The following day, Gress attended an event supporting animal welfare. On October 19, he posted about his participation at a local fundraiser: “What an un-fur-gettable day at the “Compassion with Fashion” event for the Arizona Humane Society (@azhumane)! Always proud to stand up for our four-legged friends and the paws that make every Arizonan’s heart full. https://t.co/3Di0jrXH8L”.
On October 20, Gress congratulated Superintendent Boggs and Ben Blink regarding a new appointment in education leadership. He wrote: “What a great pick, Supt. Boggs (@mcschoolsup)!
