundamental as free enterprise.

I am a believer in the rights of the unborn and the goodness of every life, and I have promised that, as governor, I will champion those values.

Every large brand has franchisees and stores that don't make it. It's unfortunate, and Cold Stone did everything it could to support its franchisees, but some failure rate is part of the business.

Governors compete. States compete. People & businesses decide.

States with better-educated citizens also see economic benefits. These states have better luck recruiting and retaining quality employers, and they enjoy lower overall rates of unemployment, poverty, and welfare dependency.

Thriving economies on both sides of the border is a win-win for Arizona and Mexico, but that will only come by working together and demonstrating mutual respect.

As CEO of Cold Stone Creamery, we used a concept called 'search and reapply,' which meant that if we found better ways of doing something, then we would do it.

Arizona should be to the Sharing Economy what Texas is to Oil and what Silicon Valley used to be to the tech industry.

I ran for public office to do something good.

Arizonans want us to come together, put aside politics, and solve problems. You want us to do our jobs in way that reflects the best of our state. You want us to stop and listen - something that doesn't always come naturally to people in politics.

As parents, we all want the best for our children.

One way to ensure that all kids will be successful in school and life is by focusing on literacy by the end of the third grade.

What many don't know is that Arizona has a something called the State Land Trust - a fund with assets that have been set aside and invested for decades specifically to benefit education.

I'm very comfortable, of course, just with my family.

Arizona has excellent medical schools, both public and private, and it is critical that we create an environment that keeps medical students in Arizona to practice medicine once they complete medical school and their residency programs.

One area where the state can be more effective in addressing the doctor shortage is to focus on making sure that Arizona is a friendly environment for doctors and those wishing to practice medicine.

I have been outspoken on my opposition to 'Obamacare,' and I don't buy the line that our Medicaid program, or any function of government, has reached maximum efficiency.

As governor, it is my highest priority to protect Arizona citizens.

I took an oath of office to protect Arizona from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The threat from radical Islamic jihadists is real and needs to be taken seriously.

I believe we need to ensure there are no refugees placed in Arizona with connections to terrorist organizations.

My focus is 100 percent on my day job, on the state of Arizona.

I don't have a real attraction or interest to national politics, so I want to see Republicans win across the board in the state of Arizona, because those policies of lower taxes and lighter regulation and strong foreign policy are important to me.

Like many of us in Arizona, I wasn't born here - I'm a product of the Midwest and the working class.

Running to do a job as important as the governor's shouldn't be easy; it should take a lot of work, and I'm out there giving my best every day.

I'm a pro-growth, small-government conservative with a background in free enterprise.

We should empower teachers to do their job by cutting wasteful spending and crippling bureaucracy, not classroom resources our educators and students need.

Every dollar spent on education should go toward helping our teachers teach and our students learn.

Our teachers are valuable, and our public policy should reflect that.

As I have traveled the state, I have seen firsthand that there are Arizonans who are hurting.

My focus will be a strong and growing economy - so everyone who wants a job can find one.

I understand the dignity that comes from work and caring for one's family.

By working together, we can make Arizona a place where everyone has an opportunity for a better life.

As a former board member for Teach For America, I understand that every child has the ability to learn and that, no matter their circumstances at home, we have a duty and a responsibility to educate them and to do it well.

Education standards need to be set at the state level. High standards are an important way to ensure that the education system we are funding is actually working and producing, at a minimum, what we would expect it to.

It's very easy for people to say what's wrong with education in Arizona, but if I'm elected as governor, I want to focus on what we're doing well and maximizing the impact of what we know is working.

As governor, I want to make sure that Arizona's hardworking taxpayers get to keep more of what they earn.

In many respects, Arizona is a model for the rest of the country on best practices for water management.

The best way to keep water prices down is to avoid unnecessary increases in costs.

I want to be an independent and responsible voice for Arizonans, and it would be unwise to endorse a specific approach before the costs and benefits of these options can be evaluated.

Texas has more effectively capitalized on its opportunities as a border state, and I've always said that I want to look to states that are doing better than we are and replicate those success stories in Arizona.

Texas has an established trade office in Mexico City, as do other Texan cities. They have a more mature trade relationship with Mexico, and I want to make Arizona a leader in this area also.

Maintaining a positive working relationship with Mexico's leadership will also be crucial to increasing communication and trade. I plan to personally maintain those relationships.

We should be working with the governor of Sonora to establish a commercial sea port on the coast of their state.
