About the Event
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS!
The AZ legislature can often affect our lives more quickly and directly than the legislators in Washington. Get a taste of the wild ride our AZ Dems are on right now with this crazy, radical Republican-controlled legislature. How will this affect us? Can anything positive be accomplished? Is it all up to Katie Hobbs to stop the torrent of terrible bills being proposed? We’ll get an inside look from two well-qualified speakers about how the AZ legislature is shaping up this year. Judy Schweibert, highly respected (returning incumbent) state representative from LD2, will give us an overview of the situation, such as:
The overall “flavor” of each chamber and how that will affect legislating;
Who are some of the key players in each house on the Republican side, the Democratic side, and what do they want to accomplish in this environment;
What are the 3-5 key issues that will grip either or both chambers this year? What are the likely outcomes?
What else we should stay attuned to this year?
How can we best help and support our Democratic legislators this year?
Then Mary Fortney, longtime activist, Judy Schweibert’s campaign manager for the 2022 election, and Cave Creek resident, will tell us about some specific bills we should be following and give us a demo on an effective way that we can make our opinions on these bills known to the legislators.
