Serving Southern Arizona has taught me one lesson over and over again. Progress rarely happens in a single meeting or legislative session. It happens through relationships, persistence, and a commitment to show up for the community you represent.
Santa Cruz County sits at the center of international trade, culture, and opportunity. The Nogales port of entry is one of the most important economic gateways in the country. The work we do here affects families, businesses, and communities on both sides of the border. That reality shapes how I approach public service.
Over the years, I have worked closely with local leaders, businesses, educators, and community organizations throughout Santa Cruz County. Those conversations often begin in community meetings, school events, or local gatherings. They continue through months and sometimes years of work to move an idea forward.
One example is the investment in the I-19 and Ruby Road interchange area. Improving infrastructure in that corridor helps strengthen the safety and efficiency of the transportation network that supports regional commerce and daily travel.
Another effort involved working with local officials and community partners to secure $6.2 million for much-needed road repairs in Nogales. Reliable roads are essential for families, small businesses, and the international trucking industry that moves goods through our region every day.
Trade is a defining part of life in Santa Cruz County. That is why I have worked closely with industry leaders and cross-border partners to support infrastructure and policy that keep our trade corridors strong and competitive. In recognition of that work, I was honored to receive the 2025 Champion of Trucking Award from the Arizona Trucking Association.
Public service also means collaboration beyond transportation and trade. Water sustainability, economic development, education, and health care are all part of our border communities' long-term future. I continue to work with partners across Arizona and Mexico, as well as local nonprofits, educators, and medical organizations that serve families in the region.
Earlier this year, I was honored to receive the 2025 Good Government Award from the County Supervisors Association of Arizona. I see recognitions like this as a reflection of the partnerships that make progress possible.
Santa Cruz County has always been a place defined by resilience, cooperation, and a deep sense of community. My role as your State Senator is to keep listening, keep building relationships, and keep showing up so that the voices of this region are heard and respected.
There is still more work ahead. Together, we will continue strengthening the economic vitality, infrastructure, and quality of life that make Santa Cruz County such a special place to call home.
