OPINION — As a 16-year Gilbert resident, I’m quite concerned about the cost of, and access to, water and energy, as I’m sure many of my neighbors are. The status of the Colorado River is getting dire, and I’ve seen it with my own eyes while driving to San Diego. Energy and water costs continue to escalate, hurting middle-class Arizonans.
Our ballots are being delivered this week, and we Gilbert residents have a real opportunity this election. We have a candidate for the State Senate in Legislative District 14 who has a lifetime of experience and expertise finding solutions to these critical problems.
Stephanie Walsh is an engineer who built an energy company of over 100 employees working on solving the exact issues we are dealing with. By electing her to our state Legislature, we can help not just Gilbert, but Arizona as well.
