Christian Price, Mayor of Maricopa stated, “As the former President of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, I have been able to see firsthand the success our communities can have when they can work together to strengthen our state and grow our economy. Bridget Binsbacher understands this and has a proven track record of collaboration that benefits not only Peoria, but the entire region and state.

In addition, she is backed by leaders of Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Tolleson, Wickenburg, and Youngtown as well as the current and two previous mayors of Peoria.

Like them, I recognize that when the state, region, or community succeed, we all succeed. I look forward to competing against them to secure the most desirable business, residential, and entertainment opportunities. At the same time, I also look forward to collaborating with them on critical issues that impact all of us – especially water and economic development.”
