On Friday, August 23rd, I attended the Trump rally at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ. As the Councilmember representing the Yucca district which encompasses Westgate and the arena, I was excited to attend.

Trump Rally at Desert Diamond Arena, Glendale AZ

The arena was packed and is typical of Trump rallies, there were thousands more who couldn’t fit into the arena. The line up of speakers were:

  • Sheriff Mark Lamb
  • Riley Gaines
  • Bob, CEO and President of Goya Foods
  • Glendale’s very own Mayor, Jerry Weiers
  • Tyler Bower
  • Maricopa County Schools Supervisor candidate Shelli Boggs
  • Congressman Eli Crane
  • Congressman Paul Gosar
  • Sheriff candidate Jerry Sheridan
  • Congressman Andy Biggs
  • Maricopa County Recorder candidate Justin Heap
  • US Congressional candidate Abe Hamadeh
  • Turning Point President Charlie Kirk
  • US Senate candidate Kari Lake
  • President Donald Trump

Mayor Weiers did a great job of welcoming all attendees to Glendale and offered some

Glendale highlights before he spoke about the importance of reelecting President Trump.  In my opinion, there were two speakers who were outstanding. Their speeches had fire and passion. One was Congressman Andy Biggs who questioned the state of our nation today and contrasted that with  the country when President Trump left office. The other was Charlie Kirk who spoke about the importance of this election and rallied all to get involved and to make the effort to encourage others to vote. Each was able to electrify the crowd.

President Trump was his usual warm and amusing self and gave the speech I had seen

President Trump
Robert Kennedy Jr.

on TV many times. The highlight of the event was the appearance of Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The crowd went wild, chanting, “Bobby, Bobby.” Kennedy announced that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing President Trump. He urged unity between both groups. It was obvious that he could no longer be a part of the Democrat party in this election as it had worked to kick him off the ballot in numerous states. He basically said the Democrat party was no longer the party that his Father had once led. It was an amazing event, and I am so glad I was able to witness what was an historic political event.

Am I voting for Trump? You bet I am. If for no other reason (and there are plenty of them) than the cost of food and the cost of gas. Just ask yourself, “Are you better off financially than you were four years ago?” The American Dream is no longer attainable for our young.

I urge you to vote in November and to cast your vote for Donald Trump.
