    🎙️ Take Back Phoenix Podcast – Episode 1: Introducing Zach Lauer

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Take Back Phoenix podcast — where everyday residents share their vision for reclaiming our city and restoring safety, sanity, and common-sense leadership. In our first episode, Matt Evans sits down with Zach Lauer — husband, new father, entrepreneur, MAHA activist, and candidate for Phoenix City Council (District 4) — to talk about why he’s stepping up for Phoenix.

    Zach opens up about his journey from corporate finance and health insurance to local activism, how the COVID era shaped his commitment to freedom and truth, and what Take Back Phoenix really means to him. We dive into the big issues facing our city — from public safety and homelessness to fiscal responsibility and transparent government — and discuss Zach’s vision for a Phoenix where families thrive, neighborhoods are safe, and city hall works for all residents, not special interests.

    Tune in for honest conversation, real solutions, and the first step in building a movement grounded in faith, family, and freedom.
