Happy Fourth of July! Stay safe and have fun while celebrating our nation’s independence this week. It is officially election season as primary ballots arrive and early voting begins. To ensure a smooth voting process, check your registration status to be ballot-ready. We are fortunate to have a robust vote-by-mail system—so be sure to complete and return your ballot as soon as possible!
As a continuation of last week's water discussion, an Ad-Hoc Committee on Water Security convened in the Senate on Friday. I attended the meeting, which featured an overview of policy on basin management areas (SB 1221) and testimony from the Arizona Farm Bureau Administration and other agricultural stakeholders. This meeting served as a part recap, a part plea from the months-long culmination of negotiations with the stakeholders on the policy.
With the legislature adjourned, I have spent more time knocking on doors and talking to voters. Despite the soaring temperatures and muggy days, I love canvassing and conversing with the people in our district. The main topics of interest from constituents are housing costs, abortion rights, public education funding, and overcoming extremism on the ballot this year.
I am curious to hear what your priorities are. Completing the 20-second survey below will provide anonymous feedback that I can share with all of you next week.
With kindness,
Sarah
