Arizona Police Association"Jim Waring is a strong proven supporter of law enforcement. During the radical left “defund the police” council meetings, as others vilified the police, it was Waring that spoke up in support of Phoenix Police Officers. His pragmatic, sensible, common-sense approach to governance is exactly what the City of Phoenix desperately needs now more than ever."
