Arizona GOP opens new office in north Phoenix
PHOENIX — Gina Swoboda the Arizona GOP chairwoman unveiled the newest ‘Trump Force 47’ office on Monday.
“There is a man who is literally putting his entire life on the line every day. And his name is Donald J. Trump,” said Swoboda, to a crowd in north Phoenix.
Swoboda introduced a handful of Republican nominees, including U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, to the crowd.
Sargon Malki, a member of the group ‘Assyrians for Trump,’ said he has only felt compelled to volunteer for one candidate in his entire life, former President Donald Trump.
“I don’t feel safe for my family, for myself,” the Phoenix resident stated in regard to issues with border security.
Malki said the border and the economy are his two top concerns, both of which he believes Vice President Kamala Harris has yet to address while in the White House.
When working to recruit new voters and he hears from independent voters “Maybe she can change things,” Malki said he responds with, “She hasn’t changed things during her vice presidency, what would change now?”
Harris organizing volunteers, however, claim they’ve a major shift in momentum since Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
“We’ve had 20 thousand new sign-ups here in Arizona for people that are engaging with the campaign, coming out to volunteer,” shared organizing volunteer Emily Michael.
“Reproductive access and reproductive healthcare,” she said, are at the top of her mind as she tries to rally support around the state. Michael continued, “I also grew up here in Arizona in a low-income household with a single mother, as the oldest daughter. So economic issues are really important.”
Republicans like Mesa Mayor John Giles are among the latest GOP politicians to shift their support behind Vice President Harris on Monday, ahead of her visit to the valley later this week.

Warmer temps increase rattlesnake risks: Arizona Game and Fish
PHOENIX – Officials with the Arizona Game and Fish Department said unseasonably warm temperatures in the state will increase risks for rattlesnake encounters.
What they’re saying:
In a statement released on Feb. 27, the agency said while rattlesnakes are most active in desert areas from March through October, they “may appear earlier in the year as warming temperatures bring them out of winter hibernation.”
“During the spring, it’s common for rattlesnakes to be out during daylight hours,” read a portion of the statement. “As the days become increasingly hot, rattlesnakes tend to move around more at night.”
What you can do:
Officials said there are things people can do to keep themselves safe, including:
- Step back and let a rattlesnake move away if you see one on a trail
- Be mindful of where you place your feet and hands, because rattlesnakes can easily blend in with their surroundings
- Carry a flashlight at night, especially on warmer nights when rattlesnakes can be most active
- Clean up yard debris and reduce standing water near homes, in order to avoid attracting rattlesnakes
- Stay on marked trails, as rattlesnakes encounters are more likely to occur when a person leaves a marked trail
Game and Fish officials said people should do the following if someone was bitten by a rattlesnake:
- Remain calm
- Reassure the victim
- Call 911 and seek medical attention without delay
- Remove all jewelry and watches from the affected area
- Immobilize the extremity, and keep it below the heart
- Decrease total body activity, as feasible
