  • Let me tell you what I see when I look at Mesa right now. A city budget that doubled to nearly $3 billion in 10 years while your paycheck did not. A $31 million utility hike sold to us for fire and police, and $16 million of it spent on a locker room and a batting cage. Housing being built for someone else to rent to you instead of for families to own. These are not small issues. They decide what kind of city we hand to the next generation. Ballots go out October 7. I will text you when you

  • Homelessness in Maricopa County has hit a breaking point, and it is spilling into Mesa. We see it at our intersections, our parks, our neighborhoods. Here is what I believe. Government alone cannot fix this. We have nonprofits in this community already doing the work, already trusted by the people who need help most. Fund what is already working instead of building more bureaucracy around it. Read the full plan. Paid for and authorized by Aleks for Mesa.

  • Only 3 out of 10 people vote in local elections. Think about that. The other 7 let a small group of people decide who controls their water rates, their city budget, their public safety, their streets, and their neighborhoods. And yet, those same people will drive two hours to see a presidential candidate. The president can't fix your pothole. The president doesn't set your utility rates. The president doesn't decide how many officers patrol your street. Your city council does. Your local rep

  • There are cameras across Mesa reading your license plate. Every drive, every day. That data has been shared with federal agencies, and Mesa residents were never asked. That is not public safety. That is surveillance without accountability. I will fight to keep Mesa residents' data in local hands, where the people it affects can actually decide what happens to it. Ballots go out October 7. I will text you when yours arrives. Paid for and authorized by Aleks for Mesa.

  • Here's what's actually happening in Mesa right now. Your utility bills keep going up, and the city is letting it happen. Homelessness is spilling out of Maricopa County and into our parks, our streets, and our neighborhoods with no real plan in place. Flock cameras are being installed across the city, tracking your license plate and your movements, without a public vote. The city budget keeps growing while residents see less and less return on their tax dollars. And there is government-back

  • Mesa had two options on delivery drones. A stricter rule, and a looser one. The council voted for the looser one. Most people in District 5 never heard it was on the agenda, never saw a notice, and never got asked. Here is what the looser option means in practice. More flights. Lower altitude limits. Fewer restrictions on where and when they operate. Over Las Sendas. Over Red Mountain Ranch. Over Northeast Mesa neighborhoods where people moved specifically for the quiet. We are already figh

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
