Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions Julie hears most often on the doors and at events across LD3.

What is Julie Gable’s position on AHCCCS and Medicaid cuts?

Julie strongly opposes cuts to AHCCCS. More than two million Arizonans rely on Medicaid, and cutting coverage doesn’t lower costs — it shifts them to emergency rooms and drives up premiums for people with private insurance. The Arizona Chamber of Commerce has warned that major Medicaid cuts could eliminate tens of thousands of Arizona jobs and billions in economic output.

Does Julie support school vouchers or school choice programs?

Julie’s priority is making every public school in LD3 excellent, fully funded, and staffed with well-paid teachers. She believes any public dollar leaving the school system must come with full transparency and accountability for student outcomes. Arizona taxpayers deserve to know their money is producing results — wherever it goes.

What would Julie do about Arizona’s water crisis?

Julie supports expanding Arizona’s bipartisan Ag-to-Urban groundwater conservation program, stopping out-of-state corporations from draining Arizona’s aquifers, extending rural groundwater protections, and requiring all new residential development to have verified 100-year water supplies. She also supports investment in water recycling, aquifer recharge, and reclaimed water infrastructure.

Is Julie concerned about AI eliminating Arizona jobs?

Yes — and she’s the only candidate in this race with direct experience in the technology industry. Julie believes AI-driven job displacement is already happening and that Arizona needs proactive workforce retraining and economic transition strategies now, not later. She also believes clear, predictable AI regulation is good for business and will help attract responsible tech investment to the state.

What is Julie’s position on rural hospital closures in Arizona?

Julie supports using every legislative tool available to protect Arizona’s rural hospitals. When rural hospitals close, families face hour-long drives to emergency care — a health crisis and an economic blow for rural communities. She supports targeted funding and policy tools to keep these facilities operating.

How does Julie’s technology background shape her policy positions?

Julie started her career as a software developer, rose to executive leadership at Accenture, and co-owned and sold a technology consulting firm. She has led large-scale systems implementations for Fortune 100 companies and understands how technology infrastructure, data systems, and algorithms actually work — not just in theory. She brings that knowledge directly to her positions on data privacy, AI oversight, and workforce policy.

What does Julie mean by “accountability” for education spending?

When public education dollars are directed outside the traditional public school system, Julie believes there must be full, transparent reporting on student outcomes. Arizona taxpayers are entitled to know whether those dollars are working. She supports rigorous public oversight of any program using public funds for education.

What happened with Julie’s behavioral healthcare organization?

Julie ran a behavioral healthcare organization serving Arizonans in addiction recovery — the majority of them enrolled in Medicaid. When federal policy changes made it financially impossible to continue operating responsibly, the organization closed. Two hundred fifty employees lost their jobs. Patients lost access to care. That experience is the foundation of her healthcare platform.

What does it mean to be a Clean Elections candidate?

Julie Gable is running for the Arizona State House as a Clean Elections candidate. This means Julie's campaign is funded through small, grassroots donations from community members rather than large contributions from special interest groups, corporations, or wealthy donors. Julie Gable's campaign does not accept any PAC money.
