Earl Blumenauer

Union leaders, representatives of the solar energy industry and other community activists joined Democratic congressional candidate Bob Lord and U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) for a round table discussion about the future of infrastructure and energy in Arizona.

"We have to look at the bigger picture," said Lord. "We still have the most and best infrastructure in the world, but it's falling apart." 

Lord, who is challenging U.S. Rep. John Shadegg (R-Phoenix) for his 3rd district seat, spent most of the discussion listening, as those in attendance ticked off a long list of concerns they have regarding the health and sustainability of Arizona's transportation, water and electrical systems.

PHOENIX -- U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is in Phoenix Monday to fundraise on behalf of Bob Lord, the Democratic candidate for the 3rd Congressional District seat.

The visit was confirmed at a round table discussion Lord held with U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who will also be in attendence. Details are few, but the Speaker will be appearing at the event, which will be held Monday evening to benefit Lord in his effort to unseat U.S. Rep. John Shadegg (R-Phoenix).
