Proud to be in DC with U.S. Mayors Homelessness Task Force, advocating for federal solutions to reduce homelessness and increase access to affordable housing. Good meetings with White House officials, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, Rep. Greg Stanton and others.

Our water portfolio is robust, but we need to be engaged in water conservation. This federal investment in water infrastructure will prevent water loss by buying smart meters and replacing aging water main lines, some 40-50 years old. Thanks to Rep. Greg Stanton for your support!

Cities and towns are housing advocates, and we’re committed to working together with all stakeholders to support the right housing strategies that help get more residents into homes. Thank you, Governor Katie Hobbs, for vetoing HB2570.
ICYMI City of Mesa, Arizona Mayor John Giles stood among fellow mayors, councilmembers, and community leaders to voice their concern over the 'deeply flawed' HB 2570. 'Cities & towns are committed to working collaboratively with #azleg on efforts to reduce this #housingshortage .' See the…
