“For a retiree on a fixed income, there is no such thing as “just” another $20 a month.”

💡 Did you catch yesterday’s debate between the candidates running for the Arizona Corporation Commission in November’s election?

If you missed it, follow the link below to watch on YouTube so you don’t miss out on this lesser-known but very important race! 📺
