Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, AZREIA Executive Director Michael Del Prete sits down with Teri Ann Hourihan, a 2026 Arizona governor candidate running under the No Labels/AZ Independent Party, to discuss her background, business experience, and reasons for entering the governor's race. Teri, an Arizona native and licensed professional counselor, shares her experience operating a behavioral health business and discusses her concerns about Medicaid administration, provider payment delays, and government accountability. Her candidacy and policy positions are documented by Arizona's Citizens Clean Elections Commission and her campaign. The conversation covers several issues affecting Arizona's real estate and business environment, including housing affordability, permitting, water security, energy costs, data centers, and economic growth. Teri describes her proposals to streamline permitting and encourage the reuse of vacant or underutilized properties, while advocating for additional water conservation and infrastructure strategies. She also discusses her position that new data center development should face greater scrutiny regarding water, energy, infrastructure, and taxpayer costs. Teri and Michael also discuss civic engagement, border security and legal immigration, utility competition, childcare, campaign funding, and her proposed approach to public service. The episode provides viewers with an opportunity to hear Teri explain her background and policy positions directly, including her views on healthcare oversight, housing, water, and Arizona's continued growth. 01:07 – Teri's Background and Calling 02:31 – Why Independent Candidate 03:22 – Winning the Primary on a Budget 05:42 – Healthcare Providers Under Fire 07:58 – Fraud Faucet and Fixing AHCCCS 12:54 – Her Business Suspension Story 17:02 – Political Retaliation and Special Interests 19:15 – Housing Affordability and Permits 21:19 – Vacant Land and Incentives 21:47 – Arizona Water Crisis Reality 23:44 – Nevada Conservation Blueprint 25:28 – No PAC Money Team 26:46 – Lieutenant Governor Role 27:56 – Border and Affordability Priorities 30:13 – Utility Competition & Housing Infill 31:03 – Data Center Moratorium Plan 34:05 – Independent Voters Power 36:28 – Vote Psychology and Turnout 37:20 – Four-Year Goals and Service 39:50 – How to Follow and Support 40:27 – Healthcare Disability Funding Push -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com "AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.
