Back in 2016, I pushed the ordinance allowing concealed-weapons permit holders to carry in most City of Maricopa public buildings. It passed 4-2-1.

I believed then, as I do now, that law-abiding residents should not lose their right to protect themselves simply because they enter a city building.

Attended a flag raising at our Veteran Memorial today in the City Of Maricopa. It was wonderful hearing the stories and speaking with our veterans as we remember the sacrifices and the commitment of not only our veterans and, but all of our first responders on this solemn day.

The City Council last met on Sept. 1 and no items have been submitted for the upcoming Sept.15 agenda, as a result, the Sept. 15 meeting is cancelled.

Per City Code, a regular City Council meeting may be canceled when there is no official business to conduct and at least one meeting has already been held during the month.

The next regular meeting is scheduled for October 6.

RAM Academy is one reason I support our school district’s budget override.

Our override funds this credit recovery program, helping Maricopa students who have fallen behind earn the credits they need to graduate. It combines online coursework with in-person teaching and support.

Some students need a different approach to finish school. RAM Academy gives them an opportunity to catch up, put in the work, and earn their diploma. That can open doors to jobs, trade programs, and college.

When we talk about the override, programs like RAM Academy belong in that conversation. These funds provide opportunities for students right here in Maricopa.

WHY VOTE YES✅

RAM Academy provides MUSD students with a pathway to recover lost credits, get back on track, and work toward graduation.

Because sometimes success isn’t one size fits all—and every student deserves a path forward.
