Why is Robert S Graham running for governor?

I have been asked many times…”Why now?” as it relates to my goal to be the next Governor of Arizona.    The answer is simple.   We, as citizens of this state need to realize our potential.

Arizona's Potential:

As a long-time resident I have watched the young state of Arizona grow and realize the 5th largest city in the nation.   Arizona has the potential to be the most productive state in the union.   Arizona is positioned for terrific job growth, easy accessibility, sustainable economic development and well-defined opportunities to improve education and border security. 

Failures in Leadership: 

Like many other conservative citizens of this state I have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of leadership and its inability to capitalize on the very obvious strengths of the citizens of Arizona.

As a result of floundering leadership, Arizona has grown relatively unnoticed by capital, businesses and workers willing to relocate.   Our citizens have felt the withering impact recognized by depressed real estate values, twice the unemployment from the prior year, the increasing rate of border related crimes and the embarrassing ranking within our nation’s public schools.

Robert Graham's Motivation:

My motivation is to show the rest of the nation and the global market place that Arizona will be out front. As governor, I will work hard to assure that Arizona will be out front.

Robert Graham's Commitment:

Arizona will:

•    Be known as a tax friendly state.
•    Lead the nation in job growth. 
•    Lead the nation in business migration and corporate growth.
•    Offer residents the best standard of living.  
•    Be recognized for high quality public education. 
•    Be the model for border security. 
•    Lead the nation in alternative and renewable energy.

Most of all,  Arizona will be known as the "Opportunity State!"

Why Now?  Because, Robert Graham is the person that can lead the vision to reality.  Our citizens deserve better.   They deserve leaders who work for them.

Returning to the Value of Accomplishment:

No more excuses and no more overspending…Just a simple plan to return to the value of accomplishment.
