For the second week in a row, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey is in Washington.
This week, he is at the Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute in D.C. highlighting efforts to boost trade with Mexico.
On his official website, Ducey posted before the meeting, “Mexico is Arizona’s number one trading partner times four.”
He plans to show how that relationship provides jobs and income for the state.
For instance, the proposed Casa Grande plant for startup electric car company Lucid Motors. If built, it is projected to bring 200,000 jobs to the plant.
But, those jobs, he said will count on the parts being manufactured at another site proposed for construction in Sonora, Mexico, just south of the Arizona-Mexico border.
Ducey is becoming a familiar face in Washington. A week earlier, he weighed in at President Donald Trump’s summit aimed at partially privatizing funding for national infrastructures.
