ELECTION 2008 -

CANDIDATES ON THE NET

 

It has been a great honor to represent my home town in the Arizona State Senate for the past seven years. As the first Senate President from Southern Arizona since 1974, I have had the distinct privilege of making sure our concerns are addressed at the State Capitol.

I look forward to continuing to serve as your Senate President in 2008 by keeping Southern Arizona's issues at the forefront of the state's public policy debate.

With encouragement from my family and many friends around Southern Arizona, I have decided to run for Congress in Congressional District 8.

Sincerely,

TIMOTHY S. BEE

  Major Campaign Issues:

     As your Congressman, Tim will continue to fight for:

  • Lower taxes on business and families and cut wasteful government spending. Making existing tax cuts permanent.  Eliminate the death tax.

  • Securing the border - NOW! Fund the fence, allow border patrol to do their job.

  • Small business by reducing regulation and supporting tax structures that encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.

  • Smart energy policies that encourages alternative energy forms and market-driven solutions that provide for our energy needs and protect our environment.

  • Seniors by supporting Social Security reforms that keep our commitment to seniors and allow younger generations to save and invest in their futures.

  • Strong National Defense by supporting and funding modernization for our military to include protection of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and Ftort Huachuca.

  • Veterans by upholding our commitment to them for their service.

  • Healthcare to make it affordable, accessible and portable for all Americans, and to reduce regulation and lower costs.

  • Education reform that puts the decisions back into the hands of parents/teachers and encourages more students to seek higher education.

  Experience:

  • Spearheaded the largest tax cuts in Arizona history ($1.5 billion), including a 10 percent personal income tax cut and property tax relief.

  • Provided much needed tax relief for Arizona businesses by reducing business tax rates, cutting business personal property taxes and creating tax programs to encourage business investment in Arizona.

  • Ensured tax dollars stay in southern Arizona by directing state sales tax dollars to the Rio Nuevo project, thus assuring southern AZ approx. $400 million over the next 12 years.

  • Championed increasing funding for Arizona’s classrooms, teachers, universities, and job training programs to ensure a more robust workforce throughout Arizona.

  • Established the mechanism for Pima County’s 20-year transportation plan and invested $960 million (in addition to normal funding) in Arizona’s transportation needs.

  • Led the fight to appropriate $135 million over five years for the Science Foundation Arizona program and invested over $400 million in bioscience research infrastructure and TGen.

  • Protected small business health insurance programs and enacted legislation to allow small businesses to buy down the premium costs for health insurance.

  • Provided funding to double the University of Arizona nursing program, to address the nursing shortage in our state.

  • Supported a $10 million appropriation for the establishment of a veterans’ home in southern Arizona and $2 million for southern Arizona's only remaining trauma center.

  • Fought for passage of the Castle Doctrine bill, which will allow crime victims to defend themselves and their homes.

Our future and quality of life are important to me.  I plan to bring a "common sense" approach to this office.  By keeping taxes low and reducing government spending, our economy may once again become fiscally sound.  I believe in the American Dream and will work hard to provide everyone the opportunity to achieve that dream.

    Major Campaign Issues:

Arizona can become the number one state in the nation by doing the following critical things that the federal government has been dysfunctional in doing;
(1) SECURE THE BORDER: By enforcing existing laws, we can save up to 2 billion dollars a year and cut down on illicit drugs and crime.
(2) IMPROVE K-12 EDUCATION: By maximizing parental school choice through school competition, we can vastly improve the education of our children.
(3) TAX RELIEF FOR INDIVIDUALS & BUSINESSES: We need the best tax environment of any state in the union, to guarantee a vibrant Arizona economy.
(4) WATER MANAGEMENT: In addition to conservation, we need to implement desalination projects with California and/or Mexico.
(5) ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY: In addition to conservation and solar energy, we need to be the first state in the union to build nuclear power plants in over 30 years.

    Major Campaign Issues:

  • County spending is 2 1/2 times what it was when the incumbent was seated while population has increased 1/8 that amount. Add billions of dollars in bonds to that and it becomes clear that the Pima County Board lacks fiscal responsibility.
  • Despite open meeting laws, too much County business takes place behind closed doors. I will be an advocate for open and transparent County government.
  • I understand the need for good road maintenance and traffic system improvements and I've been published on the issue by both Tucson newspapers.
  • Ann Day and Ray Carroll have been a minority for their entire careers on the Board. It's time to get them a third vote!

    Experience:

Barney has long been involved in Republican politics. He walked precincts, installed signs, and provided fundraising/photography for Mayor Bob Walkup’s first campaign. Barney was President of the Pima County Republican Club from 2001 to 2004.
