Your response: Anthem is part of an Arizona legislative district that spans two counties, Maricopa and Yavapai. I believe that the Anthem community has far more in common with other areas in Maricopa County such as Noterra, Cave Creek and Carefree. I would like to see Anthem be a part of a legislative district that is wholly within Maricopa County.
