Senator Mark Kelly: As demand for data centers grows, Arizona needs to balance economic opportunity with the real impacts on water, power, and local communities.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Why should we be worried if ICE is going to polling places? Because they killed two Americans in two weeks in front of our eyes.

Representative Andy Biggs: President @realDonaldTrump and @EPA Commissioner @epaleezeldin are laser focused on lowering costs at the pumps for Americans, and this announcement is welcome news to hardworking men and women around Arizona. I'm confident that more relief will be on the way.

Representative Eli Crane: Love getting the chance to visit with 4-H students. They always ask great questions, and it’s inspiring to hear about the good work they are doing throughout Arizona.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Thank you, @SpeakerJohnson, for recognizing my Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act. Arizonans and every American deserve to know where their representatives stand on this critical vote. Employees must be paid, and our commitment to those who keep our nation safe must remain unwavering.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh was delighted to host this impressive group of @GCU students representing the Canyon Civic Institute Fellows. These outstanding young men and women are part of a highly selective honors program dedicated to civic engagement, servant leadership, and public service, all rooted in biblical principles. The Congressman loved meeting each of you. Keep leading with purpose!

Representative Greg Stanton: Congress cannot be a rubber stamp for Trump's war with Iran. I voted in @HouseForeign today to subpoena @SecRubio, @SteveWitkoff, & @jaredkushner to appear before Congress in a public hearing. Republicans killed the motion, but we’ll keep fighting for accountability.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: I hosted a Nowruz celebration in my office to share the Persian New Year with colleagues in Congress. Nowruz is about renewal, new beginnings, and hope for the year ahead. As we welcomed the new year, we also held space for the tens of thousands of Iranians killed by their regime in January and the civilians killed in the ongoing war across the region.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: My dad left big shoes to fill in representing the people of Southern Arizona. It's a privilege I don't take lightly, which is why I'm fighting for our community every single day.  Check out this behind the scenes story from my office in DC!
