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...
from Steve Christy During these difficult times, a couple of noteworthy events took place recently that I believe, if both come to fruition, will have a very positive economic impact on Pima County. First, a ceremony was held in Nogales, Arizona on March 4, celebrating the groundbreaking of major improvements to State Route 189. Starting from the...
By Steve Christy As your Supervisor, one of my favorite Vail community events to attend and participate in each year is Vail Pride Day. And this year’s extravaganza topped them all.

By Steve Christy It’s difficult to fathom that another year has passed, is now behind us, and that we are now welcoming not only a new year, but also a new decade. Looking back over 2019, we are grateful to be able to note that your District 4 and our Southeast Region community have achieved a number of significant accomplishments. More than 25...
By Steve Christy PAYGO Adopted in Pima County For the first time in the nearly three years that I’ve loved being your supervisor, and for the first time, as well, since I began writing this column, I actually feel a sense of positivity and hopefulness that Pima County will actually start to just fix our roads significantly. Mrs. Christy, among...
By Article Author During the Pima County Board of Supervisors meeting on October 1st, after a 4 – 1 vote, the Community Law Enforcement Partnership Commission was disbanded, dissolved, dismantled, and otherwise de-commissioned. This is good news for Pima County. As I have stated on numerous occasions, in this publication and at other public venues...
By Steve Christy After more than 30 years, we are on the verge of witnessing the opening of the first phase of homes in the long-anticipated Rocking K master-planned community within Pima County’s “crown jewel,” the Vail, Corona de Tucson, and southeast region of District 4.
