JAYNE Mayor, City of Globe; Agent, State Farm Insurance, Navajo County Manager, Holbrook Globe February 2011 February 2010 The 97th Arizona Town Hall convened in November 2010 to develop consensus recommendations addressing the future of Arizona’s government systems. The full text of these recommendations is contained in this final report. An essential element to the success of these consensus-driven discussions is the background research report that is provided to all participants before the Town Hall convenes. The University of Arizona coordinated this detailed and informative background material and it provides a unique resource for a full understanding of the topic. Very special thanks go to H. Brinton Milward who spearheaded this effort, and marshaled top talent to write individual chapters. For sharing their wealth of knowledge and professional talents, our thanks also go to editors Amanda Jones and Ashley Harris, as well as the many authors who contributed to the report. The 97th Town Hall was made possible through the financial assistance of our generous sponsors, which included Collaborating Sponsors Schaller Anderson, Inc. and Salt River Project; Supporting Sponsors Cox Communications, Inc., Snell & Wilmer, Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, and Wells Fargo; Civic Sponsors Horizon Moving, Mohave County, Osborn Maledon, P.A., Perkins Coie Brown & Bain, P.A., and Ryley, Carlock & Applewhite; Consensus Champions Cochise College and Fennemore Craig; and Associate Sponsors Farmers Investment, Hensley Employee Foundation, Kitchell Corporation, RBC Capital Markets, Sun Health Corporation and the Town of Oro Valley. The consensus recommendations that were developed during the course of the 97th Town Hall have been combined with the background information coordinated by the University of Arizona into this single final report that will be shared with public officials, community and business leaders, Town Hall members and many others. We believe that this report, containing the thoughtful recommendations of the 97th Town Hall participants, will guide the development of Arizona’s future government. Sincerely, Bruce Dusenberry Board Chair, Arizona Town Hall The Arizona Town Hall gratefully acknowledges the support of sponsors who understand the importance of convening leaders from throughout the state to develop consensus‐based solutions to critical issues facing Arizona.

    ADP Resolution - Calling For An End To The Senate Filibuster The Arizona Democratic Party Supports President Biden's Agenda We Call For An End To The Filibuster WHEREAS, The Arizona Democratic Party Platform indicates that the Arizona Democratic Party supports, among other things, the right to vote1, non-discrimination2, the Equal Rights Amendment3, worker rights4, immigration reform, living wages, bold action to address climate change, universal health care, and preventing gun violence5; and WHEREAS, Arizona’s Republican state legislators are pursuing an aggressive agenda of voter suppression legislation that, if successful, will require federal legislation like the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure that all eligible Arizona voters can exercise our right to vote without undue barriers; and WHEREAS, Republicans in Congress have indicated a near-universal commitment to obstructing the passage of any bills offered in support of the aforementioned policies by, at least in part, utilizing the non-constitutional Senate Filibuster to prevent any debates or votes on bills proposed by Democrats6, and there is no indication that any 10 Republican Senators are willing join with the 50 Democratic Senators to override the Senate filibuster on the aforementioned issues or President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda; and WHEREAS, By empowering an uncompromising minority of obstructionist Republicans to attempt to improve their political standing by loudly opposing broadly popular legislation to address the aforementioned policy issues rather than engaging the legislative process in a truly bipartisan manner, the Senate filibuster eliminates any political incentive that might encourage Republican Senators to support Democratic legislation designed to benefit all Americans7; and 1 “We[, the Arizona Democratic Party,] support the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states from imposing voting policies, voting qualifications, or other discriminatory practices against United States citizens.

The 24 presently stated goal of the Trump Campaign, as explained by an unnamed official to 25 Bloomberg News on October 27, is to depress voter turnout—in the official’s words: “We 26 have three major voter suppression operations under way” that target Latinos, African 27 Americans, and other groups of voters. While the official discussed communications 28 1 strategies designed to decrease interest in voting, it has also become clear in recent weeks 2 that Trump has sought to advance his campaign’s goal of “voter suppression” by using the 3 loudest microphone in the nation to implore his supporters to engage in unlawful 4 intimidation at Arizona polling places.

