Hamadeh's Military and Veteran Fuel Discount Bill

Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) has introduced a bipartisan bill to provide a fuel discount to... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: There's zero reason to force people who have already legally spent years building a life here to leave the country to apply for a green card. These aren’t the hardened criminals the Administration says it goes after. It's just making life harder for people who are already contributing to our communities and takes workers and businessowners away from building up our economy.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Arizona’s future depends on strong energy, defense, water, and tech partnerships. That’s why I met with the American Chamber of Commerce in Spain to bring investment home, strengthen our defense supply chains, and make sure Arizona competes and wins.

Representative Andy Biggs: Earlier today, @ONDCP Director @SaraCarterDC and I met with a number of Arizona's Tribal partners to learn more about the issues these communities face with the drug crisis. We were honored to listen to these leaders and pledged our future support to help save lives.

Representative Paul Gosar: Arizona was built on the 5 C's - and cotton helped build the American West. Proud to support @SecRollins Great American Cotton Plan to strengthen US Ag, expand markets for American-grown cotton and put our farmers first!

Representative Eli Crane: Thank you to @DEAHQ for hosting Director @SaraCarterDC, @RepAndyBiggsAZ, and me at your Phoenix facility. We are deeply grateful for your tireless work to keep dangerous narcotics out of our communities.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Nobody does it better than #AZ06! Real action is moving forward to put our farmers and ranchers FIRST again. Grateful to @SecRollins and @SBA_Kelly for their continued partnership and commitment to elevating the needs of our local communities to the highest levels of government!

Representative David Schweikert: Happy Birthday to the U.S. Border Patrol. Thank you to the agents who protect our border and help keep Arizona safe.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Today, the Pollitos Little League team got a firsthand look at the heroes and equipment that help keep our nation secure at Luke Air Force Base. Congressman Hamadeh and our District team were proud to help make this visit possible. From military working dogs to firetrucks and fighter jets, these young Americans experienced the excellence, service, and patriotism that make our country great.

Representative Greg Stanton: Last year, DOGE dug through your private Social Security information & tax records, & some staff even saved it to their personal devices. To this day, we don’t know what they did with it. Americans have a right to know what happened with their data. If the Trump administration refuses to provide answers to the government’s watchdog, @HouseDemocrats will force them to once we retake the majority.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: I’m sickened that a Tempe student and their parent were violently detained by ICE and taken to a detention center in Texas just before his 8th grade promotion. Terrorizing a child, ripping them from their community, and forcing them into detention is beyond cruel. It is inhumane and disgraceful. This is exactly the kind of fear and trauma we have continued to see under Trump’s mass detention policies. I stand fully with Rep. Stanton and support every effort to bring this family home to Arizona where they belong.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: Trump building a UFC fighting cage outside the White House while people can’t afford healthcare, gas, or groceries. Way to read the room, Donald.
