PHOENIX, June 12, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Phoenix Business Journal has featured an opinion piece by Conor O’Callaghan, candidate for Congress in AZ-01. O’Callaghan is a managing director at BTIG and a board member of the AZ Fund Manager Association. Leveraging his nearly two decades of economic experience, O’Callaghan’s opinion piece focuses on his work in the finance industry and his ideas for making the Phoenix market – and by extension AZ-01 – a national finance hub, which will be a boon for Arizona’s economy.

O’Callaghan’s piece reflects on how he linked up with finance professionals to help grow the Arizona Fund Manager Association “AFMA” and cites how it has received bipartisan support from Senator Mark Kelly, former Vice President Dan Quayle, and former Gov. Doug Ducey.

O’Callaghan goes on to argue that the finance industry needs continued political support from both sides of the aisle as well as buy-in from the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Commerce Authority to help the market grow into a “Wall Street of the West.”

Phoenix resident Bob Lord, who serves as Associate Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and Senior Advisor for Tax Policy for Patriotic Millionaires, praised the op-ed, “O’Callaghan is talking about things in this race that nobody else is. This is a policy that will make a difference in people’s lives. This is why he needs to win this race.”
