   Rachel Mitchell, Maricopa County attorney

   Rachel Mitchell is a brilliant attorney that is known as an expert in prosecuting sexual assault case. She became a national figure when she was asked to investigate the sexual assault accusations against Brett Kavanaugh while he was being confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. During this conversation she discusses her approach to the investigation and how much pressure she felt from the national spotlight on the confirmation hearing. Her story is very compelling. I hope you enjoy it.

   Ron Sites, Fighter Country Foundation

   Most people in the valley are aware of the existence of Luke Air Force Base. But very few are aware of what happens there or the global impact that it has. Ron Sites is with Fighter Country Foundation. A nonprofit organization that supports the troops and the mission at Luke. Justa few of the things they’ve done are building a much-needed facility for the Honor Guard to train, events to boost morale during the holidays and providing support for the family members when troops are deployed. Ron’s passion is obvious. I hope enjoy learning about them.

   Howie Fischer, Capital Media Services

   If there was an important political story in Arizona it’s been covered by Howie Fischer of Capitol Media Services. Known for his knowledge of Arizona political history and his snarky style. Howie has been a fixture in Arizona journalism for decades. Talking with him was like an Arizona history and civics lesson. We talk about his approach to his job and highlights of his long career. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
