Building a Movement: Bobby Nichols on Affordability and the Path Forward

from Around the Districts Podcast · host aroundthedistricts

Survival is not a policy. In the second part of our conversation, Bobby Nichols breaks down the brutal economics of affordability in Tempe. Bobby serves as an Assistant Attorney General. He brings a unique legal lens to the fight for working-class stability. This race is not about personality. This race is a tactical intervention to shift the Overton window. We explore the "Housing First" model as a necessary barrier against the deaths of despair that plague our community. Bobby shares the personal cost of systemic neglect following the loss of his sister, Madison. Her legacy drives his mission to ensure every neighbor can thrive, not just survive. From union building to the fight against ICE surveillance, the movement remains. Time is of the essence.