  • League of Women Voters of Alaska Supports Ballot Measure 2'S
    League of Women Voters of Alaska Supports Ballot Measure 2’s Election Reform Policies Statement from Judy Andree, President, League of Women Voters of Alaska: The League of Women Voters of Alaska supports Ballot Measure 2 and we encourage Alaskans to vote Yes on 2 this November. Election system reform in Alaska has the potential to create more authentic representation among our diverse communities and to break through the barriers holding back women, people of color, young people, and other historically marginalized groups from getting involved in politics. Our current election system limits competition, making it difficult for challengers to win. Better government and public policy depends upon elected officials who lead from values and truly understand the unique needs of the communities they represent. Ballot Measure 2 will ensure that voters are empowered with more choices on Election Day - both by creating a single unified primary ballot open to all voters, regardless of party affiliation, and by instituting ranked choice voting in general elections. In addition, eliminating “Dark Money” will improve the transparency and integrity of our electoral process once the true identity of who is backing and influencing political candidates is revealed thanks to stricter reporting requirements for large campaign contributions. Our review of these three election reforms offered by Ballot Measure 2 determined that the initiative advances the goals of the League of Women Voters and meets all eight criteria for assessing whether a proposed electoral

  • Arizona Democratic Party Regular Meeting of the ADP State Committee Saturday, May 30, 2020 Virtual Meeting, Phoenix, Arizona
    DRAFT Arizona Democratic Party Regular Meeting of the ADP State Committee Saturday, May 30, 2020 Virtual Meeting, Phoenix, Arizona Chair Felecia Rotellini called the meeting of the ADP State Committee to order at 10:00 am. Parliamentarian Jeanne Lunn provided an overview as to how to use the GoTo Webinar platform. The video “Why I am a Democrat” was shown; Rotellini then led the Pledge of Allegiance and introduced several guest speakers. Muthoni Wambu Kraal, DNC Political Director, talked about how the party is working together to elect strong leaders and is building one of our strongest inter-generational benches. She said that Arizona is a true battleground state and will be carrying much for the country. Currently the DNC has invested around $1 million in Arizona through various programs for this election and is particularly focused on outreach and organizing. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said that while all elections important, this one can help us change all the policies that are preventing us from supporting our families and communities, both in Arizona and across the country. She discussed the transformation that Democrats have made in New Mexico over the past decade or so – following the 2018 election, the entire Congressional delegation and every statewide office was won by a Democrat and more women were elected to statewide office and appellate courts. In one year, new policies regarding the environment, voting, the minimum wage, funding for education, and more have been put in place. Additionally, New Mexico has been a leader in terms of response to the pandemic.

In Reckless Pursuit: Barry Goldwater, A Team of Amateurs and the Rise of Conservatism Department of History, Union College, June 2014 ADVISOR: Andrew J. Morris, Ph.D. Before 1964, Barry Goldwater had never lost an election. In fact, despite being the underdog in both of his U.S. Senate elections in Arizona, in 1952 and 1958, he defied the odds and won. His keen ability for organization, fundraising and strategy was so widely respected that his Republican colleagues appointed the freshman senator to chair their campaign committee in 1955, with conservatives and liberals alike requesting his aid during contentious elections.

Admiral James Stockdale Ross Perot's Third Partv Vice Presidential Candidate at a 1-992 television debater Jerry Brown is the only governor to be elected to frour terms, albeit in two iterations.' Unless term limits are Iifted, no subsequent governor will match his record, But even il he had a ntore conventional gubernatorial history, i.e., if he hadn't been governor in the mid-to-late l-970s and early 1-980s, Lry 2015, he would have "owned" the condition of the state budget. After all, his second iteration began with his (rer)election as governor in 201-0. When he took off ice in January 2011-, and for six months into that terrn, he was under the budget of his predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, But by the time the 201-5-16 state: budget was being proposed and enacted, there had already been three purely Brown state budgets during his second iteration, The budget of 2O1,5-L6, whose enactment we review below, was Brown's fourth.
