Weekly Recap: All Politics is Local …
Week two since joining The Arizona Sun Times! I have found my groove. Here’s a quick recap of my recent articles. There is a chance that another one may get published today after I hit send.
🚨My favorite “Article of the Week” was the Bob Branch v Debbie Lesko Showdown for the Board of Supervisors Race.
I'm writing straight news for the Arizona Sun, but here on my personal Substack, I'll be sharing my opinions and sometimes some insider news. Don’t miss out on the fascinating video that’s making the rounds—you need to see it!
Finally, Branch released a statement on FISA that clarifies the dispute. I hope to get more information from Rep. Lesko in the upcoming weeks.
🚨Another article was about the "Barn Burner" race in CD8. I'm staying neutral and won't comment on my favorite in this contest. The nastiness of this race between Abe and Blake is attracting national attention, and it seems set to escalate further.
🚨There is a race that is flying under the radar - Maricopa County Superintendent. Please pay attention to the underdog in this race Nickie Kelley.
After the article was published, Boggs did a no-show (again) where it was anticipated to hear her speak alongside Kelly. (Watson was not invited) The X post that I fired off can be found here. 🍿
🚨Kari Lake launched an anti-fentanyl coalition keeping this issue in the forefront.
🚨In CD1, Lawfare hit the primaries! Have you heard of Kim George, former FBI agent? She is one to watch! Republicans are now starting to use Democratic tactics to get rid of their political opponents.
🚨So What’s Next?
🌟More Arizona candidate races, of course!
🍿Some wacky local stories.
🌵I've been fully immersed in Arizona politics lately. While national issues certainly have their place, I believe there's a need for more conservative voices addressing local concerns. While I may touch on national topics occasionally, leading up to the election, you can expect my articles to be primarily focused on Arizona's pressing issues.
