Senator Mark Kelly: All the things I keep in my office remind me of my family: Irish and Polish immigrants who came to this country and began a legacy of public service that extends generations. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
Senator Ruben Gallego: This is a real problem. People already stretched thin can’t afford higher gas prices. Arizonans need real relief and I'm pushing this administration to make sure it happens.
Representative Andy Biggs: HUGE news I was pleased to cosponsor this bill from @RepEliCrane, & I urge my Senate colleagues to vote YES to send this legislation to President @realDonaldTrump's desk.

Representative Paul Gosar: Next time your flight’s delayed or canceled, or if you’re stuck in an endless TSA line, thank a congressional Democrat.
Representative Eli Crane: Proud to be leading this effort in the House. Earlier this week, the North Rim Restoration Act of 2025 passed unanimously. Not a single “no” vote. Let’s get it signed into law!
Representative Juan Ciscomani: Democrats are playing political games with our national security. By refusing to fund DHS, TSA officers are doing their jobs without pay to keep us safe. We should prioritize those who protect us—not play politics.
Representative David Schweikert: We are now borrowing $93,884 every second this fiscal year. Not Republican or Democrat. Just math.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh was proud to host representatives from the Surprise City Council at his office today! They had a great discussion on public safety, backing law enforcement, boosting our local economy, and delivering for hardworking families in the Northwest Valley.
Representative Greg Stanton: “It would hurt consumers, but that's really the last of our concerns right now.” I’ve never heard a clearer summary of Trump’s economic policies than that.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: Pete Hegseth is a joke. He treats the very serious conflict in the Middle East like a video game and cares only about being a hotshot. He needs to be fired or impeached immediately.
Representative Adelita Grijalva: Just another Tuesday for the Trump Admin... Gas prices skyrocketing Billions poured into a regime change war All while millions of Americans go without healthcare and food assistance. ...the American people deserve better.
