Integrity
Not yet ratedNo promises have been rated yet, so there is no Integrity Score to show. Lifecycle promises (in progress, not yet rated) are tracked but never scored.
The score, once promises are rated, is a signed −100…+100 breakdown weighted by significance and evidence confidence — never a single opaque grade. How this is measured.

10 tracked promises
“Pledged to sign the "Middle Class Tax Cuts Package" if the Legislature sends it to her desk — a package she says delivers an over-$200 million tax cut, including no tax on tips and overtime, a higher standard deduction, and an added deduction for seniors over 65.”
“Reaffirmed a commitment to continue defending and protecting reproductive-freedom and abortion access in Arizona, including vetoing legislative restrictions.”
“Called for renewing Proposition 123 this legislative session to increase school funding and teacher pay and stem teacher departures.”
“Committed to tackling waste, fraud, and abuse in the K-12 Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) voucher program to ensure taxpayer dollars go toward educational purposes, while pledging to leave untouched the program's original mission for students with disabilities and in military families.”
“Announced the creation of a new Active Management Area for La Paz County to impose groundwater-pumping restrictions on out-of-state interests.”
“Pledged that her executive budget would eliminate the Data Center Tax Exemption, which she characterized as a $38 million corporate tax break.”
“Committed to including $30 million in her executive budget for a new Colorado River Protection Fund to expand water conservation, funded in part by making data centers pay for the water they use.”
“Proposed creating an Arizona Affordability Fund, starting with a $20 million investment, to help working families pay utility bills, weatherize homes to lower energy costs, and build more affordable housing units.”
“Committed to creating a new Housing Acceleration Fund to build more affordable housing faster, seeded with a $2.5 million investment intended to leverage up to $10 in financing for every $1 invested.”
“Proposed a $3.50-per-night fee on short-term rental (e.g., Airbnb) stays to provide ongoing funding for the Arizona Affordability Fund.”

Disclosure
A separate measure from the promise scorecard above. It tracks confirmed cases where this official has acted on or championed an issue that already existed when they ran, but which they did not disclose as a priority in their campaign. Each case meets a high evidence bar — three independent sources — and the score is shown alongside the Integrity Score, never merged into it. How this is measured.
No undisclosed priorities on record. This is not a clean-audit claim — it means none have been confirmed for this official.
