Our guest today is Eric Hayes. Eric is a Turning Point Action field representative overseeing western Arizona and the Phoenix west valley area, who started his political journey at the age of 16 as an influencer.

He is a Precinct Committeeman and at just 19 years old, he ran the field for Turning Point Action in Maricopa County during the 2022 election cycle.

Eric considers himself a bridge for the everyday American and the people in politics.

1) We often hear about the generation gap, but you want to be a bridge across generations and between average Americans and the power structure of politics. What sparked that in you? What is your story?

2) What is TPAction and what is Turning Point Action doing for the 2024 election?

3) In your experience, how do people in your generation view Individual Liberties like the Second Amendment?

4) What is one thing you want to say to people in their 20s? 30s? 40s? 50s? And older?

5) Where will we see you in 20 years? What are some of your big goals?

Our guest today is Michelle Ugenti-Rita. Michelle is a native Arizonan who has served in the Arizona legislature for 12 years in both the AZ State House and the AZ State Senate. In the 2024 election, she is campaigning for a seat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
1) Serving for over a decade in the AZ State Legislature has to have prepared you for several elected positions. What is it about the MCBOS that caused you to toss your hat in the ring?
2) Most people had never heard about the MCBOS before the 2020 Election, and then suddenly every national news outlet was talking about it. How can the voters better supervise the Supervisors in the future?
3) Some say that Maricopa County is too large to trust to so few people with such a long list of responsibilities. What do you say about that?
4) What has been your proudest moment as an elected official?
5) What has been your hardest lesson as a leader? 
6) What makes you uniquely qualified to hold one of the five seats on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors?
