Senator recently launched her Rural Development Working Group to develop and deliver lasting solutions to the issues facing rural communities
THATCHER – Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema and Arizona Republican Congressman Juan Ciscomani held a roundtable with local leaders from Graham and Greenlee Counties to discuss their communities’ priorities.
“I’m focused on the implementation of our bipartisan infrastructure law to ensure Greenlee and Graham Counties get their fair share of federal dollars. I’m grateful to Congressman Ciscomani and local leaders for their partnership in getting things done for Greenlee and Graham Counties,” said Sinema.
“From city council to local business owners, our community leaders have a unique pulse on the needs of each of our communities. It was great to spend time in Thatcher with Senator Sinema today to discuss how we can be strong federal partners to our cities and counties, and hear directly from local leaders across Graham and Greenlee Counties,” said Ciscomani.
Sinema and Ciscomani discussed with local elected leaders a range of topics impacting their communities – including accessing health care, strengthening water security, addressing workforce challenges, and rebuilding outdated infrastructure.
