Hamadeh on GOP's November Surprise

Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) discussed the Republicans' midterm prospects in a recent appearance on James T. Harris's Conservative Circus radio program, saying there will be... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: This is a temporary order. If my Republicans colleagues really want to put a stop to this corrupt slush fund and any others like it in the future, they should support the bill that @SenAdamSchiff, @SenatorSlotkin and I are introducing tonight.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Let's call it what it was. A $1.8 billion slush fund for Trump and the Jan 6 mob, paid for by you. Killed only because two judges and his own party balked. Trump can't be trusted. Congress needs to stop this for good.

Representative Andy Biggs: My prayers are with the Fitzgerald family on the passing of their father, Larry Sr. May he rest in peace and his loved ones experience comfort in the days and months ahead.

Representative Paul Gosar: The American people are tired of being told to ignore the consequences of lawlessness. Fund ICE, secure the border, protect our communities and arrest and deport those responsible for this barbaric act.

Representative Eli Crane: We have to do more to counter the tunnel threat at our border. Last year, I secured passage of the Subterranean Border Defense Act in a 402-1 vote in the House. Like most things, it’s collecting dust in the Senate.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Proud to cosponsor this landmark bill which boosts benefits at historic levels for AZ06 veterans’ survivors and Gold Star families through @HouseVetAffairs. Congress has a responsibility to stand with our American heroes long after the sacrifice is made – grateful we were able to deliver for their loved ones on a bipartisan basis

Representative David Schweikert: Why squander reconciliation? Use it to cut waste and fraud without taking away people’s services. That is the moral thing to do.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: What Gold Star mother @realtinapeters has been forced to endure over the past several years for the “crime” of blowing the whistle on election fraud is unconscionable. Today, upon her release from this unjust imprisonment, Congressman Hamadeh celebrates Tina’s freedom.

Representative Greg Stanton: Child care costs are crushing Arizonans and keeping parents out of the workforce. I'm backing the Child Care for Working Families Act to lower costs for parents, expand access to quality care for kids, and pay child educators and care workers a living wage. Let's get it done.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: I'm working to destigmatize the pain too many women endure in silence, including the newly-recognized PMOS. The more we uplift women’s stories, the louder the public calls for real research and bold legislation like mine that will change what’s possible for future generations.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: For generations, LGBTQ+ people have led the fight for a stronger and more just future. Progress wasn’t won by corporations or billionaires. It was won by everyday people who had the courage to stand up, speak out, and demand change. Today, we are called to do the same. Pride is our protest. Pride is our power. And I will always defend that.
