Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) is introducing legislation to improve charter schools' facilities, as many of these organizations lack proper funding.

As Rep. Ciscomani explained in a press release... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: Arizonans are already stretched thin, and this administration's decisions are pushing health care costs up. I heard directly today from families and small businesses paying the price. I’m taking what I heard back to Washington and I’m going to keep pushing to lower costs and make sure Arizonans have access to affordable health care.

Senator Ruben Gallego: This community is home. Gathering today to celebrate one year into the Senate, I heard the same thing over and over: it has been a hard year for our country and our community. There’s no doubt about it. But everywhere I go, I still see good people who love their families, love this country, and want to do the right thing. That goodness is worth fighting for.

Representative Andy Biggs: ICYMI: My CSAFE Act UNANIMOUSLY passed the House last week. We must protect children from dangerous online sextortion schemes. I urge my Senate colleagues to bring my CSAFE Act across the finish line and to @POTUS’s desk NOW Children’s lives depend on it.

Representative Eli Crane: Recently, I joined @RyanHeinsius of @AZPubRadio to discuss the North Rim Restoration Act of 2025. With this week’s scheduled @NatResources markup, the legislation is on track to gain significant momentum. Honored to fight for #AZ02.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Proud to introduce the Equitable Access to School Facilities Act to support Arizona’s charter schools. Our charter students deserve not only a top-tier education, but safe, well-equipped facilities to learn and thrive. This bill expands access to facility funding so more resources go where they belong—into classrooms and toward student success. Arizona leads the nation in school choice, and I’m committed to helping our state continue to excel in education.

Representative David Schweikert: FEMA denied Arizona’s disaster request after flooding in Gila and Mohave counties. Damage estimates are now $100M+ (up from $33.6M). I signed onto @RepEliCrane’s appeal and FEMA needs to move fast. Send senior officials to Gila and Mohave to see the damage up close.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: What's happening in Virginia should be a lesson to all Congressional Republicans. If Democrats regain power, they will unleash the most radical and transformative legislative agenda in our nation's history. We won’t even recognize our country, and we may never get it back. Republicans MUST grow a spine, be bold, and deliver the America First agenda the American people voted for.

Representative Greg Stanton: Trump is unleashing the Department of Justice on @GovTimWalz and @MayorFrey for opposing ICE overreach in their communities. It is a blatant attempt to intimidate elected officials for doing their jobs.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Tonight at the U.S. Capitol, we held a candlelight vigil for the people of Iran risking everything to demand freedom and an end to the Islamic Republic. More than 12,000 have been killed by the regime—a massacre. We stand with the Iranian people.
