Senator Mark Kelly: My office has helped thousands of Arizonans navigate federal agencies. Veteran’s benefits. Social Security. Immigration. Passports. If you're hitting a wall and need help, reach out to my team.
Representative Andy Biggs: My prayers are with the McCain family as they grieve the loss of Douglas - a son, brother, husband, father, and friend. We appreciate his service to our great nation and hope his memory is cherished by all who loved him.
Representative Eli Crane: Very sad to hear about the loss of racing legend Kyle Busch. I had the chance to meet him a couple of times, and he was always kind. Praying for his family.
Representative Juan Ciscomani: Laura and I extend the McCain family our deepest condolences as they mourn the loss of Doug McCain. Our prayers are with his wife, Ashley, his children, Caroline and Shepp, during this incredibly difficult time
Representative David Schweikert: Fraudsters exploit Medicaid because the system pays first and chases later. That is absolutely insane. Stop the money before it ever goes out the door.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: The scale of fraud exposed by @lukerosiak is staggering. Congressman Hamadeh appreciated the opportunity to speak with him at the @RepublicanStudy roundtable and remains fully committed to pursuing arrests, prosecutions, and justice for every taxpayer victimized.
Representative Greg Stanton: Too many Native American veterans have to travel hours to reach the nearest VA. Ahead of Memorial Day, I worked across the aisle with @RepEliCrane to get $5 million in funding approved for mobile VA units that bring healthcare to them. Now we need the full House & Senate to pass the spending bill so we can make it happen.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: It was wonderful to join @CAPAC and @HouseDemocrats for their AAPI Night Market! There was no better way to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month than to try a variety of delicious dishes, drinks, and desserts from across the Asian diaspora.
