Texas has an established trade office in Mexico City, as do other Texan cities. They have a more mature trade relationship with Mexico, and I want to make Arizona a leader in this area also.

As governor, I want to make sure that Arizona's hardworking taxpayers get to keep more of what they earn.

Maintaining a positive working relationship with Mexico's leadership will also be crucial to increasing communication and trade. I plan to personally maintain those relationships.

Texas has more effectively capitalized on its opportunities as a border state, and I've always said that I want to look to states that are doing better than we are and replicate those success stories in Arizona.

We don't want Arizona to be dependent on the whims of Barack Obama and the federal government.

By working together, we can make Arizona a place where everyone has an opportunity for a better life.
