Crane's White Sage Fire Recovery Bill

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) is celebrating the inclusion of his White Sage Fire recovery amendment to the 2026 Farm Bill.

The new Farm Bill comes nearly eight years after the 2016 Farm Bill, which... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: "No quarter" is a violation of the laws of war and puts American servicemembers at greater risk. I gave Secretary Hegseth a chance to clear up what he meant when he said "no quarter, no mercy" and he refused. As Secretary of Defense, the things he says matter and this is just another reason why he isn't right for this job.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Joined @AtlanticCouncil to discuss what’s at stake in Colombia’s presidential elections. Stability there isn’t just a regional issue. It directly impacts our shared security and economic future.

Representative Andy Biggs: Victims like Kayleigh Kozak should not have to return to court repeatedly to face their offender to extend the order or be forced to wait until their offender tries to contact them in order to petition the court for lifetime protection. That's why I'm supporting a federal version of Kayleigh’s Law.

Representative Paul Gosar: Proud 2 vote 4 the Farm Bill that included my amendment #16 restoring fairness for AZ ranchers. Outdated federal standards made it nearly impossible 2 prove livestock losses from Mexican wolves. My amendment brings back commonsense rules so ranchers aren’t denied compensation.

Representative Eli Crane: Folks could always try voting better.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Agriculture is central to Arizona’s identity, with three of our Five C’s being cattle, citrus, and cotton. I was proud to support the Farm Bill and see it pass the house floor. I have visited dozens of farmers across AZ-06 who have made clear how urgently this legislation is needed. Food security is national security. It strengthens support for our farmers facing drought and helps keep costs down. I am proud the House worked together in a bipartisan fashion to get this done, and I call on the Senate to take up this critical legislation without delay.

Representative David Schweikert: Today, we will borrow $88,000 every second. Every second. The way the law is written today, Social Security is six years from a 24% cut. Medicare’s trust fund is gone. Hospitals take a cut. But we’re not supposed to say that out loud in an election year.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Before her powerful testimony before @JudiciaryGOP, Congressman Hamadeh and @RepAndyBiggsAZ met with @kayleigh_kozak, the courageous young woman who inspired Kayleigh’s Law. This legislation delivers lifelong no-contact protections for victims of federal sex crimes and violent felonies. Congressman Hamadeh recently introduced the bill in the House, with Congressman Biggs serving as an original co-sponsor.

Representative Greg Stanton: ICE is holding detained individuals for days in facilities designed for 12-hour stays. In an unannounced inspection, we found hundreds sleeping on concrete floors, with outdoor bathrooms.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Republicans can’t get their shit together. Here’s some of the madness that went down this week.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: 400,000 Arizonans, including 180,000 CHILDREN, have been kicked off SNAP since the Big Ugly Law was passed. That's the most of any state in the country. Yet the GOP's farm bill does NOTHING to repeal these cuts. They are literally taking the food out of children's mouths.
