About Buz Mills
A leader who has served our country. A businessman who has created hundreds of jobs. A defender of our freedoms and liberties. Buz Mills believes the trying times in Arizona call for new leadership, new ideas, and a committed philosophy based on conservative principles. Low taxes, limited government, individual liberties.
Owen Buz Mills was born in Texas and grew up in a loving household with his mom and dad, a World War II Navy veteran.
When he was 17 years old, Buz took the oath to protect and defend our Constitution and our country. He spent six years serving in the United States Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve. His service to our country taught Buz about leadership, about commitment, about sacrifice.
Following his service to our country, Buz became an ironworker. He built bridges, got his hands dirty, and earned an honest living. Buz learned much about the value of hard work and sweat equity and decided to go to work for himself.
In the years to follow, Buz became a successful communications entrepreneur developing public emergency communications systems. He helped design and build 911 emergency operations centers and Emergency Medical Communications Systems. Buz created hundreds of jobs, built many successful businesses, and became an example of an American success story.
In 1999, Buz bought Gunsite Academy, a firearms and self-defense training facility in Paulden, AZ. He has since trained thousands of our country’s law enforcement officers, members of our nation’s military, and citizens from all over the world. Buz still offers Gunsite Academy classes to military veterans, free of charge.
Buz’s 35 years of experience as an entrepreneur taught him the value of meeting a deadline and budget, and making a payroll. As a conservative, he knows that low taxes and less regulations means businesses will have the opportunity to succeed or not. He knows that government doesn’t create jobs, but the private sector does. Buz knows that you don’t raise taxes to balance the budget, you cut spending. And he is the only candidate in the Republican primary election for Governor who is a true fiscal conservative, and favors dealing with the state budget problem head-on, the same way he approached his successful business career.

Buz believes in 'limited government and individual liberties' unless, of course, you need an abortion or are homosexual, then he'll make sure the government steps in. I appreciate his service to our country and strongly support his stance on our right to own firearms, but leave religion out of your politics, sir, then you'll get my vote.
