With less than two months until Election Day, yard signs and bumper stickers for both Joe Biden/Kamala Harris and for Donald Trump/Mike Pence are more and more noticeable. For some homeowners, however, expressing a political view or supporting a certain candidate can be dicey.

For those supporting Donald Trump for president it can be more than dicey; it can be nearly impossible. Such is the case for one homeowner in Arizona.

Joe Nichols, who has lived in the Gladden Farms community in Marana since the summer of 2018, has been advised that flying a Trump flag is forbidden. The Home Owners Association (HOA) that oversees and enforces rules for the Meritage Homes community, sent Nichols a letter stating as much. I had an opportunity to reach out to the homeowner to get his side of the story.

ADI: Despite the recent dust-up with the HOA, what has been your perception of the neighborhood and the residents who live in the community.

Joe Nichols: We moved here from Dove Mountain to downsize. We really like the community. All the neighbors are friendly, never had any issue. I did have a pair of lanterns that lined my drive stolen a few months back. But it’s nice and quiet, nice walking paths.
