Hey y'all! I’ve got some personal news to share. This week will be my last at @azcentral. I'm leaving for an exciting new opportunity.

It’s a bittersweet moment. I’ve learned so much in this newsroom, and it’s been an honor to work with so many talented journalists.

[Stacey Barchenger @sbarchenger]

Happy State of the State Monday! Our @azcentral statehouse trio (@raystern, @helenrummel & I) will have live updates throughout the day here. Arizona @GovernorHobbs' speech is at 2 p.m. https://t.co/LjLimVzbMQ via @azcentral

One of the greatest honors of my professional life has been working with Valley institution @maryjpitzl.

I’m excited to see what’s next for her after she takes some well-deserved time off!

[Camryn Sanchez @CamrynSanchezAZ]

. @maryjpitzl is a born journalist, a consummate professional, someone I look up to and someone I've turned to more than a few times for advice. She has invaluable institutional knowledge and is truly kind. For the sake of the public, I hope we aren't seeing the last of her

[Pat Poblete @byPatPoblete]

@ElliottWenzler @denverpost Congrats!

Mesa officials entertain MLS stadium talks (and a 2024 law might help that development). Here's what we know, from ⁦@maritzacdom⁩ via @azcentral https://t.co/XqbhiwHjUM

Another early bill introduction down at 1700 W. Washington: HCR2001 to abolish the death penalty in Arizona. It's another attempt by Rep. Patty Contreras, D-Phoenix, to send the issue to the ballot. Two previous efforts went nowhere.

Departing board members are now reflecting on their time in office. @billgatesaz has especially pointed comments on election denialism.

“Do not ever take this democratic republic for granted,” he says, adding it has been put “at risk” in recent years.
