Maricopa County Attorney's Office Scams and Frauds Event in Las Sendas
Thank you to Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell for inviting me to speak at the recent Scams and Frauds event her team hosted in my district. Attendees heard from speakers including Credit Unions and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about ways they can spot and prevent fraud. Public safety is my top priority and informing residents of ongoing scams and ways to protect themselves is an important part of keeping residents safe.
My Quarterly Housing Roundtable
I began conducting a quarterly roundtable on housing issues in September 2024 and it remains one of the most informative meetings I regularly host. It's crucial to learn from our key stakeholders, ranging from builders to buyers, about what concerns and progress they see when it comes to attainable housing. It remains clear that Maricopa County's overhauled zoning ordinance leads the way for building smarter.
Visiting the Maricopa County Small Business Development Center
Thank you to the Maricopa County Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Arizona APEX Accelerator for opening your doors to my team this month. SBDC and APEX are two of the best kept secrets in the business development world. These two organizations help businesses, small and large, with everything from getting started to scaling up, from connecting with the right workforce to securing contracts.

The Annual Mesa Easter Pageant
My team was graciously invited to attend the annual Mesa Easter Pageant, which was put on by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This spectacular event is considered to be the largest outdoor Easter Pageant in the world! The show runs 10 times over the course of Holy Week, and I would recommend residents of all faiths consider attending next year.
