Unfortunately, Governor Katie Hobbs is refusing to meet with members of the Scottsdale City Council. We hope to explain that the recently passed SB1543 suppresses the constitutional rights of 245,000 of her constituents. For a governor who claims to value voting rights,

On Tuesday, Scottsdale City Council voted (4-3) to eliminate 2 lanes from one of your major streets in south Scottsdale. I tried to find a compromise that preserved the car lanes. Unfortunately, councilmembers made the issue about what they want—not what you want.

It's nearly midnight and the lame duck Scottsdale City Council refuses to slow down. After you voted them out, last week they rushed to approve 1,900 apartments in North Scottsdale—then celebrated by posing for photos with the developer. This week, they'll slam through midnight

Axon funneled $1.1M to their front group 'Arizonans for a Better Future' to replace me with hand-picked loyalists who put Axon first. They're wasting their time and money. I won’t back down from their bullying. If you're uncomfortable with a mega-corporation controlling your

A great first meeting with Mayor Borowsky and new councilmembers Dubauskas, Kwasman & McAllen.🤝 We got right to work—unanimously appointing an interim city manager, restoring the citizen budget review commission, and establishing the council's first-ever public safety
