“Tucson absolutely needs to address public safety, homelessness, housing affordability, and other critical community investments.

As we reflect on the results of a challenging and contentious election season, we at the Tucson Metro Chamber remain committed to being an effective convener of our diverse membership and partners. Throughout this tense year, our goal has been clear: to advance our 'business-sense' vision for the Tucson Metro region—where businesses thrive, and our community prospers.
