Legislative Update

September was a busy month. Thirteen meetings with elected officials and 3 with candidates who are poised to win their election. Strategy to get all of our bills passed next session was set and discussed with several key legislative supporters.

The 2020 Voter Guide is published and available on the ABATE webpage in case you didn’t receive it in your email inbox.

September was full of meetings as well. Both in person, phone meetings and of course Zoom. (FYI. I still laugh at zoom meetings because of the video ad of the guy in a zoom meeting without pants on.)

Two meetings with Congressional representatives – Congressman Schweikert himself and Congresswoman Lesko’s staff. We took ten meetings with state legislators to discuss the upcoming legislative agenda. State Senators Brophy-McGee and Townsend. State Representatives Lieberman, Bolick, Andrade, Espinoza, Carroll, Sierra, Butler and Kern. Took a meeting with Phoenix City Councilwoman Ann O’Brien.

Motorcycle Day at the Dome: The February date we requested was not available. The earliest date is April 12th on the House lawn. I made the decision to go with that date and we began the project timeline.

Our November and holiday season doesn’t look like it will be slowing down at all either. Lots of things we still need to complete before session begins on January 11th.

Don’t forget to vote.
