Meet our Clean Air Make More Ambassadors!
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is proud to announce their Clean Air Make More Ambassadors! Clean Air Make More Ambassadors are elected officials representing cities and towns throughout Maricopa County and are devoted to addressing the air quality crisis impacting the health of residents and the growth of Arizona.
The primary focus of the Clean Air Make More Ambassadors is to create awareness among citizens and reduce the number of days Maricopa County exceeds the federal health standards for air pollution. Below are the Clean Air Make More Ambassadors:
Dennis Brown, Town of Fountain Hills Councilmember - “The air quality in our great state affects everyone and everything, and it is up to all of us to reduce air pollution for the protection and well-being of our environment. We need to address this situation, come together as residents of Maricopa County and create change for a healthier future.”

Joanne Osborne, City of Goodyear Councilmember - “We are coming together as one voice as an example to our constituents to create a movement of change. We are facing a crisis in Maricopa County, but it’s not an impossible dilemma. That is why it is up to each and every one of us to take simple actions every day to make a difference.”
Corey Woods, City of Tempe Councilmember - “Our air is polluted, and that is not a problem for one city alone, it’s a problem for our entire county to tackle. We must come together to change our future.”
Bill Gates, Phoenix City Councilmember - "There are simple things our residents can do to reduce air pollution in Maricopa County such as taking transit or carpooling, not sweeping or blowing dirt onto city streets, and conserving electricity."
Stephanie Karlin, City of Avondale Councilmember - "We encourage our residents to recognize the huge impact small lifestyle changes can have on the environment. This is why Maricopa County, in coordination with the Maricopa Association of Governments, created the ‘5% Plan.' The plan is to reduce particulate emissions by five percent each year until we can meet federal health standards for our air quality. With the help of our residents, we can achieve that goal and create a healthier environment for future generations."
