Marisa Scionti, Flagstaff chapter lead for Moms Demand Action How do we know that America needs gun reform? Every day, 100 Americans die by a gun. Other developed countries have a fraction of our rate of gun violence. On Valentine’s Day this year, we remembered the 17 victims of the Parkland shooting killed one year […]
by Christa Sadler, 2d Vice Chair of ADP Environmental Caucus Drought Contingency Plan Arizona finally got realistic and signed the Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) on the very last day they could do so, January 31.

by Christa Sadler, 2d Vice Chair Greetings from the second vice-chair of the ADP Environmental Caucus.

Assuming both candidates get their signatures, this would create a contested primary in the LD6 Senate race.
