OPINION — As a 14-year-old Basis Scottsdale freshman, I cannot yet vote. However, the Scottsdale City Council race deeply impacts my town and the future of the only place I can remember calling home.
I am an LD3 resident, canvassing door to door in support of Mr. Raoul Zubia. Before I could knock on doors for him, I needed to know where he stood on the issues.
Mr. Zubia is looking to keep Scottsdale sustainable for generations (including mine) to come. His focus on our water future is essential to maintaining our wonderful community. Conservation efforts and drought protection are vital to keep Scottsdale safe from water shortages. He wants to protect neighborhoods by working for heat relief. He wants to make our long, hot summers more comfortable by providing shade structures and increasing tree cover.
