Meet My New Chief of Staff
Please join me in welcoming Keith Forte, my new Chief of Staff. Keith served as my District Office Director during my time in Congress. He is a 21-year Air Force Veteran and West Valley resident. Keith brings a background in Public Administration, Government Affairs, and has a proven track record of leadership. I am excited to have him join the team and hope you will extend a warm welcome as he transitions into this critical role.
MCSO Town Hall Community Meeting
 On Oct 2nd, I had the opportunity to speak with concerned citizens at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office town hall meeting in Waddell. Thank you to the Sheriff and his deputies for protecting our community.
MCSO Court Ordered Monitor Community Meeting
I attended the quarterly court-ordered community meeting where community members were supposed to be given the opportunity to speak about how they either opposed or supported the continuation of the Federal oversight of the Sheriff's office that has now gone on for over a decade and has cost taxpayers $353 Million. If I was allowed to speak, I would have asked the Judge why he is still ordering this federal monitoring to continue even though the Federal Monitor himself has concluded that the Sheriff's office does not racially profile, which was the original lawsuit complaint. Enough is enough. It is time for this costly federal bureaucratic nightmare to end.
Heritage Senior Apartments Grand Opening
 On October 9, I attended the Grand Opening of Heritage Senior Apartments in Surprise. This complex will provide 99 brand-new, one-bedroom units that are income-based, which ensures seniors will have stable housing and still be able to afford other necessities outside of rent.
Luke Field Industrial Park
 I was honored to speak at the ribbon cutting for the Luke Field Industrial Park. I love being out and about in our great community!
West Valley Meetings
 I had the opportunity to attend both the West Valley Coalition meeting and the Arrowhead Women meeting, where I provided a presentation on BNSF, an update on the Board’s ongoing negotiations with Recorder Heap, and an overview of the exemplary efforts by the Sheriff’s Office to ensure public safety.
I also attended the What's Happen'n Art Movement event, where I thanked Connie Whitlock and her team for the fantastic work they are doing in the West Valley!
Speaking Engagements: Grand Canyon University and Greater Phoenix Chamber
 It was a privilege to spend the day connecting with both students and community leaders. At Grand Canyon University, I had the opportunity to speak with an inspiring group of young people, sharing my personal story and encouraging them to pursue their goals with determination and to make the most of every opportunity.
Later, I joined the Greater Phoenix Chamber to provide an update on BNSF and the Sheriff's Office Court Order. I’m grateful for the opportunity to engage with the next generation of leaders and the dedicated professionals who drive progress in our community every day.
Sun City Safety and Fraud Townhall
and
Sun City Senior Lifestyle Expo
 I had the privilege of speaking at the Sun City Safety and Fraud Town Hall and hosting a table at the Sun City Senior Lifestyle Expo. The Sun City community is incredibly active and engaged, and I’m proud to represent them.
