Senator Mark Kelly: America used to be the leader in shipping and shipbuilding. We let that slip away. My SHIPS for America Act is how we get back to it: Great-paying jobs, stronger supply chains, and a fleet worthy of America.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Good. Women deserve access to their own healthcare without having to fight for it. But we have to make sure it stays that way.

Representative Andy Biggs: Having an issue with a federal agency? Don't hesitate to contact my district office. My team would be happy to talk with you and attempt to obtain answers for your case. We appreciate every opportunity to serve the great people of Arizona's Fifth Congressional District.

Representative Paul Gosar: Great news for accountability and compassion. Proud to stand with @WhiteCoatWaste in ending wasteful taxpayer-funded animal experiments - protecting pets, defending taxpayers and keeping sensitive research dollars out of the wrong hands.

Representative Eli Crane: Getting anti-CBDC legislation to President Trump’s desk remains a critical priority. We’ve got to get this done.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Grateful to have hosted @SecVetAffairs alongside local veterans and key stakeholders for a productive conversation on how we continue delivering for those who served our nation. With more than 80,000 veterans in AZ-06, we’re building on our momentum to strengthen transition support and expand access to the mental health care they’ve earned.

Representative David Schweikert: Something is wrong when the biggest job in New York is home care: 650,000 people. Family members are getting paid for checkbooks, groceries, and rides to the doctor. CMS has no way to know if it happened. Medicaid is paying for fraud as much as medicine.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Only in D.C. does a judge say “sorry” to the guy who shot a Secret Service agent and tried to turn the Correspondents’ Dinner into target practice.

Representative Greg Stanton: The Supreme Court ordered Trump to refund $166 billion in tariffs he illegally collected from families and small businesses. But here's a catch: that money isn't going back to you, it's going straight to corporations.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Last month, Arizonans spent over $459 billion more on gas than before Donald Trump's War in Iran, and as of this week, gas is nearly $5/gallon. Trump launched our country into an unconstitutional war of choice with Iran and hardworking Americans are paying the price at the pump.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: Relief today, but the fight continues. We must continue to stand up for access to reproductive health care, including abortion care, for all people across the country.
