State legislators, city mayors, local government officials and others were all in attendance for the annual WESTMARC Legislative Breakfast held at Tolleson Union High School’s newly built Performing Arts Center.
WESTMARC brought in a panel of Arizona’s state legislators, and they discussed hot topics like Prop 400 and housing, among others.
“Today we’re going to hear from Arizona state legislators to get a better understanding of the key legislative priorities of our state and our region,” said Jon Hoffman, chairman of WESTMARC’s Board of Directors. “I’m proud to see this event provide an opportunity for the West Valley dignitaries, businesses, education leaders to come together and have these invaluable conversations network, all in the continued effort of growing the West Valley.”
Moderated by Surprise’s Government Relations Director Jodi Tas, eight legislatures assumed the stage.
Sen. Frank Carroll from Arizona Legislative District 28; Sen. Flavio Bravo from Arizona Legislative District 26; Sen. Eva Diaz from Arizona Legislative District 22; Rep. Leezah Sun from Arizona Legislative District 22; Rep. Quanta Crews from Arizona Legislative District 26; and Rep. Marcelino Quiñonez from Arizona Legislative District 11 were the participants for the panel, each set to provide insight on the inner working of the state legislature to the public.
