Medical care – A consequence of Kingman’s population growth

Dear Editor, Kingman has a 2024 population of 37,016. Kingman is currently growing at a rate of 2.92% annually and its population has increased by 12.53% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 32,895 in 2020. Most Kingman residents already know the difficulties identifying “available” medical professionals for an appointment, medical evaluation and treatment. Given our recorded and prospective population growth, those tasks will increase proportionally – leaving many residents without needed medical care. Many, if not most, know I am currently a candidate for Kingman City Council. In prior writings and messages, I’ve noted my commitment…

Do We Get Him?

Millions watched the Super Bowl recently. It was a good game that was hard fought and ended in overtime in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs. I am certain, too, it did not hurt ratings that one of the most popular singers in America, Taylor Swift, attended and cheered for her Chief’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. In addition to the game on the field, another sort of game was being played, as well. To be sure, many people like to watch Super Bowl advertising as often the best ideas and humor are offered for our collective enjoyment. We want to be…
