Border Security, Opioid Crisis Addressed In Phoenix Hearing

High-level Arizona politicos and security officials huddled in downtown Phoenix on Wednesday morning for a hearing on what are certain to be key issues in the upcoming midterm election: the opioid crisis and border security.

Gov. Doug Ducey was there, and so were Reps. Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally — both of which are running to replace Jeff Flake in the Senate.

KJZZ reporter Matthew Casey was also there and joined The Show to talk about it.
