Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a nurse for 40 years, and a nursing educator at the local community college for 26 years, I am accustomed to being put in a position that makes a difference in the lives of others. I come from a long line of public servants in my family and know what is required to step up to work as a legislator at the state level.

I have been highly engaged with the communities in Yavapai County and volunteer for several political and civic organizations including the Yavapai County Republican Party, the State and National Federation of Republican Women, the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association, The Well-Armed Woman, and the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue.

I have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to serve in the State House and thrive in demanding environments. As a state legislator and a lifelong conservative Republican, my priorities are fiscal responsibility, economic security, limited government, and the protection of state rights. Through my actions, I uphold the Constitution and defend Republican values and principles including defending life, securing our borders, protecting Second Amendment rights, restoring election integrity, and supporting our troops and families.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

The first key message is to protect our southern border, as we need secure borders to promote legal entry into our country and to discourage human and drug trafficking.
The second key message is to reduce the tax burden and government overregulation of our citizens by maintaining fiscal responsibility and promoting economic opportunity.
The third key message is to restore confidence in our elections because if there is doubt in our elections it shakes the confidence of the voters.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

A top priority for the constituents in LD-1 and Arizona is to provide for economic opportunity. Less governmental regulation and reduced taxation will be critical in protecting our economy. Let’s get Arizonans to work by supporting excellence in education where smart spending is important. As an educator, I believe in empowering others for earned success and not learned helplessness. These areas of public policy are what I am passionate about and are what motivate me to serve, as I come from a family of public servants and am called to keep Arizona great!

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck as it is a great American novel that was set at challenging times in this country during the Great Depression. I come from a long line of small farmers from the Midwest and appreciate how dreams and human tenacity to seek employment and thus maintain ones’ dignity is a driving force. I appreciated from this book that even the most impoverished of persons can achieve their dreams.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Trust is required and this must be earned.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Responsibilities include the ability to lead and represent the constituents we serve. It is imperative to gather input and feedback from subject matter experts when crafting legislation.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Selina left Arizona a better place as a result of her work.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

In this environment of a split government, it is imperative to work with the governor’s office to set goals with the end in mind for bills. Early input in the process is ideal for the success of a bill.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

The state’s greatest challenges in the next decade include the current environment of a split government, where we are challenged to agree on what is best for Arizona and the citizens we serve.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

While State legislators don't necessarily need previous experience in government or politics, life experiences and experiences in leadership roles appear to be of great advantage. The talents various legislators bring to the House of Representatives make for a dynamic and varied group that best represents the districts they serve.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Relationships are critical to getting work done in the State House of Representatives. Trust is required and this must be earned. In order to gain trust, a person must be steadfast to their ideals and not waver in their convictions.

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I model myself after my grandfather who served in the South Dakota State House for 17 years.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

No, I am not currently interested in running for a different political office in the future. Like my grandfather who served in the South Dakota State House for 17 years, I am called to serve in the Arizona State House of Representatives.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

The most impactful personal stories are those from families who have had a family member die from fentanyl poisoning.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

I have bills I have introduced from several categories. One category we hear is important for the constituents we serve is the proliferation of short-term rentals displacing homeowners and destroying the private property rights of the residents. It is time to introduce a bill that protects all property owners and property rights.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

The Arizona State Troopers Association

The Arizona Police Association
The Center for Arizona Policy Action
The Arizona Free Enterprise Club
Straight Talk Sedona
Conservatives for a Constitutional Republic
The National Rifle Association
The Arizona Small Business Association
National Federation of Independent Business
Home Builders Association of Central Arizona
The Greater Phoenix Chamber
Arizona Medical Association
Arizona Academy of Family Physicians
Arizona Nurses Association

Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona

What committees interest you?

As a current member of the House Health and Human Services Committee, my next interest is to serve as Chair. As a result of being a nurse for 40 years, and a nursing educator for the past 25 years, I have come to realize I have the knowledge, skill, and abilities this committee benefits from.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency and government accountability are critical in providing confidence in the government to the constituents served.

The third key message is to fight back against federal assaults on our 2nd Amendment rights by protecting the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Arizona deserves strong leadership in reaching these goals, and unlike other candidates who only talk about these issues, I have experience in these issues that will help me to promote legislation that protects Arizona.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

As a principled conservative her priorities are to honor our Constitution and defend the Republican values and principles. This includes protecting life, religious and educational freedom, securing our borders, defending the second amendment and the right to bear arms, and supporting our troops and families.

She has the experience and wisdom to take our communities into the future.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to my grandfather, Harold Sieh, who served in the South Dakota State House of Representatives for 16 years, much of that as Chair of the Appropriations Committee. I grew up watching him make tough decisions that weren't always popular but needed to be done. I come from a family of public servants and am ready to follow the footsteps of those who came before me.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I am an honest and trustworthy individual that believes in family values and the virtues of hard work.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The core responsibilities are to represent the public a legislator serves and not to make decisions behind closed doors without the input of the public.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Selina left Arizona a better place as a result of her work.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is a great American novel that was set at challenging times in this country during the Great Depression. I come from a long line of small farmers from the Midwest and appreciate how dreams and human tenacity to seek employment and thus maintain ones' dignity is a driving force. I appreciated in this book that even the most impoverished of persons can achieve their dreams.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Struggle to take time off and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

While State legislators don't necessarily need previous experience in government or politics, they do need to have previous experience in leadership roles. Community leaders without political experience have a lot to offer as a fresh point of view and ability to get work done. The talents various legislators bring to the House of Representatives make for a dynamic and varied group that best represents the populations they serve.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Relationships are critical to getting work done in the State House of Representatives. Trust is required and this must be earned. In order to gain trust, a person must be steadfast to their ideals and not waver in their convictions.

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

My priority is to serve on the Health and Human Services Committee. As a nurse for 36 years, and a nursing educator for the past 25 years, I have the knowledge, skill, and abilities this committee could benefit from.

My second priority is the Transportation Committee as I see the work Noel Campbell, who is the current Chair of this committee, is doing that is critical to rural Arizona. Since Representative Campbell is not re-running, it is important to keep strong rural representation on this committee.

Finally, I want to serve on the Appropriations Committee as that is where the tough decisions are made and I have the ability to consider the data and evidence when making tough decisions.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Arizona

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
