Mayor Kate Gallego

Heat-related deaths decreased 30% in Maricopa County last year Maricopa County's chief medical officer said the county saw 427 heat deaths in 2025, down from 608 the year before.

Even one death from extreme heat is too many. I’ll keep working to protect our residents as temperatures rise—but it takes coordination from cities, the state, and the federal government for us to tackle this public health emergency.

Phoenix continues to attract investment from around the world. Arizona now ranks #1 in the U.S. for foreign investment, driven in part by companies like TSMC choosing to build here. I’ll keep working to grow our tech economy and bring good jobs to Phoenix.

The seven states that share the Colorado River must find a balanced way to share a smaller river—Arizona should not bear the impact of drought alone. Phoenix will continue to do our part in conservation and driving new strategies to do more with less.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Phoenix Hunger Relief campaign in partnership with St. Mary's Food Bank. Our community stepped up to support neighbors in need and food banks through their busiest time of year.

Inside Phoenix’s water system as Colorado River cuts loom In Phoenix, about 40% of the city’s water supply depends on the Colorado River. Before it ever reaches you, that water must pass through massive treatment plants operating around the clock.

AZ helps power the national economy, from semiconductors to agriculture, to the Grand Canyon. As Colorado River negotiations continue, we need a balanced solution to protect the millions of people, ecosystems, & important industries that rely on the river.
