Sanders said cooperative efforts aimed at infrastructure and support for small businesses are among his top priorities for the state.

Wagner said at the end of this term, he will have spent 34 years as part of the office, and that as the area grows and things change, the job is getting more challenging with every passing year.

The company intends to “change the nature of air conditioning,” using Mojave's novel liquid desiccant technology, which uses half the energy and 20 percent less refrigerant than comparable incumbent HVAC.

“It sounds so cliché, but my family was the deciding factor,’ said Thayer. “I am ready to come home and spend more time with them. I’m not sure what God has next, but I am very excited about this next chapter.”
