Arizona Storytellers: Let's Get Political 1 (SOLD OUT)

NOTE: The elevators at Valley Bar are brand new and operable! Thanks for your patience. We'll see you Monday evening!

Join azcentral.com, The Arizona Republic and Alliance Bank of Arizona as we expand The Republic's coverage of Election 2016 with two live storytelling nights dedicated to illuminating how your vote matters and why the political process can be so maddening, exhilarating and confusing.

It will be funny; how could it not be?

We'll hear from Republic reporters, politicians and community members impacted by laws, as well as voters like you, about unintended, unexpected consequences. 

Republic political reporters will be on hand to answer ballot questions and to demonstrate how to use AZ Fact Check. 

To be considered as a storyteller, you must be involved in the political process, or have been personally impacted by a law.

Co-emcee: 

Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, Republic reporter covering Governor Doug Ducey 

Featured tellers:

Richard Ruelas, Republic reporter, former city columnist 

Rebekah L. Sanders, Republic Congressional reporter

Amy Love, legislative liaison at the Arizona Supreme Court

Maurie Helle, former Valley-based political TV show producer

jeremie bacpac, former ghost writer for the U.S. military in Afghanistan
