Take Back Phoenix: Faith, Family, Freedom

Zach Lauer – Husband, Father, Entrepreneur, MAHA Activist. Fighting for safe streets, fiscal sanity, and a Phoenix we can all call home. No more waste. No more excuses. Real solutions for real people.

About Zach

Born and raised in a Catholic, conservative family in Central Illinois, Zach Lauer embodies hard work, faith, and truth. He graduated summa cum laude from a four-year university in just three years – all while playing sports and working full-time.

After a stint in corporate finance as a licensed advisor, Zach moved to Phoenix 10 years ago. As a health insurance expert, he's helped hundreds of self-employed entrepreneurs take control of their futures. But the COVID era exposed government overreach, censorship, and a broken system ignoring root causes of health crises.

Disillusioned? Absolutely. That's why Zach campaigned for RFK Jr. in 2024, gathering signatures and fundraising for America's physical and mental health. Now, as a new dad raising son Luciano with wife Cynthia in Midtown, Zach's stepping up locally. Phoenix is his home – but mismanagement is making it unlivable. It's time to fight back.

Zach isn't a career politician. He's a problem-solver ready to restore common sense to City Council.

Key Priorities: Common-Sense Solutions for Phoenix

Zach's platform cuts through the noise. No pet projects. No tax hikes without your vote. Just results.

• Compassionate Homelessness Solutions: Help individuals beat addiction and rebuild with mental health support, jobs, and accountability. No more street chaos – protect neighborhoods while lifting lives.

• Safe, Clean Streets: Empower community safety teams to partner with police. Crack down on illegal encampments and drugs. Every family deserves peace.

• Back the Blue: Fully staff and resource Phoenix PD. Cooperate with agencies for secure communities. Public safety first – always.

• Fiscal Responsibility: Audit waste, cut ineffective programs, prioritize essentials like roads and services. Stop blowing millions on homelessness failures.

• Transparent Governance: Launch a user-friendly data hub for real-time info on spending, services, and metrics. Build trust, ditch bureaucracy.

• Fairness for Everyone: Represent all Phoenicians – no partisan favoritism. Merit-based policies that unite and create equal chances.

• Faster Emergency Care: Slash response times in growing areas like District 4. Add ambulances and fire stations now – because seconds save lives.

Why Now? The Current Council Has Failed Us

Phoenix is booming, but leadership's turning it toxic. Here's the hard truth:

• Wasted hundreds of millions on homelessness – yet the 2025 count shows 9,734 people affected in Maricopa County, up 3% from last year, with unsheltered numbers spiking 28%.

• Short 14 fire stations and 600 police officers, with infrastructure crumbling amid explosive growth.

• Affordable housing vanishing: Over 138,000 units needed for low-income families, while luxury builds sit empty and home values plunge.

• Sneaky tax hikes: Council jacked up sales tax 0.5% to 2.8% in March 2025 – effective July 1 – without your vote, claiming it's for fire and homelessness while essentials starve.

• Funds funneled to NGOs and underused light rail expansions, robbing streets, safety, and families.

We deserve better – safe, affordable, and free from overreach.
