Protecting Arizona Heritage: Rodeo Grounds, Ranchers, and Legislative Wins

Jul 1, 2026 | Ride With Us

In this episode of the Ride With Us podcast, Greg Mengarelli sits down with Arizona Representatives Quang Nguyen and Selina Bliss for a legislative update focused on Prescott, Yavapai County, and rural Arizona. They discuss the close of the legislative session, the state budget, tax cuts, and key bills that impact Arizona families, seniors, ranchers, and property owners.

The conversation also highlights the Andy Groseta Act, a bill focused on transparency in meat labeling. This law helps consumers know if they are buying traditional meat or cell-cultured, lab-grown products. As a result, the bill supports Arizona ranching heritage and gives families more information about the food they bring home.

Finally, Nguyen and Bliss discuss future legislative priorities, including cattle theft, deed and title fraud, and continued work for rural communities. They also reflect on the importance of public service, local history, and keeping Arizona residents informed. Tune in for a timely update on Arizona legislation, Prescott Rodeo progress, and the issues shaping Yavapai County.
