Has sponsored legislation to shorten a property tax break program for large developments.

Immigration & Border
Supports strong border enforcement including physical barriers and National Guard or additional personnel to secure the border, backs finishing the border wall and rapid deportation of people in the country illegally, and has used legislative authority to advance state-level enforcement measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro‑life and supports restrictions on abortion; his campaign pledges to cut federal funding for Planned Parenthood and to protect unborn life. As a state lawmaker he opposed repealing Arizona’s near‑total 1864 abortion ban and defended language recognizing an “unborn human being” in statute.
Climate & Energy
Travis Grantham has opposed major renewable energy mandates and has low ratings from environmental groups, and his campaign issues emphasize conservative, pro‑business priorities rather than aggressive climate regulation. Public records show he participated in arguments against Arizona’s 2018 Prop 127 renewable mandate and has low Sierra Club and climate‑group scores.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strong Second Amendment rights and opposes new restrictions on gun ownership; has received endorsement from the National Rifle Association and has voted in favor of laws expanding individuals’ authority to use force against trespassers.
