“Yuma County is important. We have to win or do our best to kind of work for us as a fighting chance. And Yuma County has good representation in good state reps and state senators. They understand the needs of this area when it comes to education, when it comes to agriculture and water. We’re going to need someone to make sure at the state level and don’t forget Yuma when it comes to a lot of the same things too,” Gallego said.
