I never tire of traveling our District. There seems to be no end to the good people I meet and the great things happening within the District and County. I was fortunate to spend some time last week at the K9s for Warriors facility in Heidi’s Village. What a beautiful setting they have and what great work they are doing to bless the lives of so many veterans.
Early voting continues for the primary election in this great state and county. How exciting it is to know that “We the People” can affect our community in so many ways. To each of you that have voted thank you for making a difference. I urge all who have not yet voted to study the candidates, their platforms, and the issues of our time. The last day to vote in this primary election is August 2nd.

K9s for Warriors Location if Phoenix
K9s for Warriors is the Nation’s largest provider of service animals for veterans. They have chosen to make Maricopa County their home for the center that will provide service to the veterans in the western part of the United States. I was able to spend a little time with Stella, the beautiful dog you see below, and learned how the animals are trained to provide service for veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or other traumas. What a great blessing it is for us to have them here in the County doing what they do!
