State Supreme Court justice Clint Bolick

2 weeks ago | ktar.com | Mike Broomhead

Most people can’t say that they know a Supreme Court justice. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Justice Clint Bolick for a long time before he reached the Arizona Supreme Court. We met during his time at the Goldwater Institute. I have always respected his ability to debate legal and social issues. I enjoyed learning about his path to being a lawyer and his philosophy on being impartial in judicial decisions. Clint is a brilliant and fascinating man. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Joining me on the latest episode of Amazing Arizonans is none other than Clint Hickman, a former Maricopa County supervisor who hails from a long line of egg farmers here in Arizona. While serving as a supervisor, Hickman scrambled more than a few brains when he voted to certify the county’s election results back in 2020, saying there was no evidence of fraud, misconduct or malfunction. Threats and harassment haunted him for years after that.

It’s hard to describe how much I love music. I am not a musician, which is why I am so envious of great musicians. My guest this week on Amazing Arizonans certainly qualifies.

The singer, songwriter and composer has performed on the opera stage as well as with legendary acts like Toto, the Eagles, Kenny Loggins, Ambrosia, Air Supply and many more.

This episode of Amazing Arizonans was so much fun for me. I met Randall Hedden at a charity function where he was performing, and I was the emcee. He is an artist and is internationally known for his speed painting. His work is very popular, and he’s raised over $5 million dollars for charity with his work. We talked about how he became a speed painter, his love of art and his love of giving to the community. I hope you enjoy the conversation and his work.
