A few weeks ago, during our Aug. 4 City Council meeting, we heard the final draft of Maricopa’s new economic development strategic plan.

The most important number in the presentation was this: Maricopa has only one local job for every 10.6 residents. The Greater Phoenix average is closer to one job for every two residents.

That imbalance means thousands of residents leave Maricopa for work every day. They also spend money in other communities, reducing the tax revenue available for our roads, public safety and other city services.

The plan recommends recruiting a mid- to large-scale hospital, pursuing additional regional road connections and directly contacting high-wage employers. It also recommends targeting high-tech suppliers along Chandler’s Price Road corridor, strengthening partnerships with our business organizations, and comparing our development costs with those of competing cities.

During the presentation, I said Maricopa must become “next-step obsessed.” A strategic plan sitting on a shelf does not create a single job. We need consistent outreach, clearly assigned responsibilities and follow-through with business executives.

The Maricopa Public Private Alliance, of which I am a member, already brings together education, utilities, elected officials, and city staff at the same table. We need to continue using that structure to turn conversations into actual investment.

The progress on State Route 347 also changes how we can market Maricopa. For years, transportation has been the first objection raised by potential employers. We now need to use the funded improvements as an economic development asset while continuing to pursue alternate routes.

No projects, incentives, or funding were approved during this presentation. It was discussion only. The next step should be a clear implementation plan with responsible parties, costs, timelines, and measurable milestones.

My goal remains the same: bring more quality private-sector jobs to Maricopa, strengthen our tax base and give residents more opportunities to work closer to home.

What do you believe Maricopa should pursue first?

This is crazy!

For the second time in a row, Jesus Rubalcava won a seat on the Gila Bend Town Council in a game of chance. The result got complicated, though.

Over the next 10 weeks, I’m gonna to be giving you facts and data of what I’ve been doing and why you should consider me for one of your votes on City Council.

08/26/2026

Beginning Monday, I will launch a 10-week series examining my record on the Maricopa City Council since 2014.

Each week will focus on a different issue, including SR 347, alternative transportation routes, property tax rates, public safety, jobs, utility advocacy, regional representation, and Maricopa’s overall progress.

I will provide sources residents can review. I will also be clear about what I personally advocated for or voted for, what the council and city accomplished together, and what work remains unfinished. No inflated claims and no pretending one person built a city.

I am asking residents to review the record, check the sources, ask questions, and decide whether my experience should continue serving Maricopa.

Twelve years of service. Ten weeks of facts. A record you can verify.

Which issue matters most to you as you consider this election?
