Jamie Martin of LD13, co-founder of
Arizona Citizen Voice

At the county level, a citizen with a concern or complaint has two paths to be heard : they can speak for two minutes of public comment before the Board of Supervisors, or send an email to the department the concern involves. 

Neither requires a qualified, independent compliance agent to review the complaint to know whether the concern is a violation of law, contract, policy, ethics, or internal controls—so there is no fix. The issue remains unresolved and continues over and over.   

Jamie spent nearly 30 years at American Express in 3rd party contract vendor oversight, reengineering, and corrective action roles.  

She later partnered with Neil Thibodaux of LD25, who comes from nuclear-power industry. From opposite sides of the Valley they found they spoke the same quality language: when something is broken, find the root cause, fix it, and keep it from happening again. 

John Crow is a multi-generation Arizonan, business leader, and dedicated community advocate who has spent his career investing in the future of Maricopa County. As CEO of a family of companies, John has built a reputation for leadership, economic development, and a deep understanding of the people and communities that make Arizona unique. His work has been featured in publications including the Arizona Republic, Arizona Business Journal, Scottsdale Business and Life, and the Glendale Star.

In addition to his professional career, John has devoted years of service to local civic and nonprofit organizations. He currently serves as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner for the City of Glendale, Vice President of the DC Ranch Community Council, and is a Past President and active member of the Glendale Rotary Club. Through these leadership roles, John has worked to strengthen neighborhoods, support local families, and promote responsible growth throughout the Valley.

As a candidate for the Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board, John is committed to expanding workforce training, supporting students and educators, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. He believes community colleges play a vital role in preparing the next generation of skilled workers, business leaders, and public servants who will shape Arizona’s future.
