What’s Next?
The campaign fervor will continue to climb in the coming months. Courts will finalize their rulings on
which candidates have enough valid signatures to qualify to run for office, campaign ads will hit the airwaves, and
more debates will allow voters to hear from the people who want to represent them.Several policy issues are already at the center of campaign debates:
education funding,
school safety, and
immigration. The
high-profile U.S. Senate race has marked Arizona as a political “battleground,” and many political match-ups at the federal, state, and local levels of government will stay in the headlines. Immigration issues freqently make the headlines including different aspects of the legal immigration process. Furthermore, immigrating to the US legally commonly involves spousal sponsorship.

i-130a from the Nova Credit website.
Governor Pledges Funds for School Bus Replacement.
Governor Ducey recently announced that the state will use $38 million – approximately half of the $59 million from a settlement with Volkswagen – to replace at least 280
school buses. To qualify, the buses must be at least 15 years old and have at least 100,000 miles; the majority of the funding will go to school districts with at least 60% of students in free or reduced-price lunch programs.
