June 2022
We are asking for public comment on five draft maps that would adjust the boundaries of the County’s five supervisorial districts. Redistricting is required by law following the 2020 Census to accommodate population shifts and keep districts as equal as possible in population.
Because Supervisor District lines match Special Health Care and Community College Districts, changes made to Supervisor boundaries will be the same for these two special districts.
You can view the draft maps at Maricopa.gov/redistricting and provide comments that we will consider before approving a final map. There will be a public hearing on June 20 to discuss the Board’s redistricting methodology and initial public feedback.
A final map will be approved on or prior to the July 1, 2022 deadline.

The Human Services Department opened a new resource center in the East Valley that offers Workforce Development (Job Seeker) and Early Education (Head Start) services at no cost to individuals and families who qualify. The campus, at 1001 W. Southern Ave. in Mesa, is more conveniently located and accessible by public transportation routes.
Job seekers will have access to computers for job searching and creating resumes. Career Specialists offer youth and adult career guidance services, training courses, and resume assistance. The facility features a large gathering space that will host job fairs to provide job seekers and local businesses an opportunity to meet face-to-face.
Pregnant women and families with children ages birth to five years old will be using the facility as they enroll their children in Early Head Start and Head Start. Both Head Start programs are offered at no cost to eligible families and include full-day childcare, snacks, meals, and health screenings and immunizations conducted by an on-site Registered Nurse.

 As incoming Chair, I presented Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke with an award to recognize his work and dedication serving as last year's Chair on the Maricopa Association of Governments Transportation Policy Committee (TPC). His hard work helped push forward important transportation projects in our region.
 We had a very informative and productive visit to Hermosillo, Mexico led by Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). We met with the Hermosillo Mayor, the State Legislative Cabinet, the Secretary of Infrastructure, and many business leaders to discuss mutually beneficial goals for our region.
 The Chandler Chamber of Commerce Community Awards Dinner at Wild Horse Pass recognized and celebrated some of our exceptional residents and companies. I always enjoy seeing leadership in our community recognized and celebrated.
Please let us know how we can better serve you.
