What should the Arizona Legislature do to improve groundwater management in rural Arizona? Should legislators take action to protect the Verde River, the only surviving living river in Arizona?Candidates for Legislative District 1 (LD1) will discuss these water-related questions and more. 

Forum participants are State Senate Candidate Mike Fogel (D), and candidates for the State House Selina Bliss (R- incumbent), Jay Ruby (D), and Marcia Smith (D). 

Each candidate was been provided with the questions and a set of basic facts in advance of the Forum. Please download the Questions and the Basic Facts. 

CWAG is nonpartisan, but all water issues are political. The purpose of the LD1 Candidate Forum is to insert water policy into our political and electoral dialogue and to inform voters and candidates about water issues.
