Georgia, Trump's War on Fentanyl

Lt. Governor Burt Jones (R-GA), the President of the Georgia State Senate, announced a war on fentanyl in lockstep with President Donald Trump's (R) administration. The Georgia Lt. Gov has introduced the Fentanyl Eradication and Removal Act for the 2025 legislative session. State Senator Russ Goodman (R-GA) sponsored the legislation establishing "stiffer criminal penalties for fentanyl offenses."

Georgia's Lt. Gov. shared that this initiative will build upon the previous year's efforts in the state upper chamber and address fentanyl pushers "to the fullest extent of the law" in the Peach State.

Representative Andy Biggs: Radical Leftists stopped getting their way and immediately turned to inciting violence. I thought they were the party of tolerance and protecting democracy. When they tell you who they are, believe them.

Representative Paul Gosar: Not that we needed one, yet another glaring example justifying why @realDonaldTrump is freezing $$ for foreign "assistance." The longer Biden is gone, the more we learn just how corrupt he was.

Representative Eli Crane: Great sitting down with some of our amazing Arizona Sheriffs to discuss ongoing efforts to secure the border. The momentum is real - but much more work to be done. Very grateful for what they do in their respective counties.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Congratulations to our new Attorney General Pam Bondi!

Representative Abe Hamadeh: .@RealTomHoman is a VERY serious man, it would be a fatal mistake for the cartels to call his bluff. We will not let them harm Americans. "Tom Homan Warns Cartels They Could Be Wiped ‘Off The Face Of The Earth If They Harm’ Americans Protecting Border"

Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee: Great to be back at the @azfamily studio to share about the @AZ_529 Education Savings Plan and how Arizona K-6th grade students can win $529 by entering the AZ529 Future Career Art Contest!

State Representative Quang Nguyen: My bill, HB2115, received 59 votes with 1 absent: Establishes knowingly observing a nude minor for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct for a person's sexual gratification as a form of criminal sexual exploitation of a minor. This bill will advance to the Senate in a few weeks.

State Representative Julie Willoughby: Thank you to @azfec for inviting East Valley Republicans to speak last night to some of your volunteers who helped us win in November.

Maricopa County Supervisor Debbie Lesko: I loved the opportunity to join with other state, federal, and local officials to break ground on the Veterans Community Project in Glendale. The West Valley is grateful for these American heroes!

Karrin Taylor Robson: President @realDonaldTrump moved to 4-0 yesterday! He's continuing to deliver win after win
