Senator Jake Hoffman: .@SenWarren single-handedly killed Spirit Airlines Low fare airlines reduce the cost of routes by 20% Now thousands are jobless & travelers are forced to pay far more than if the merger had occurred All because of this socialist moron & the Democrat Party Socialism destroys

State Representative Cody Reim: To the people of @LD3azgop48 and all Arizonans. This week the @AZHouseGOP passed HB4152 -full conformity to the Trump Tax Cuts- This $1.45B tax cut is one of the largest tax cuts in Arizona’s history! If the governor signs this, it means you will keep more of your money that you have labored and sacrificed to earn. To @GovernorHobbs, put more money into the pockets of Arizonans. No Tax on Tips and Overtime, these are items you have supported and asked for. Sign this budget and these tax cuts into law.

State Representative Joseph Chaplik: I will not go to Washington D.C. to grow government. That is the last thing the people of this country need and it should be the last thing they want. In 6 years in the state house, I consistently voted against more spending and more government. My record speaks for itself.

State Representative Nick Kupper: Our documentary with @ChildrensHD “Duty to Disobey” comes out June 30th!

State Representative John Gillette: 100% correct. Kelly is not the only one, Hobbs, and the rest of the democrats are broke. The AZ democrats funding is drying up and they are in a deficit. Dems push the NFT union agenda, Communists, Radical Islam.. this is the leftist base. Real Americans wont fund this.
