• What to know about Arizona's 2026 congressional races (azcentral.com) — Cave Creek voters are squarely in the spotlight this year, since Arizona's 1st Congressional District—covering Cave Creek, north Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills—has become a key national battleground. The guide breaks down who's running in all nine House districts, how Trump's midterm standing may shape outcomes, and when debates are scheduled.
• Arizona Morning Briefing 9-30: Gallego Vs. Champion, The Trials of Matthew Ammel, Halloween Comes Early To Fountain Hills, and More (arizonaglobe.com) — One section of this Arizona political briefing revisits how Kyrsten Sinema's ex-boyfriend allegedly left her Cave Creek house in disarray after a drunken outburst, part of his ongoing legal troubles. The newsletter also recaps Phoenix political sparring, a Green Party campaign finance ruling, and a lighthearted Fountain Hills road project celebration.
• Kyrsten Sinema's Ex Says He Trashed Her Paintings Over Frustrations With Gaza War, A.I. (tmz.com) — A recent incident at Kyrsten Sinema's Cave Creek home left 22 of her paintings destroyed after her ex-boyfriend admitted drunkenly tossing them into the pool. He says he acted out of anger over her alleged ties to artificial intelligence and defense-related work, and now faces a felony criminal damage charge tied to roughly $200,000 in estimated losses.
