Arizona Cactus Wren Republican Women is affiliated with Arizona Federation of Republican Women and the National Federation of Republican Women. The club was first chartered in 1967 and was one of the first clubs to meet in the evening for the participation of professional women.

 

As a member of Cactus Wren Republican Women, our primary function is to inform the electorate through political education and increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through political participation. We support the objectives and polices of the Republican State Committee and work for the election of women and of the Republican nominees.

 

We encourage you to get involved and help make a difference! For more information about the club or to make a reservation to attend a general meeting, please contact us >>>

Charles "Hos" Hoskins

Like many Arizonans, Hoskins first came to the state as a young fighter pilot at Luke Air Force Base in 1957. After flying 274 combat missions in Vietnam and being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, and thirteen Air Medals, "Hos" retired from the Air Force and he and his family settled permanently in Arizona in 1975.

He began his new career working for the Arizona Board of Tax Appeals - first as an appraiser and then as the Clerk of the Board. Ten years later he joined the Department of Revenue as Assistant Director of the Property Valuation and Equalization Division. Later he became the Director of the entire department.

In 1989 "Hos" left government service and became a property tax consultant with a national firm serving several hundred clients throughout the Southwest.

"Hos" retired in 1995 and was soon appointed to serve on the State Board of Equalization by then County Supervisor, (and now Governor) Jan Brewer. The BOE is an agency charged with hearing and deciding appeals of property valuations and classifications. As a member of that board he heard more than five-thousand appeals.

 

The County Treasurer is an elected position with a four-year term. Hoskins was reelected in November 2008 receiving over nine hundred thousand votes, the most ever by any county candidate. Since taking office in 2007 Mr. Hoskins has saved the taxpayers over $20 million by implementing new programs and making existing ones more efficient.

He is an experienced instructor and technical writer. He is a member of the faculty at the Arizona School of Real Estate and Business, the largest real estate licensing school in Arizona, and has authored numerous articles on the Arizona property tax system.

"Hos" has been married to Eleanor for 53 years. They have a son, daughter, and two grandchildren.

Quotes

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill
