Congressman Gosar Town Hall, June 9, 2011

State Representative Frank Pratt introduces Congressman Gosar at Congressman Gosar's Town Hall. Congressman Paul Gosar met with constituents in a Town Hall in Florence on Thursday, June 9 at the Florence High School Auditorium. The event was originally scheduled to be held at the General Store but unfortunately that historic landmark burned to the ground 10 days earlier.
These are some pictures taken at the event. The arched windows and streaming setting sun made inside pictures difficult. For more information on Congressman Paul Gosar, please visit his websites at www.gosarforcongress.com and http://gosar.house.gov/

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 6, 2011
CONTACT: Paul Boyer

Northern Arizona Representatives Brenda Barton, Chester Crandall, Senator Sylvia Allen and the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Frank Pratt have reached out to the Arizona State Parks and State Land Department to facilitate the potential relocation of livestock in the event of evacuation requirements due to the Wallow Fire.

“We’re trying to do our part to help ranchers with their livestock,” Representative Brenda Barton said. “This move will help them to get a hold of water for their animals while these brave firefighters work to bring an end to the fire.”

State Parks and the State Land Department responded immediately to make the approximately 1,000 acres of Lyman Lake available to Northern Arizona ranchers for this relocation.

“I’m praying for the safety of our firefighters and citizens who are in the path of this catastrophic fire,” Senator Allen said. “Opening Lyman Lake is one thing that the state can do to help with livestock evacuation.”

Pictures from Swearing In Day. January 10, 2011



Frank before ceremony

It was a somber day as much of the event memorialized the individuals killed or hurt in Tucson on Saturday, January 8.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved.  We hope that Congresswoman Giffords has a speedy and complete recovery.

Frank was honored to be able to open the Arizona House of Representatives Swearing In Ceremony. Frank is headed back to work tomorrow, January 11, for the first session of the 50th Arizona Legislature.
