Senator Mark Kelly: Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Of everything I've done in my life, being a dad to my girls and a grandfather to Sage is what I'm most proud of.

Representative Andy Biggs: Just over nine months ago, the world lost one of its most dedicated fathers in Charlie Kirk. We would be remiss today if we did not remember and honor this dad and the legacy he left behind. Thank you, Charlie, for leaving an example of fatherhood worth emulating.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: I don’t know about you fellas, but Dad is by far my favorite title! Wishing all the dads out there a happy Father’s Day, especially my dad and hero - Juan Ciscomani II

Representative David Schweikert: I joined @SecDuffy and the I-11 Coalition to discuss Arizona’s interstate priorities. I-11 is a major project for Arizona, and we’re working to move it up the federal priority list while bringing better technology to the permitting process.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: On Father’s Day, we celebrate the remarkable men in our family — those who taught us strength and resilience, planted deep values in our hearts, loved us fiercely, and shaped who we are today. Thank you for everything.

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 am so grateful to Arizona @ActiveRetirees for presenting me with their Hero Award! I'm looking forward to continuing to partner with this wonderful group of retirees and senior activists and to promote policies in Congress that protect the civil rights of all older Americans.Cactus Politics
