Your MesaZona blogger first met this guy sitting with Mark Svoboda at a table shortly after Slickable's Ice Cream Shop opened on Main Street while they were talking about organizational details for the perennially-popular MACFest Arts & Crafts Festival that's attracted thousands of people to downtown Mesa over the years. . . just one of those many chance encounters that happen all the time here in the New Urban Downtown Mesa?
It happened again about a year later when Steven recruited yours truly to be a volunteer, then again months later at a Creative Place Making workshop staged at Mesa Arts Center.
We exchanged brief words last year during some on-the-street impromptu photo sessions covering downtown activities, but never had the opportunity to talk more about his leadership training activities. Just a couple of days ago, thumbing through the Voter Education Guide for The General Election Nov 8, 2016 there's Steven Adkins [I didn't even know his last name since we were on a first-name basis only] at the top of page 15 CANDIDATES FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE - DISTRICT 26.
