I am thrilled to announce that the Grand Opening ceremony for the new East Valley Animal Care Center was an overwhelming success!

The highlight of the event was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, symbolizing the official opening of our state-of-the-art facility.

Mesa: National Police Week
Let's come together to recognize National Police Week, a time dedicated to showing appreciation for the sacrifice and commitment of our law enforcement officers. I recently had the honor of attending the Mesa Fallen Officer Memorial, where we stood united in gratitude for the bravery and dedication of these heroes.
Public Safety: “They Served Well” Memorial Tribute Ceremony
I was privileged to attend the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office annual "They Served Well" ceremony to honor those who have selflessly given their lives in the line of duty. Maricopa County is fortunate to have a multitude of devoted law enforcement officers safeguarding our streets and detention officers overseeing our jails. This solemn event served to reinforce my resolve to continue to support Sheriff Skinner and County Attorney Mitchell by advocating for the budgetary resources they need to keep the community safe.
Luke Air Force Base Tour
Last month, I joined County Attorney Rachel Mitchell as Luke Air Force Base graciously opened its doors to offer us an exclusive tour. We had the unique opportunity to engage with the 56th Fighter Wing Judge Advocate Team (JAG) and tour an F-35 Fighter Squadron. We also had the privilege of attending a special leadership luncheon where we were introduced to the esteemed Commanders and leaders of Luke Air Force Base.
