Arizona Republican Mayor Who Endorsed Kamala Harris: ‘My City Would Not Be Well Served by a Second Trump Presidency’

‘During the Trump Administration, cities were largely ignored’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GILES: "Well, yeah, I care a lot about the city of mesa I have no interest in pursuing politics so my job is doing a good job of mesa, Arizona. Nowadays, the mayor of mesa, Arizona asks for the White House quite a bit, I am the mayor of Arizona, I have been the mayor for 10 years now, under President Obama, President Trump and President Biden that I have seen the impact that a presidential administration can have on cities and during the Trump Administration, cities were largely ignored. During the Biden Administration, we have enjoyed a good relationship and we have seen record investment in our communities and we are seeing economic prosperity as a result of that. And so I thought it was— I am a Republican, but I have elect did to be a nonpartisan mayor. My city council is made up of Democrats and independents and Republicans and we all get along very well and we do a great job when we focus on the problems that are in front of us, rather than getting into the weeds and trying to be partisan. So, that was really— the context that compelled me to speak up in this situation. My city would not be well served, by a second Trump presidency.”
