Stephanie Rimmer

is ready to represent Arizona's 6th District on the issues that matter most.

2016 Athena Award Nominee for Public Service

Stephanie was honored by Desert Ridge with their nomination for the prestigious Phoenix Chamber Athena Award. With the projects in Desert Ridge, Congress wasn’t helpful. We found our way around involving Congress. But that’s not how it should be.

So now, I’m running for Congress. I hope you will join me in this race.

Invest in the Next Generation

Medicare for Kids

Create Medicare for Kids ages 0 to 5 years so that every child in the United States has access to preventative medicine, vaccinations and early detection of medical issues for the best possible outcomes. We can do this. Most importantly, our children deserve this.

Medicare for Kids

Give American children a competitive boost with federally funded elective Pre-K across the nation to ensure every child is ready to learn by Kindergarten, help every child in America read by 1st grade, increase detection of and provide timely resources to help children overcome developmental delays, and provide the increasing number of grandparents who serve as primary care providers with access to education programs that improve outcomes and relieve the stress on grandparents that comes with keeping up with today’s changing curriculum

Tackle Sustainability

Invest In Renewable Energy

Expand and grow the energy grid by creating a federal infrastructure bank specifically geared toward funding the development of renewable energy across the United States

Government Accountability

Require government purchasing at all levels to give preferential treatment in government contracts for the purchase of sustainable or energy efficient products.

Make a Congressional Call to Action on Climate Change requiring all U.S., State and Local governing bodies to implement sustainability goals and provide Congress feedback on the ability of each agency or governing body to achieve carbon neutrality

Grow Trade

Our strategic border location has always given Arizona an inherent advantage in trade with Mexico, but we have failed to capitalize on this. Despite being one of only four border states,

Arizona accounts for only 2.5% of all US exports to Mexico. Our reach is small and local with 75 percent of Arizona’s exports bound to Sonora, a state that accounts for only 3 percent of Mexico’s GDP.

Thanks to the recent groundbreaking of SkyBridge Arizona in Mesa, the only an inland air cargo US-Mexico dual customs facility in the country, Arizona is even more strategically positioned – almost as if we are no actually already inside Mexico when goods pass through our facility.

By leveraging this opportunity and further expanding partnerships into 5 of Mexico’s major cities that comprise 50% of the market, Arizona can finally gain our share of trade with Mexico.

Incentives for Small Business

It is imperative that government tax policies provide the next generation of entrepreneurs the incentive to grow jobs, foster innovation and safeguard existing family and one-man enterprises by incentivizing entrepreneurship.

I propose a tax policy that allows small business owners and entrepreneurs the ability to recapture the investment of personal time during the early years of a start-up as a shareholder distribution that recaptures up to $200,000 per year in salary for up to four years once a small business becomes profitable.

Healthcare that works

Fix the ACA

We must pass the ACA with the original provisions that protect consumers. Every American deserves the public option that gives us the ability to buy in bulk as individual consumers just like we do when shopping at retail warehouses. Plus, we must address fixes we now know will improve access to healthcare, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and prioritize preventative medicine. Fixing the ACA requires:

Providing Americans with the promised public option.

Instituting caps on out-of-pocket premiums at the 9½ percent of personal income.

Creating a scaled reduction of subsidies for consumers as their incomes grow above the 400% above the poverty line income cap.

Allowing consumers with an employer option to redirect employer contributions to a public option and have access to subsidies.

Offering prescription drug coverage separate on the public option for anyone with private or employer provided health insurance who wants access to Medicare negotiated drug prices.

Protect Patients

Require all health insurance providers cover pre-existing conditions, preventative medicine and offer prescription drugs at the same price as Medicare.

Stephanie will bring the spirit of community service to congress
