It's me, I'm "opponent."

I was interviewed by Mark Brodie from The Show on KJZZ Phoenix regarding the Parental Restriction pilot program… er, Parental CHOICE 🤷… and got to call out the real agenda by Debbie Lesko and her ilk.

Parental choice program causing controversy at Queen Creek library (AZFamily | 3TV & CBS 5 News)

5/8/2025

0 Comments

 
It was an honor and a privilege to meet Mickaela Castillo from azfamily 3TV CBS 5 this morning to discuss the new “Parental Choice” pilot program at Queen Creek Library. This is a Maricopa County Board of Supervisors measure championed by former Young Republican and Rudy Giuliani campaign volunteer Thomas Galvin. It allows parents to submit a list of books they don’t want their kids checking out, and the librarians have to enforce the restriction. If you’re wondering what titles are under scrutiny, look no further than the Arizona Women of Action and their meeting yesterday with Debbie Lesko (who you may recall from the election denial efforts of 2020).

Mickaela deserves a medal for enduring my rants on camera about it all this morning,
