I took an oath to protect the people of Arizona, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to keep pushing in that direction.
Arizona, our beautiful state, was built on mining.
Racial discrimination is illegal. It's illegal in the United States. It's illegal in Arizona. It has been and it will continue to be.
Arizona is a red state, and we're going to keep it red.
Arizona is now recognized as a premier place in which to locate, expand and grow a business.
Well, I think it's real important that people understand, first and foremost, those of us that have lived in Arizona or in southern California, we have a very diverse population. The Hispanic population has been part of all of our lives since we've been born here or since we've grown up here.

I don't think Americans would tolerate profiling.
I have a pretty good record of winning in court.
