Senator Mark Kelly: Great crowd and discussion at the Tucson Rotary Club today. The cost of living is top of mind for a lot of Arizonans right now and the war with Iran has only made it worse. I’m working hard to bring down costs and put money back in families’ pockets.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Housing is the foundation for everything: jobs, schools, family stability. You can’t build a strong economy if people can’t afford to live in it. Today I was proud to stand with Chicanos Por La Causa to open Vista Village Community Empowerment Center, providing non-profit services to the community and those living in the 80 affordable apartment units at Vista Village.

Representative Andy Biggs: Important information about the ongoing Colorado River negotiations and what is at stake for Arizona in the years ahead. I'm working with our federal, state, Tribal, local, and private stakeholders to best position Arizona in these discussions as we approach critical deadlines.

Representative David Schweikert: We live next door to California. Nobody is fleeing success.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: America First means no American left behind. We never quit. We never rest. Until every single American is safely home. Incredible work by the Trump Administration facilitating the safe return of Shelly Kittleson!

Representative Greg Stanton: Good. Citizens United opened the floodgates for dark money in politics. When I was Mayor, we put a measure on the ballot to force transparency in spending on local elections. Now I'm working in Congress to spread that accountability and transparency nationwide.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Lebanon must be included in this fragile ceasefire. The horrific bombings and murder of hundreds of civilians in Beirut and elsewhere by Netanyahu need to end immediately. Trump and Vance must ensure it.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: Ceasefire or not, Trump is clearly unfit to govern. He is in no shape to serve as our commander-in-chief and is actively jeopardizing our national security. @JDVance, invoke the 25th.
