Historic federal investments are saving, transforming lives
For mayors to be successful – unlike so many of our elected colleagues in state Legislatures or Congress – we are required to set aside our political differences and draw upon the diversity of ideas to help improve our communities. It’s been my experience that these investments are doing just that, while transforming lives and positioning our communities for future success.
Secure the Border Act could worsen prison problems
What does this do to an already strained Arizona prison system? If the voters pass HCR2060, what then? The answers are not clear, a scary thought for Arizona. ADCRR stated in its memo that “a policy change of this magnitude [should] receive sober and thorough consideration from lawmakers” and calls for attention to “threats to public safety and the prison system’s continuing operations.”

A message to Gov. Hobbs on I-11 proposal
I strongly urge you to advise ADOT to drop their proposed option for a trucking corridor through Avra Valley on the west side of the Tucson Mountains. Better options exist to achieve the needed balance between progress and sustainability in Arizona.
New off-highway vehicle law, a step for child safety
Arizona's new OHV law is a crucial step in the right direction.

Beyond bars and walls – rebuilding lives through technology
My story is a testament to the struggles and opportunities that come with the journey of reentry. By enabling access to affordable technology that allows individuals to stay in touch with the world, we can create an environment that’s both safer and more equitable and put ourselves on a path toward lower recidivism in all our communities.
We need collaboration over cynicism to solve groundwater challenges
I don’t know what the future holds for all the work we accomplished in the past year, but the Arizona Farm Bureau will continue to stay engaged and vigilant on behalf of Arizona’s farm and ranch families. I agree with others who have said that we are very close – mostly due to the enormous concessions agriculture has made.
Inconspicuous bill brings relief for rural families, students
The legislation now awaits action by Gov. Katie Hobbs. My hope – really, our hope – is that Hobbs will recognize the rare bipartisan support for this bill, realize the merits of this legislation, and give it her signature. It’s just the right thing to do.
Export-Import Bank celebrates its 90th anniversary
EXIM will continue to dream of a future where American ingenuity lights the way. A future where small businesses rise to become global giants under the supportive policies of the Biden-Harris administration and where partnerships forged by EXIM bind the world together in shared prosperity.
Arizona lawmakers keep trying to make it harder for government officials to manage public money
Local governments should be able to determine what’s best for their communities whether it be expanding bus systems, preventing fires, or mitigating floods. Fiduciary officers should be entrusted to assess investment options on their merits without the interference of state lawmakers.
