🚨 ICYMI: Our CEO @JonSeaton18 joined The Gaggle podcast this week to discuss Arizona's upcoming Primary Elections.
Get the scoop on what to expect from the Copper State on Tuesday next week: https://t.co/uMJmDmjue1
Former tent dwelling drug addict and now Case Manager for We Heart testifies that allowing him to camp in a park prolonged his addiction. As a Case Manager he witnessed an addicted mom and baby girl live unsafely in a park👇🏼Cops need a camping ban to enforce laws safely and urgently.
🚨🚨 Arizonans should watch this video of Katie Hobbs and ask themselves:
Does this look or sound like someone who wants to tell the public the truth about their alleged involvement in a pay-to-play scheme?
Proud to welcome my longtime friend and colleague, former Congressman @MattSalmonAZ, as our new Managing Director of Government Affairs at @EchoCanyonUSA
Matt and I first connected over a decade ago while working on VA reform and accountability legislation.
Excited to see the impact he’ll have as we continue growing our government affairs practice. Welcome aboard, Matt!
Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
Today we celebrate the milestone anniversary of the greatest nation on earth.
We couldn't be prouder to be a part of the American story, and we look forward to the next 250 years of freedom, opportunity, and American exceptionalism.
Shoplifting is among the highest reported crimes in Tucson. We all pay the price. Use extreme caution when dealing with criminals, the legal system is rigged against victims in Tucson.
A security officer was brutally assaulted early Thursday morning while confronting suspected drug use and trespassing near 29th Street and Craycroft Road.
According to Treestone Security Services, Officer I. Valente was attacked by multiple individuals, including one who allegedly used a metal pipe. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and is now recovering at home.
TCFC is thankful Officer Valente was not injured even more seriously. But this should never be treated as normal.
In Tucson, businesses and property owners are increasingly left to deal with trespassing, drug activity, disorder, and violent offenders because there are not enough Tucson Police officers available to provide the level of proactive enforcement our community needs. Security officers are filling the gap—and they are being assaulted for it.
Soft-on-crime policies have consequences. When repeat trespassers, drug users, and violent offenders face little meaningful accountability, businesses, employees, customers, and private security officers pay the price.
Tucson needs more police officers, stronger enforcement of trespassing and drug laws, and a justice system that protects victims instead of repeatedly cycling dangerous offenders back onto the street.
We wish Officer Valente a full recovery and hope every person involved is identified, arrested, and held accountable.
I’m ready for this. Business is the most important factor in a community because it provides the resources for the rest. Vibrant and strong communities start with strong economies. I’m excited to have the business community behind me. @WinchesterforAZ
@spencerpratt@Jules31415 Many cities, including Tucson have perfected not enforcing laws, then celebrate by saying crime is down. The funniest part is some people “believe” it.

I enjoyed joining Bryan Hyde and the Phoenix Business Brief Podcast to discuss the future of public affairs, the impact of AI on campaigns and advocacy, and the story behind building @EchoCanyonUSA.
We covered how technology is reshaping communications, why strong relationships still matter, and the importance of building a business around good people, shared values, and a commitment to excellence.
Thanks to the Phoenix Business Brief team for the great conversation.

Tucson Councilmember Miranda Schubert is a self-identified socialist, and her latest column shows it.
She divides Tucson into those with "compassion" and those without. That's a convenient way to dismiss residents, neighborhoods, and business owners who are raising legitimate concerns about the consequences of failed city policies.
Schubert asks who is being "left behind." What about the families avoiding parks? The businesses losing customers? The residents dealing with encampments, addiction, crime, and deteriorating quality of life?
Do they not count?
She points to the South 12th Avenue road diet and fare-free transit as success stories. Many Tucsonans strongly disagree.
Yet this Mayor and Council continue to double down while telling residents their concerns aren't valid.
The more they defend these failed policies, the more people are realizing the problem isn't a lack of compassion.
It's a lack of accountability.
Schubert and the City Council have lost sight of government's most basic responsibilities: public safety, functional infrastructure, and protecting the quality of life for the people who live and work here. Instead, they continue to prioritize ideological goals while core city services and public confidence deteriorate.
Tucson is showing the results.
Residents see it in their neighborhoods, businesses feel it on their bottom lines, and families experience it in their daily lives.
The question isn't whether Tucson can afford a different approach.
It's whether
Tucson can afford more of the same.

However only 3 of 39 took services. We have seen this play out before in the encampments.
There is a small percentage of folks willing to make the change. Others have become service resistant.
More tax payer money and services does not fix that.
Our elected officials can write their endless op eds about their perceived “compassion.” However there is no hiding from the reality of the streets of Tucson.
