Well, if you haven't heard already, now you heard it. My beat is transitioning from Immigration/Border to the local team covering Southwest Valley Cities. I was on the beat for a year & it was an adventure. I saw a lot of pain but I also saw a lot hope for (yes this may be a bit corny) a better future. In the words of @danielcg3 - this beat truly affects everything and I hope I showed you all that.

I'll be joining the local team at a time when local reporting is needed more than ever. You can catch me writing about the communities, local governments and development of Southwest Valley Cities such as Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, and Tolleson. Ironically, my Maryvale barrio is actually closer to a lot of these cities than Downtown Phoenix itself. I'm excited and ready for a new adventure.

Yes, I'll still be at The Arizona Republic, just with a different team.

Pues, that's it. Gracias y thank you to everyone who's supported me through this journey. 📰

If you got any story ideas, you know where to find me but..I'll drop my email here: David.ulloa@usatodayco.com

Oh, and this marks my second year and something something month anniversary here.

Here's why the nostalgic movement is on the rise. Link in bio. 🔗
