Updated Mitchell contact info - district edition

Called the Congressman's D.C. office and asked about the location and contact info for a field office.

It's not open yet, so this is still a little tentative, but here it is:

7201 E. Camelback
Suite 335
Scottsdale, AZ 85251

480.946.2411 (phone)
480.946.2446 (fax)

When grand opening info is available, I'll post it.

If there are any changes, I'll update.


Assuming this location is finalized as the home of the district office, I think it's a good location.

An office that's centrally-located within the district sends the right message: Harry is the Congressman for all of CD5, not just one area.

As a point of comparison, former (YES!!) CD5 Rep JD Hayworth had his district office in north Scottsdale (Northsight Blvd); it was close to his home, and certainly was convenient for his partisan support base in the area, but the location also served as a metaphorical "up yours!" to the residents of Tempe, south Scottsdale, and the rest of CD5.

Harry is striking the right note here - this area of the district is perhaps the most easily accessible for his entire district, not just a single favored portion of it.

Simple directions to the area:

Take Loop 101 to Indian School Rd., exit to Indian School westbound. Follow Indian School to Scottsdale Rd. Turn north (right) on Scottsdale (stay in the right lane) and proceed 1 mile to Camelback Rd. Turn right onto Camelback. The parking area should be right there.

You can also take Loop 101 to Chaparral, follow Chaparral to Scottsdale, and turn south on Scottdale to Camelback. There is a lefthand turn signal at Camelback, so access is fairly easy, even with the left turn across Scottsdale Rd. However, traffic on Chaparral Rd. is frequently a problem, so that route should be avoided if possible.

Note: traffic in the entire area can be a little congested - the location of the office is a heavy retail/restaurant/office area. For instance, Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall is diagonally across the intersection from the CD5 field office.

I hope that more info will be available at tomorrow night's LD17 Dems meeting.

Later!
