Happy New Year! Here’s to a year of building an even stronger and more resilient community!

Most walks in the city limits will take you past a utility cabinet wrapped with art, a mural, a community garden, a sculpture, or perhaps even a giant chessboard.

Back here in Flagstaff, we’ll stand together and figure out our next steps. I ask our elected representatives to stand with us. The people who will suffer most from climate inaction are those of us on the ground—the first responders, renters and homeowners, local businesses, the young/elderly/medically fragile—in other words—all of us.

This remarkable event was a milestone not only for the dedicated students, staff, and alumni of NAU but also for the entire Flagstaff community, whose unwavering support helped make this dream a reality.

I’ll keep actively engaged in legislation impacting our community and will always advocate for what, after careful study, I believe to be in our best interest.
