March President's Message

Welcome to March 2025! It has been a whirlwind of activity and positive results in just 6 weeks! Just to

name a few:

Lauren Hawkins, PVRW President

· Executive Orders continue to be signed, reflecting the America First Agenda.

· A secure border is achieved, with border encounters reduced by over 95%.

· Cabinet appointees are confirmed and hit the ground running in each Federal department they

represent.

· Significant investments in U.S. technology are being made by major donors and

companies.

· The first Trump Cabinet meeting is held, demonstrating the overall team strength and

commitment.

· World leaders are flocking to the White House to meet with President Trump and

discuss common goals.

· Hostages held by Hamas are released a er pressure is exerted by President Trump to

honor the agreement with Israel.

Transparency is alive and well in the Trump Administration. President Trump is not only

keeping promises made during the campaign but is fully exposing the disastrous policies of

the Biden Administration. His Cabinet choices are fully engaged in all aspects of

government, showing us the “Fraud, Waste, and Abuse” that has been the hallmarks of our

prior government leadership. How can this have happened? And then there is the “DOGE”

team, working relentlessly to expose the unbelievable and outrageous spending of the

American people’s hard-earned money. Elon Musk is taking daily, if not hourly, poisoned

arrows of criticism, that he wasn’t elected and should not be allowed to rightly expose this

abuse. His team is “BullDOGEing” through these records, exposing all kinds of juicy details. It

will be glorious to see spotlights illuminate those who have been involved and their abuse

of power.

And we are just ge ng started. Every day brings news of successful accomplishments and

the relentless energy of the Trump Administration. His powerful and capable team is putting

America first and is united in support of the American people. At the me of this writing,

the Oval Office meeting between Ukraine President Zelensky and President Trump just concluded on a disappointing note, with worldwide commentary flowing in from all

directions. President Trump, strongly believing in “Peace through Strength,

” firmly held his ground for the American people, and so did his en re team. As President Trump stated, his

goal is to establish peace, and he let the door open to President Zelensky to return when

he is ready to move in that direction. Our government has been recklessly spending the

American people’s money on this war, with no payback or commitment to end it. President

Trump continues to act on our behalf – America First.

Our 2026 Arizona state and local elections continue to be a focal point moving forward. Our

March 6th luncheon will highlight our role in Arizona Legislation and how we as voters have

a voice in this process. Darla Gonzalez will be educating us on the Request to Speak (RTS)

system, a tool we have at our disposal to voice our opinions on both Arizona House and

Senate bills that are passing through Committees and ultimately to the Legislature. We can

all play a role in this process, and it will be worth our me to realize the impact we have as

voters. We are also privileged to have Kris n Baumgartner, Chair of Yavapai County GOP , to

bring us up to date on strategies, plans and ac vi es of the county party, share how we can

further our common cause in the 2026 Arizona elec on process to win back our State, and

describe how we as individuals can have an important grassroots role of Precinct

Committeemen.

Our 2025 Scholarship Process and Applica on are now up on the PVRW Website. Our
