My Prediction Market Policy is Making National Headlines

I was recently interviewed by CNBC regarding the prediction market policy I sponsored and that my Board colleagues and I passed this summer. This innovative and important policy is rooted in my desire for trust and transparency in the work we do at Maricopa County. I hope other county leaders will see this interview and find ways to implement similar policies ahead of the November 2026 General Election.

Traveling Across the Pond to Promote Maricopa County's Strong Business Ties

Supporting Arizona's Cactus League

I often say sports are an economic driver, and this season the Arizona Cactus League knocked that phrase out of the park! The 2026 season boasted more than 1.7 million attendees, equaling more than $806 million in economic impact! Spring training is a point of pride for Maricopa County and a massive boost for our economy. I'm especially proud that District 2 is home to roughly half of all Cactus League stadiums. Congratulations on a fantastic 2026 season!!

Congratulations to the Arizona Cactus League on an incredibly successful season!

Hispanic Heritage Month at Maricopa County

September 15 marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. I am proud to be the first Latino Republican Chair of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. My mother was born in Honduras and proudly immigrated to the U.S. as a young woman. I am grateful for my Hispanic heritage and blessed to be an American. I'm also proud that my Deputy Chief of Staff, Michele, and External Affairs Advisor, Taylor, both share Mexican heritage.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from me and my D2 Team!

Remembering the Life and Legacy of the Late U.S. Senator Jon Kyl

Crying Foul on New Scottsdale Reality Show
