Arizona Storytellers: Let's Get Political 2

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? 

The night's theme is "If only they had listened to me." We'll hear from Republic reporters, politicians, community members impacted by laws and voters like you about the awkward, awful and sometimes funny parts about living in a functional democracy. Republic political reporters will be on hand to answer ballot questions and to demonstrate how to use AZ Fact Check. Voter registration also will take place. 

Co-emcee: 

Yvonne Wingett Sanchez

Featured tellers:

Ed Montini, Republic news columnist

Mary Jo Pitzl, Republic state government reporter

Mare Schumacher, epidemiologist/storyteller

Evan Wyloge, senior reporter at Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting

Robert Leger, retired Republic editorial board member 

Evan E. Roberts, writer and digital marketer
