First Lady Jill Biden came to Phoenix and Tucson on March 7 and 8, 2022 to salute career preparation programs, alliances between colleges and industries, the technology innovations of the future that are taking root in both Maricopa and Pima County’s, and International Woman’s Day.
According to reporting by AZ Central’s Alison Steinbach, the First Lady, while attending the Ocotillo branch of Intel, commented that the programs the Biden/Harris Administration took the lead on: The American Rescue Plan and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, have helped create a job and technological boom in these parts of Arizona.
Dr. Biden said:
“These investments are changing lives and every person who benefits from this program and others like it who is better off today than they were a year ago passes that benefit along…What does it look like for families like yours? It means investing in industries of the future, like we see here today, the kind of jobs that make our supply chain stronger, lowering prices and keeping our country safe.”
On March 8, the First Lady and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra will visit the San Xavier Health Center in Tucson and tour their cancer treatment facilities.
Dr. Biden was greeted in both Phoenix and Tucson by those cities leaders, Mayors Kate Gallego and Regina Romero.
