Final Roundtable of the Day: Spotlight on Key Ballot Measures! Our final discussion today delved into two critical general election ballot measures that will impact the future of our region and state: 1. Proposition 479: Extension of the transportation and infrastructure sales tax. 2. Proposition 486: Expenditure limit for Maricopa Community Colleges. We were joined by Mesa Mayor, John Giles for transportation insights and Susan Bitter Smith for education advocacy to provide in-depth explanations and insights into these important propositions. Your engagement in these discussions is vital for shaping the future of our community. Thank you for joining us, we appreciate your time and expertise! #Statespersons2024 #BallotMeasures2024 #Proposition479 #Proposition486 #Transportation #Education #CommunityImpact

Shifting Focus to a Key Race: Maricopa County Board of Supervisor, District 1! We welcomed the candidates vying for this crucial position: Joel Navarro and Mark Stewart. 👏 During the discussion, Joel and Mark were asked several key questions ranging in topics from their top priorities, collaboration with lawmakers, county spending, and population growth and economic development. Thank you, Joel and Mark, for joining us today and for your incredible insights! #Statespersons2024 #MaricopaCounty #BoardOfSupervisors #EastValley #Election2024

Today's discussions with both U.S. Senate candidates, Representative Ruben Gallego and Kari Lake, provided valuable insights on critical issues shaping Arizona's future. Both candidates addressed essential topics such as infrastructure, economic growth, and bipartisan collaboration. 🌵🇺🇸 Gallego, joining via Zoom from Washington D.C., emphasized the need for "an energy plan that matches Arizona's growth," while Lake, speaking in-person, stressed that "if we are going to continue growing, we have to address water. We need to finally solve this issue." This dialogue was a key opportunity to gather information that will inform decisions this November. Thank you to both candidates for your participation! #Statespersons2024 #RubenGallego #KariLake #Ussenate #ArizonaPolitics #InformedDecisions
