Governor Katie Hobbs: This Memorial Day weekend, over 50 law enforcement agencies worked tirelessly to keep our highways safe. I was proud to stand with our DUI Taskforce yesterday and see their lifesaving efforts firsthand. To all the officers who protected Arizona families: thank you.

AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: By educating veterans and their families, we can make Arizona the hardest state in the nation to scam a veteran. And for those who try anyway—my office will find you, and we will hold you accountable.

AZ Treasurer Kimberly Yee: Today I issued a Request for Information (RFI) to modernize the state’s ESA financial platform. We are seeking innovative l financial platform solutions to improve support for more than 100,000 Arizona students and their families.

State Senator Warren Petersen: Katie Hobbs is putting out a fundraising call saying that she is tied with Biggs. Actually according to the last poll there is a good argument he is slightly beating her. Here's why: 1. The poll did not include a question about the green party candidate. That will shave off a point or two from Hobbs. 2. The undecideds will break towards Biggs as most were right leaning. 3. We have added 100k Rs since the last election and it was decided by 17k votes. Get out the vote and Rs win. Add to this that Biggs is the de facto nominee (polling over 50 percent) and is now unifying the party. And folks that is why Hobbs will go up with ads before the primary has even officially ended.

State Representative Cheryl Caswell: The Voters understand the assignment! No more squishy Republicans! You will be subject to a Primary Election! Let’s git it done!

State Representative Nick Kupper: Since AZ cut 3x more SNAP users than other states then either we had far too many people on it who shouldn’t have been or the Feds made the new requirements too hard or the Gov & her staff suck. Since no other state is having these issues sound like it’s Hobbs who failed again.

State Representative Quang Nguyen: I went out today with Gary Mortimer of Mortimer Farms to survey damaged areas caused irresponsible off roaders. Strangely, I did enjoy my dirt time.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mark Stewart: Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Join us for our @VitalantAZ Community Blood Drive on Friday, May 29, from 12:30–3:30 PM and help save lives. If you're on TRT, donating blood is for YOU! Keep your red blood cell count within range while making a life-saving impact. Gameday Mens Heath - Chandler 2450 S Gilbert Rd Chandler AZ Let's fill these time slots!Cactus Politics
