Graf ran well to Kolbe's right, with a message to "get tough" on illegal immigration, a "hot button" issue, especially for residents living along Arizona's border with Mexico, which has become a major crossing point for smuggling. He also aligned himself with U.S. Representatives Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Steve King of Iowa , who proposed enhanced border security. Graf was also a senior advisor for Proposition 200 , an initiative passed by Arizona voters in 2004 to prevent welfare and voter fraud . He was also anti-abortion , against same-sex marriage , in favor of continued U.S. support for Israel , and in favor of tort reforms and medical care choice as a way of lowering health insurance rates.
