The PebbleCreek Republican Club welcomed members and invited guests Thursday, October 1 in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom to their regular monthly meeting. Following a 6:30 p.m. Social Time with a cash bar, the meeting followed at 7:00 p.m. where it was announced that membership now totaled 382, including 11 new members that signed up before the meeting. There was a complimentary snack table inside the ballroom throughout the evening.
The Guest Speaker was Michele Reagan, Arizona Secretary of State, who gave a very informative presentation on the many duties and facets of Secretary of State. In addition to being de facto Lieutenant Governor, the office oversees numerous business and election services and has made Arizona the state with the most transparency following the installation of new technology.
Among other areas are overseeing the Domestic Violence Unit, investigating “dark money,” and communications between Arizona and Washington. Following the presentation there was a lively Q & A period.
