Momentum for Arizona as an AI Hotbed is Building, but Not Without Roadblocks

Arizona’s transformation into a major technology hub reached another milestone this month with Cognite’s announcement of its new global headquarters in Tempe. The Industrial AI company’s relocation from Oslo, Norway represents more than just another corporate move; it’s validation of Arizona’s emergence as a serious player in the artificial intelligence economy. With over 100 new jobs coming to the Phoenix area … Read More

Guest Editorial: Mayor Borowsky’s ‘Resident-First’ Mask Slips Off

By ScottsdaleVoter For months Mayor Lisa Borowsky has flooded our mailboxes and social media with the same sermon: “I listen to residents,” “I’m protecting our water and our neighborhoods,” “your voice matters most.” Then, on November 17, she showed us what she really thinks of resident voices.

Scottsdale’s Other Side of Bad Charlie Kirk Politics: This is NOT the Way

By Alexander Lomax I apparently couldn’t go more than a week without some reactionary bullocks regarding Scottsdale and Charlie Kirk came across my screen.

By Alexander Lomax Congressman David Schweikert has decided that after eight terms in the House, he’s ready for a promotion…or at least a different title.

Arizona Democrats Take a Much Needed New Direction with Election of New Chair

By Alexander Lomax It has been an absolutely wild (and not in a good way) 2025 for the Arizona Democratic Party. After a vote of state committee members showed that they desired a real change, they voted out their previous Chair and voted in a relative outsider, Robert Branscomb II. But what followed was an absolute mess: he fired nearly … Read More

On Charlie Kirk, Arizona’s Politics, and Us

By Alexander Lomax I doubt that I need to tell you about the death of Charlie Kirk. Locally you couldn’t have turned on a TV without seeing something about it, and because of the success of the organization he founded, Turning Point USA, it has become an international story, another example of America seemingly splitting at the scenes, another example … Read More

Data Provides the Playbook: How Democrats Can Win in Arizona

By Alexander Lomax As the cliche goes, success has many fathers but failure is an orphan, but in politics these days failure often seems to have many parents.
