Jeff Zink For Congress
Policies which the nominator knows the nominee supports or in which they have expertise:
As a candidate for Congress in Arizona's CD3, I, Jeff Zink, am committed to several key policies that I believe will restore our nation's foundational values and address the needs of our district:
1. Election Integrity
I have extensive experience in election audits, including playing a key role in Arizona's 2020 and 2022 election audits. I support policies that ensure secure, transparent, and fair elections. This includes implementing voter ID requirements, eliminating ballot harvesting, and increasing oversight of the election process to restore public trust.
2. Medical Freedom and Health Autonomy
With a background in sports medicine, I advocate for policies that protect individuals' rights to make their own health decisions without government interference. I opposed COVID-19 vaccine mandates and mask requirements and provided thousands of religious exemption letters across the nation. I will fight against any future attempts to impose medical mandates or infringe on personal freedoms.
3. Border Security and Immigration Reform
As a staunch advocate for securing our borders, I support policies that prioritize national security and prevent illegal immigration. This includes funding for border infrastructure, increased support for Border Patrol agents, and stronger penalties for human trafficking and drug smuggling. I believe that protecting our borders is essential to safeguarding our communities.
4. Constitutional Rights
I am a strong defender of the First and Second Amendments. I will fight against censorship, defend freedom of speech, and protect religious liberties. Additionally, I am a firm supporter of the right to bear arms and will oppose any efforts to infringe on this fundamental constitutional right.
5. Economic Growth and Fiscal Responsibility
I advocate for pro-business policies that reduce taxes, cut unnecessary regulations, and encourage job creation. I believe in reducing government spending and implementing fiscally responsible measures to address the national debt. My focus is on making life more affordable by lowering gas prices, reducing inflation, and supporting small businesses.
6. Pro-Life and Family Values
I am a strong pro-life advocate and believe in the sanctity of life from conception. I will work to protect the rights of the unborn and oppose any legislation that undermines traditional family values. I support policies that empower parents and protect children from harmful ideologies, including fighting against the promotion of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and radical gender ideology in schools.
7. Religious Freedom
As a former associate pastor, I am deeply committed to protecting religious freedoms. I will oppose any attempts by the government to shut down places of worship, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe in the right to practice one’s faith without interference or persecution.
In summary, my policy platform is centered on upholding the Constitution, securing our borders, ensuring election integrity, promoting economic growth, defending individual freedoms, and protecting life and family values. I bring a strong background in medical advocacy, election transparency, and community leadership, and I am ready to serve the people of Arizona's CD3 with integrity and commitment.
Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
As a candidate for Congress, I am guided by six core principles that have shaped my career and life, both in public service and personal advocacy.
1) Competence
I have a strong background in sports medicine, which allowed me to provide accurate, science-based guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic. I wrote thousands of religious exemption letters for military personnel and civilians across the nation, standing against the government’s overreach on vaccine mandates. Additionally, my involvement in election audits in Arizona and eight other states demonstrates my deep understanding of the electoral process and my commitment to ensuring fair and transparent elections.
2) Honesty
I have always stood by the truth, even when it was inconvenient or politically challenging. During the aftermath of January 6th, 2021, my son Ryan faced false accusations from the DOJ and FBI, including claims that he entered the Capitol, fought with police, and was involved in the death of Officer Brian Sicknick. Despite facing intense pressure, Ryan refused a plea deal that would have required him to lie about his actions and implicate President Trump. I supported my son’s decision and have publicly fought for justice, exposing the false narratives and standing up for the truth, regardless of the consequences.
3) Respectfulness
Throughout my career, I have shown respect for the Constitution, our legal system, and the rights of every citizen. As a pastor, I fought to keep our church open during the pandemic, respecting the spiritual needs of our community while challenging government restrictions that infringed upon religious freedom. I believe that serving in Congress requires listening to all voices and treating every constituent with dignity, regardless of their political affiliation.
4) Integrity
Integrity is at the core of everything I do. During the Arizona election audits, I maintained the highest standards of transparency and accountability. I testified before the Arizona State Senate, presenting evidence of discrepancies in the 2020 election. My commitment to uncovering the truth, even when it was politically inconvenient, shows my dedication to upholding the integrity of our democratic process.
5) Courage
Standing up against powerful government institutions, including the DOJ and federal judiciary, has required immense courage. I have publicly defended my son, Ryan, against politically motivated charges that aimed to silence our voices. When Judge Jeb Boasberg ruled that Ryan’s First Amendment rights were "not an option" in his defense, I did not back down. I continued to fight for justice, even when it put my own congressional campaign at risk. I believe that courage is essential in a leader, especially when standing up for the rights and freedoms of the American people.
6) Proven Record
My track record speaks for itself. I have been a consistent advocate for election integrity, medical freedom, and the rights of every American. I played a key role in the Arizona audits, worked on legal battles for Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh, and provided religious exemption letters across the nation. I have taken on powerful institutions, from the DOJ to federal courts, and have shown that I am not afraid to take a stand when it matters most.
Serving the Public
If elected, I will bring this same level of competence, honesty, respectfulness, integrity, courage, and proven experience to Congress. I am committed to fighting for the rights of "We the People," restoring integrity to our government, and ensuring that every American’s voice is heard and respected. I believe that leadership requires not only understanding policy but also having the moral backbone to stand up for what is right, even in the face of tremendous opposition.
