“Arizona Western College is honored to continue bringing our legislators and community together for these annual Town Halls,” said AWC President Dr. Reetika Dhawan, who is moderating the town hall. “These conversations give students, local residents, and elected officials the opportunity to discuss the issues shaping our region and how they connect to the work happening at the state level.”

While State Sen. Brian Fernandez (D-District 23) will appear virtually, AWC has named the following politicians participating in the Town Hall:

State Sen. Tim Dunn (R-District 25) State Rep. Michael Carbone (R-District 25) State Rep. Michele Peña (R-District 23) State Rep. Mariana Sandoval (D-District 23)

“Our community has made it clear that issues such as water, education, public safety, border security, affordable housing, and economic and workforce opportunities are among their highest priorities,” State Sen. Dunn said. “This upcoming Town Hall is an important opportunity to listen, engage, and have an open dialogue with residents about the issues that matter most to them. I encourage everyone to attend, ask questions, share their concerns, and help shape the conversations that will guide our community moving forward.”
