Senator Mark Kelly: Too many rural Arizona seniors can’t get the food assistance they qualify for because they can’t reliably get to a pickup site. Living far from town or lacking transportation shouldn’t mean going without. That’s why I’m introducing a bipartisan bill with @SenJonHusted to help fix that.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Alex Pretti was the best of us — a devoted nurse who spent his life caring for our veterans in some of the toughest times of their lives. I know firsthand how meaningful that care is. We should remember him for his dedication to this country and service over self.

Representative Andy Biggs: Those who broke our laws to come here don’t get to pass those who are immigrating the right way. No shortcuts. No amnesty for illegal aliens.

Representative Eli Crane: Thank you to @YavapaiCollege's School of Career and Technical Education for hosting me yesterday. Northern Arizona is fortunate to have such an outstanding school preparing the next generation. The trades remain essential to our communities and our economy.

Representative David Schweikert: A child born today owes 104% of their lifetime income to Washington to cover federal retirement promises. The fix is lower interest costs, real Medicare Advantage reform, and finally legalizing the tech that actually cuts medical bills.

Representative Greg Stanton: Steven Gonzales has been a steady, forward-looking leader for Maricopa Community Colleges. From helping @MCCCD navigate the pandemic to expanding degree options, he’s made a real impact for students across the Valley. Thank you for your work, @MCCCDChancellor.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: It is long past time for the entire world to recognize what is obviously true: the IRGC is a terrorist organization committing atrocities against both the Iranian people and around the globe. Now that France has acknowledged it, I hope the EU will swiftly follow through with an official designation.
