By Steve Christy As we reach mid-year, there’s been no shortage of issues that our region has been addressing, investigating and yes, perhaps even struggling with. The possible incorporation of Vail and Corona de Tucson are a hot topic right now. We have lots of questions, and we hope we can obtain the most informative answers to help guide your...
By Steve Christy On April 16, I received my first COVID-19 shot, deep in the heart – or should I say, “deep in my arm” – of our Vail Community, at Old Vail Middle School. The entire event went off without a hitch and I had the opportunity to observe our members of our region coming together and working together to support the vaccine...
By Steve Christy Our District 4 office is fortunate in that we receive robust and regular emails, letters, and phone calls from our constituents. We rely on resident feedback and it is very helpful to us as we engage in addressing problems and formulating positions. We even hear quite often from folks who don’t live in our District, asking...
By Steve Christy I am honored and grateful for all the support I received from Greater Vail and Corona de Tucson voters in the recent election. The question before us now is what we will do during the next four years as your Supervisor. In the words of another politician from many years ago, my answer is, “Let us continue.” We can...
By Steve Christy Four years ago, I made it very clear that fixing our roads was my top priority. Today, it still is. My efforts, after being elected to the Board of Supervisors, were focused on convincing Pima County Administration, as well as my colleagues on the Board of Supervisors, that road repair needed to be prioritized as the County’s top...

Bear in mind, this meeting had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet was re-scheduled and held while the virus is still wreaking havoc in our lives and on the economy. This meeting exemplified our region’s resiliency and...
By Steve Christy It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come together since I took office as your Supervisor in 2017. I feel compelled to convey to all of you in the Corona de Tucson area what we as a community have done during that time. While we have accomplished a great deal, and I’m proud of that fact, I remain very aware that there is so much...
By Steve Christy For weeks now, all of us have seen the raging fires and smelled the acrid smoke devastating our beautiful Santa Catalina Mountains, threatening Mount Lemmon, village of Summerhaven and other mountain top hamlets. It’s heartbreaking and frightening to witness this destruction. It is also amazing to reflect that this conflagration...
By Steve Christy By now, I am sure most of you are aware that my life’s background is one of retail business – not of politics. I was a first time candidate at 61-years-old. Through numerous decades as a business owner and operator, I have witnessed the negative and deleterious effects that liberal policies have wreaked first hand upon businesses...
By Steve Christy I don’t have to remind or point out to you in any great detail what all of you already know. These are frightening, troubling, and difficult times for all of us in the Southeast Region and Pima County. Terribly unpleasant, unfortunate, and in many cases, devastating occurrences have been unfolding on many different levels...
