The West Valley with Surprise, AZ Councilmember-Elect Johnny Melton

On this episode of "Jen & Friends", an exclusive interview with Surprise, Arizona's Councilmember-Elect Johnny Melton.

The long-time conservative advocate agreed to talk with West Valley Families about the newly formed Conservative Agenda for Arizona group - a group generating a lot of criticism and speculation regarding its motive.

While Melton's comments on my early release of this interview on X gained a great deal of backlash, I offer you the opportunity to hear our full discussion.

From Arizona schools to building a vibrant West Valley, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I have.

Thank you for listening. And from West Valley Families to YOU family... Happy Thanksgiving.
