We’re in the home stretch.

Our 12-day sprint to reach 2,000 Flyover investors ends in just four days, and we’re still 240 away from hitting that goal.

For two years, The Flyover has grown because readers like you did more than just open our emails. You believed in what we’re building: independent, trustworthy journalism that puts facts first and politics second.

When we launched The Flyover, America needed a new kind of news source—one that didn’t talk down to readers or push an agenda. What we didn’t expect was how many of you would step up and stand with us. Thousands have already joined as reader-owners.

Your support protects unbiased, common-sense journalism at a time when the country needs it most. Every new investor strengthens our ability to cut through the noise of misinformation, political spin, and partisan outrage.

We’re so close—but we can’t finish without you.

If The Flyover has earned your trust, if it’s become part of your morning routine or your sense of connection to something real, this is your moment to step in and help us cross the finish line.

Let’s show that readers—not corporations—can build something lasting, honest, and truly American.

Lawmakers Probe Contractor Funding

Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro, R-Goodyear, formed an advisory team to investigate allegations linking Gov. Katie Hobbs to a funding increase for a state contractor.

Group home operator Sunshine Residential Homes received a 30% rate increase worth millions of dollars after donating more than $400,000 to Hobbs and the state Democratic Party, he said.

Hobbs called Montenegro’s move politically motivated and noted that two other investigations are already underway.

Montenegro said the allegations of a pay-to-play scheme “raise serious questions the House cannot ignore.”

Tempe Bids Goodbye to Ironman

More than 1,900 athletes competed in the final Ironman Arizona at Tempe Town Lake on Sunday, marking the end of Tempe’s two decades of hosting the event.

Cooler temperatures and minimal wind created nearly perfect weather for the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile marathon.

More than 1,000 spectators showed up to cheer on participants, and more than 200 children took part in the IRONKIDS events on Saturday.

Race organizers and Tempe officials cited the impact of urban growth on the course and logistical challenges as the main reasons to drop the event from the Ironman series.

9 Hospitals Awarded Top Safety Rating

Nine Arizona hospitals received “A” ratings from The Leapfrog Group for patient safety, ranking them among the nation’s safest.

Leapfrog evaluates nearly 3,000 hospitals twice a year on staffing, medication safety, hand hygiene, intensive care unit treatment, and overall safety culture.

Hospitals given A grades are Banner Ocotillo in Chandler, Chandler Regional, Flagstaff Medical Center, HonorHealth’s Scottsdale and Phoenix locations, Kingman Regional, Mercy Gilbert, Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, and Verde Valley in Cottonwood.

Arizona’s Mayo Clinic is one of only 11 hospitals nationwide to maintain an “A” grade since 2012.
