Rep. Steve Smith: What are you interested in?

Each year before session starts, one of the most important things I do is to reach out to both my constituents and to concerned Arizonans outside of my district to find out what is important to them and what they want to see legislatively in the upcoming year.

Before I go any further though, I would to start my saying how blessed I am that the people of District 11 have placed their faith and trust in me and elected me to return to the Legislature. The past two years that I served in the Senate were absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to continue in the House of Representatives where I now will serve.

That being said, the start of the 2013 session is upon us, so if there are any areas (statewide or local) no matter how big or small that you deem need improvement, change, etc., please let me know as I am open to introducing legislation to try to address it.

I cannot tell you how many great ideas I have received in the past and many of those ideas were ultimately debated as bills in the legislature and even signed by the governor, so please know how valuable your input is. Remember, I work for you, my constituents and the people of Arizona, so hearing what matters to you certainly matters to me.

Additionally, if you would like to visit the Capitol and/or spend a few hours shadowing me to experience what a typical day is like in the Legislature, simply let me know and it would my honor to arrange it (we do this for individuals or groups including schools).
