West Valley stakeholders joined state and federal representatives at the WESTMARC Legislative Agenda Breakfast in mid-June to hear about highlights from the 2019 legislative session.
WESTMARC, or the Western Maricopa Coalition — an economic development agency comprised of the 15 communities, businesses and educational institutions in the West Valley — invited Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale; Sen. Tony Navarrete, D-Phoenix; Rep. Joanne Osborne, R-Goodyear; and Democratic Rep. Lorenzo Sierra, AZ LD 19, to participate in the event’s panel discussion at the Arizona State University West campus.
The panel opened by asking each of the legislators to rate the 2019 legislative session on a scale of one to 10. Kern and Navarrete, who rated it a seven, noted there were significant bipartisan efforts throughout the session.
