This week Pima County hosted the seven (7) Chairmen from the Arizona border counties: Pinal, Graham, Greenlee, Graham, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Yuma, and Pima. We shared ideas to build the Republican brand in Southern Arizona, were briefed on the AZ51 initiative, learned about redistricting, and heard a State update from Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward. Working together we will build a strong alliance to share our Southern Arizona concerns with our elected officials and party leaders.
Our former Pima County Chairs had breakfast with me on Tuesday and shared some sage advice. Our Republican Club Presidents met Tuesday afternoon to roll out initiatives on Voter Registration and Redistricting. Thursday night LD9 hosted a get together at Brother Johns BBQ; so fun to see so many PCs hanging out and having some fun, and to meet new people interested in joining the winning Pima County Republican team! I had a spirited discussion with Garret Lewis on the radio Tuesday and had television interviews with Frankie McLister KVOA Channel 4 and Bud Foster KOLD Channel 13.
The Cochise County Lincoln Day Dinner on April 2 featured Congressman Andy Biggs, who has been a voice for Arizona in Washington. Being there to support the Cochise County Republicans was awesome. What a week on the heels of the first ever Pima County Republican Party Border Tour with Sheriff Mark Dannels, (former) Sheriff Mark Napier, and Sheriff Mark Lamb!
Looking forward, on Tuesday we will submit 56 PCs to the Board of Supervisors for appointment and we will be rolling out the welcome mat for the Arizona State Executive Committee meeting in Pima County! Thank you to our ALMOST 600 Precinct Committeemen for all the work you do, to the PIMA GOP team that works tirelessly, and to all our Republicans who understand that to WIN, WIN, WIN, we must stand united.
