Host: Randy Pullen filling in for Barbara who is Iowa reporting on the Rick Perry Campaign

Guest: Congressman David Schweikert

David Schweikert has been a lifelong advocate for Arizona.  He was raised in Scottsdale and attended Arizona State University where he earned a BA degree in finance and real estate as well as his MBA.

David is serving his first term in the United States House of Representatives representing Arizona’s 5th district. He serves on the Financial Services Committee.
Prior to being elected to the 112th Congress, David served as Treasurer of Maricopa County in 2004.  As Treasurer of one of the largest counties in the United States, David was responsible for protecting billions of taxpayer dollars and earning over $300 million in investment income while never showing a deficit despite a tough economic environment.
While serving as Treasurer, David created and executed programs to assist Arizona homeowners.  He worked to make the tax system easier to use and understand as well as assisting low income, elderly residents.  He also dramatically reduced mortgage delinquencies by personally contacting hundreds of homeowners who were unaware of deed issues affecting them. 
David first became a public servant in 1991, when he was elected to serve in the Arizona State House representing his hometown, Scottsdale and Fountain Hills.
