Honoring our Brave Law Enforcement Heroes
This past month has been difficult for the Arizona Department of Public Safety. One of their colleagues was shot. And tragically, two perished in a helicopter crash. Here are my remarks extending sympathies to the Arizona State Troopers Association and asking Maricopa County to pause for a moment of silence.
Meeting with the Arizona Sports and Events Alliance
It was nice to catch up with Jay Parry, the CEO of the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance. If you ever wonder how Arizona is on a regular rotation for the Super Bowl, you can thank Jay.

Jay and I discussed the upcoming NCAA Women’s Final Four and other exciting opportunities for the Valley!
