Senator Mark Kelly: Big companies are signaling they’ll use AI to shrink their workforce—and too many Americans are already feeling the impact. My AI for America roadmap has solutions to get big corporations to pay their for share and put workers first.
Senator Ruben Gallego: When I joined Starbucks workers on the picket line, they told me about working multiple jobs and still not being able to afford rent where they work. Starbucks could close that pay gap. Instead, they’re spending money fighting workers who want a union.
Representative Andy Biggs: Compromising public safety for political gain is inexcusable and dangerous for the survival of our Republic. Republicans have done our part to fund the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It's past time for Democrats to do what's right. These brave men and women shouldn't have to forgo one paycheck.
Representative Paul Gosar: If the TSA checkpoint at the airport feels longer than a Democrat's filibuster, you can thank Democrats for shutting down the government.
Representative Eli Crane: Yet Senate Democrats refuse to reopen the Department of Homeland Security… All to appease their radical base.
Representative Juan Ciscomani: Proud to welcome many of Arizona’s credit unions to Washington last week. My parents’ first checking account was at a credit union. My first car loan was at a credit union. Credit unions play a vital role serving families and strengthening our communities.
Representative David Schweikert: If you’re in your late 50s, Washington has already scheduled a 24% cut to your Social Security and an 11% cut to Medicare hospitals in about six and a half years. First-year price tag to stop it is roughly $638,000,000,000.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: Jovan Petkovich, a dedicated TSA officer at Phoenix Sky Harbor, is like so many Americans: stuck working without pay and fed up with the Democrat shutdown.
Representative Greg Stanton: Arizona has endured years of baseless attacks on our election system. Every legal challenge confirmed the outcome of the 2020 election — the facts are not in dispute. Sadly, Trump is continuing to waste taxpayer dollars advancing The Big Lie.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: Trump's arch is a waste of taxpayer dollars, a monument to his ego, and a platform for his authoritarian ambitions. Its construction without Congressional approval is a blatant violation of federal law, and I've joined my colleagues in challenging it.
Representative Adelita Grijalva: Trump is planting seeds of doubt in our elections to justify future intervention in the midterms. He sees the writing on the wall (a blue wave), and he’s scared. But Arizonans won’t buy it.
