Senator Mark Kelly: Everything costs too much—and Washington is focused on the wrong things. While the stock market gets attention, families are getting squeezed. That’s why @RepDeluzio and I are introducing a bill to refocus your government on what matters most: lowering your costs.

Representative Andy Biggs: Great news for Honeywell Aerospace, the State of Arizona, and the U.S. national defense! The Grand Canyon State continues to expand its production of America's defense at a critical time in our nation's and world's history.

Representative Eli Crane: Democrats actively try to ruin our country. Republicans sit back and carefully manage the slow decline of our country. Something has to change.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Proud to be leading the bipartisan effort to make Chiricahua Arizona’s next National Park! Chiricahua is a true treasure, drawing thousands of visitors to Cochise County, boosting our economy, and it deserves recognition as a National Park. Next stop: the Senate!

Representative David Schweikert: My little Matthew is 3. This country needs 104% of his lifetime earnings just to cover promises Washington already made. In less than 6.5 years, the Social Security trust fund is empty. In less than 6.5 years, the Medicare trust fund is empty. We will double poverty of seniors. That is the morality of this place now.

Representative Greg Stanton: The federal law governing Tribal housing hasn't been updated since 2008, which is outrageous and unacceptable. I’ve joined a bipartisan effort to modernize the law — cutting red tape, expanding financing, and giving Tribal Nations the tools to build the housing they need.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: The most incompetent administration in American history - led by a maniacal authoritarian - is putting the entire world in danger. This war needs to end NOW.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: I am proud to stand in solidarity with the millions of people across the country joining No Kings protests! When We the People come together, we have the power to change and resist the very systems that are failing working people. No vamos para atrás. We will not go back.
