  Sine Kerr: What Would Arizona’s First Lieutenant Governor Actually Do?

  Sep 24, 202623 min

  Sine Kerr, Republican nominee for Arizona’s newly created office of lieutenant governor and Andy Biggs’ running mate, joins me to discuss what the job would actually look like and the role she hopes to play in a Biggs administration. We talk about Arizona’s rapid growth and whether the state has gone too far in courting massive data centers, the increasing pressure on Arizona’s water supplies, housing affordability and whether the Legislature has a role in bringing down housing costs. Kerr also discusses several of the Biggs-Kerr campaign’s policy proposals and how her background in agriculture, water policy and the Arizona Legislature would shape her approach to becoming Arizona’s first lieutenant governor.

  Flagstaff’s Housing Is Already Expensive — Are New Building Codes About to Make It Worse?

  Sep 24, 202640 min

  Local builder and contractor Mark Haughwout joins me to sound the alarm over Flagstaff’s move toward the latest International Building, Energy and Fire Codes — and what he says they could mean for the cost of building a home. Mark breaks down his estimates of how much the new requirements could add to construction costs and discusses snow-load standards, energy efficiency, sustainability mandates and the growing list of requirements builders face in Flagstaff. The city argues the updated codes will improve safety, wildfire resilience and energy efficiency while potentially reducing long-term costs. But Mark raises the other side of the equation: How much more can we add to the upfront price of a home in a city already struggling with housing affordability? We dig into the tradeoff between sustainability, safety and affordability — and whether Flagstaff is making it increasingly difficult to build housing ordinary people can afford.

  Olivia Oravits: Are Political Ads Broken? + Potential Super El Niño

  Sep 24, 202643 min

  Olivia Oravits joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about politics, money and what could be a very interesting winter in Arizona. We start with political advertising: What actually gets people's attention anymore? With voters bombarded by digital ads, texts, emails and social media, could old-school campaign signs and physical mailers actually be making a comeback? Then we tackle the federal government’s $40 trillion national debt, rising interest costs and the perennial political promise to solve our fiscal problems by simply “taxing the rich.” Finally, after an unusually wet Arizona monsoon, we look ahead to a strengthening El Niño. Could Northern Arizona be headed for a big snow year? We discuss the predictions, what El Niño historically means for Arizona and why even a “super” El Niño doesn’t guarantee a blockbuster winter.

  Alex Kolodin Wants to Change How Arizona Runs Elections

  Sep 24, 202626 min

  Republican candidate for Arizona Secretary of State Alex Kolodin joins me to talk about his campaign, Arizona’s election system and what he would change if voters put him in charge of the Secretary of State’s Office. We get into election security, voter confidence, how long it takes Arizona to count ballots, voter ID and the rules governing our elections. Kolodin also discusses his experience as an election attorney and state legislator, Proposition 144, and his case for replacing incumbent Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. With another major election approaching, we dig into a fundamental question: How should Arizona run its elections — and what would an Alex Kolodin administration do differently?

  Sep 24, 202627 min

  Jonathan Nez, former president of the Navajo Nation and Democratic candidate for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District, joins me to make his case for replacing Congressman Eli Crane in Washington. We discuss the issues facing Northern and rural Arizona, including the rising cost of living, water, healthcare, infrastructure and the role of the federal government in our communities. Nez also talks about his experience leading the Navajo Nation, working across party lines and why he believes CD2 voters should make a change in November. It’s a wide-ranging conversation with one of the two major-party candidates asking voters to represent Arizona’s sprawling 2nd Congressional District in Congress.
