6: Merissa Hamilton and Making Arizona Civic Action 'Easy as Pie'

Merissa Hamilton is the executive director of the Save Arizona Fund and co-founder and CEO of EZAZ.org ,which seeks to make civic action "Easy as Pie. She previously ran for Phoenix mayor in 202 and serves as Member at Large of the Republican Party for Congressional District 1.

EasyAZ.org and Civic Action:

  • The platform tracks government agenda items at various levels, focusing on policies related to energy, transportation, and climate, which Hamilton argues are designed to incrementally erode freedoms. The mission of their project, "Stop the Arizona Deep State," is to ensure that the public remains the chief stakeholders of the government.

Police and Public Safety:

  • Hamilton discusses her experiences and findings that contradict the narrative of wanting to defund the police, citing instances where communities, even in Democrat-heavy areas, expressed a desire for more police presence and safety during her campaign for Phoenix mayor.

Political Challenges and Public Comment:

  • Hamilton expresses concerns about elected officials limiting public comment and transparency, arguing that they view themselves as rulers rather than public servants. She emphasizes the importance of public comment as a tool for accountability and transparency in governance.

Election Integrity and Voter Education:

  • Hamilton raises concerns about the legitimacy of certain election outcomes and emphasizes the need for voter education and transparency. She describes efforts through her organizations to inform voters and help them align their voting choices with their values, despite challenges in reaching a populace that is often disengaged or distracted.
