On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” Sasha Hupka, Arizona Reporter for Votebeat, joined “Arizona Horizon, to discuss Arizona’s midterm elections.

We also heard from Reverend Gerald P. Richard II, Board President of the Arizona Faith Network, about how the Arizona Faith Network is working to create safe polling practices. The organization has over 120 trained volunteers as Poll Chaplains and Peacekeepers to curate welcoming polling environments.

Finally, Colonel Wanda Wright, Director of the Office of Veteran and Military Academic Engagement at ASU, explained ways ASU helps Veterans through a music program. ASU’s Music for Vets is a 12-week music therapy program, and Songwriting for Vets helps Veterans create original songs.
