Veridus Partner @barrazaj was recently recognized for his 20 years of service to the @AZStateBar's Bar Leadership Institute. Jason regularly contributes his time and expertise to Arizona's next generation of leaders in the legal profession.
Congratulations, Jason!
If you are still upset that @Dbacks didn't make the playoffs again, rest assured, @MLBazFallLeague starts this weekend. Prospects from across MLB assembled on 6 teams for 30 games between Oct. 3 and Nov. 14. mlb.com/arizona-fall-league
If you are enjoying AZ's streams and lakes this weekend, remember that tomorrow, Sept. 5, is "Apache Trout Day." The Apache trout is AZ's State Fish. Read about their recovery here:

One AZ Supreme Court Justice and 81 judges will appear on AZ's ballot for voters to decide if they should remain on the bench. Want info about these individuals? The AZ Commission on JPR has released its "ratings" for judicial performance standards. azcourts.gov/Portals/0/News%…
Refreshing to hear a vision and concrete ideas. These days we mostly make do with complaints and empty promises.
There are three doors a child walks through that will determine their future: the front door of the home, the front door of the school, and the front door of the place of worship. When those doors are aligned, a child can thrive.
We don’t need another commission to tell us what’s wrong with our schools. We need leaders willing to lead and do what’s already working.
From Mississippi to Michigan to New Hampshire, I’ve seen success firsthand. We know what to do so our kids can read at grade level.
The ideas are there. What’s missing is the political leadership to get it done. Watch my interview on @FoxNewsSunday with @ShannonBream below where I lay out a plan on how we can fix America’s broken education system.
Always a pleasure to join @markwbrodie on Friday NewsCap @kjzzphoenix. This week we chatted about mail-in voting, political contributions, and recent AZ polling. @VeridusAZ

Veridus Partners @jeffsandquist and @barrazaj were recently named in the 2027 edition of @BestLawyers in America® for Government Relations in Phoenix.
Jeff, Jason and other honorees were selected following a confidential vote among their peers in the legal community, in which nearly 32,000 attorneys nationwide participated this year.
Congratulations Jeff and Jason!
Boston, Denver, and Philly. The remaining possibilities for the 2028 Democratic National Convention. (The RNC has selected Houston for their convention). I've helped put on DNC's in all three locations, and any would make a perfect backdrop for 2028. cbsnews.com/news/dnc-narrows…
AZ courts took action this week on the remaining ballot measures hoping to make November's ballot. Of note, all Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) measures are removed from the ballot. That leaves 8 measures for voters to consider in AZ this year.

AZ's 1st Lt.Gov. will be former Mesa Mayor, John Giles (Hobbs), or former State Senator, Sine Kerr (Biggs). What will the role of the new Lt.Gov. be, a "silent" partner, or active participant is AZ's executive branch?

Another Spirit of '76: George Washington's Whiskey from @nytimes. What can be better than GW and whiskey? Especially because I have a bottle. Good bit of history coming into the celebration of America's 250.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
