ICYMI: Mayor Freeman and other Arizona mayors unite to form the Coalition for Protecting Arizona’s Lifeline 
August 27, 2025 at 5:13 pm
Mayors
from across Arizona have come together to form the Coalition for
Protecting Arizona's Lifeline, a nonpartisan alliance committed to
collaborating and advocating for Arizona's allocation of Colorado River
water and Central Arizona Project (CAP). 
The Coalition is comprised of
trusted local leaders from cities served by CAP, a 336-mile-long
aqueduct that delivers Colorado River water to Maricopa, Pima and Pinal
counties. CAP is the largest water delivery system in the state,
supplying water to millions of Arizonans.
The announcement was made at the annual Arizona League of Cities and Towns conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. Members of the Coalition at time of release include:
City of Phoenix - Mayor Kate Gallego
City of Tucson - Mayor Regina Romero
City of Mesa - Mayor Mark Freeman
City of Surprise - Mayor Kevin Sartor
City of Apache Junction - Mayor Chip Wilson City of Avondale - Mayor Mike Pineda
City of Buckeye - Mayor Eric Orsborn
Town of Carefree - Mayor John Crane
City of Casa Grande - Mayor Lisa Navarro Fitzgibbons Town of Cave Creek - Mayor Robert Morris
City of Chandler - Mayor Kevin Hartke
City of Coolidge - Mayor Jon Thompson
City of El Mirage - Mayor Alexis Hermosillo City of Eloy - Mayor Andrew Sutton
Town of Florence - Mayor Keith Eaton Town of Gilbert - Mayor Scott Anderson City of Glendale - Mayor Jerry Weiers
City of Goodyear - Mayor Joe Pizzillo
Town of Marana - Mayor Jon Post
Town
of Oro Valley - Mayor Joe Winfield Town of Queen Creek - Mayor Julia
Wheatley City of Scottsdale - Mayor Lisa Borowsky City of Tempe - Mayor

The Coalition comes at a pivotal time as the Colorado River is threatened by prolonged drought, over-allocation and ongoing regional tensions. The Colorado River is the lifeline of Arizona's economy, agriculture, tribal communities and way of life.
"We
are grateful to these mayors for leading at this critical time for
Arizona,"
---said Brenda Burman, general manager, Central Arizona Project.
"The Coalition represents many diverse desert communities that have one thing in common - they are water smart. These cities have shown that it's possible to conserve water while fostering resilient economies and creating communities people are proud to call home."
The impetus for the Coalition came from discussions with municipalities regarding water security and was championed by four Mayors across the state including City of Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, City of Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, City of Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman and City of Surprise Mayor Kevin Sartor.

"Here in Phoenix and across the state, we rely on the Colorado River.
Our cities depend on this water to sustain our communities, grow our
economies and protect our future. Arizona must come together to defend
and secure this vital resource."
City of Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego
●
"Any dramatic reduction or reallocation of Colorado River water that
CAP delivers to its users would have significant negative implications
for our total quality of life, economy and the security of our country.
We want to make it clear through this coalition and our collaboration
that water security is not a partisan issue. It is a shared Arizona
priority that transcends political lines and regional divisions."
City of Tucson Mayor Regina Romero
●
"We are proud of Arizona's track record on water stewardship. Today, we
use less water per capita than ever before, even as our population has
surpassed seven million. Our cities are proving that smart water
management and economic growth can go hand in hand."
City of Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman
●
"We must act now to protect Arizona's lifeline. Together, our voices
are stronger, our message is clearer and our commitment is unwavering."
City of Surprise Mayor Kevin Sartor
The Colorado River sustains more than 40 million people across the Southwest. It is shared by seven U.S. states- the Upper Basin (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming) and the Lower Basin (Arizona, California, Nevada)-as well as Mexico. The Colorado River Basin is also home to 30 tribal communities.
Arizona and the Lower Basin states have consistently brought forward collaborative, science-based solutions to proactively protect the Colorado River system. Communities across Arizona have pioneered conservation programs, water reuse projects and efficient irrigation technologies to become models of responsible and smart water management.
"Central Arizona's share of the Colorado River is foundational to our water planning, land use decisions, economic security and national defense," said CAWCD Board President Terry Goddard. "We thank these mayors for coming together in the Coalition for Protecting Arizona's Lifeline to advocate for our water future."

Reminder from Axios (below). . .Inflation may still sit above the Fed’s target, but the greater risk to the economy lies in the pace and severity of labor market weakening | @elerianm
Even when overall CPI inflation looks relatively contained, the headline rate often hides huge differences—some items see particularly sharp price hikes, while others may mev even be falling in price.
In today’s data, one standout inflation jump also has adverse distributional implications.
With the US CPI numbers matching the consensus forecasts, the main market mover this morning is jobless claims, which came in far higher than expected (please see tables below).
The overall signal from this week’s data is clear—and one I’ve stressed for some time, now increasingly echoed by others: inflation may still sit above the Fed’s target, but the greater risk to the economy lies in the pace and severity of labor market weakening.
