Ansari Calls for U.S. Response to Sudan

Representative Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) is urging the United States to respond to reports indicating that the ongoing civil war in the Northeastern African country of Sudan is expected to escalate... READ MORE

AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: While no amount of money can fully make up for the disastrous impact opioids have had on Arizonans, these funds will help county sheriffs expand programs that give many a real shot at recovery, stability, and a second chance.

AZ Treasurer Kimberly Yee: Today I announced potential breakthrough AI updates to Arizona’s current ESA financial platform vendor to better serve Arizona’s families, enhance financial accountability, and deliver improvements at no additional cost to taxpayers.

AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: Yikes! The federal government was just caught knowingly trampling on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens their sacred right to vote. The good news: Arizonans do not have anything to be worried about because as long as I am Secretary of State, you will have someone fighting to protect your private data and your right to vote.

State Representative Cheryl Caswell: I’m thrilled to announce that Ross Kaplowitch, the newly elected Benson City Council member, has endorsed my campaign! His support means the world to me, and I look forward to working with him and the Benson City Council to deliver real results for our community. Mail-in ballots go out this Wednesday the 24th, so please vote for your strongest opportunity for real results Cheryl Caswell. Incumbents flipping seats to avoid term limits for decades MUST end.

State Representative Consuelo Hernandez: Thank you, @TucsonStar, for sharing my letter to LD21 about the work we have accomplished these past four years.

State Representative Joseph Chaplik: Another Feely FLOP More lies from the carpetbagging Democrat trying to steal our Republican primary. This time Jay’s Super PAC is insulting the voters of Scottsdale, who asked me to stand up for their constitutional right to vote on local zoning when one company tried to cancel their voice and win at the state level over a local city issue to build high-density housing in our community. I'll always stand up for my constituents!!!

State Representative Nick Kupper: “If Arizona voters don’t approve the constitutional amendment, potential bad actors can come in and attempt to remove something the state promised military families, Kupper said.”

State Representative John Gillette: Illegal entry is handled through an administrative immigration process. An immigration judge reviews the case, and if removal is ordered and ignored, a warrant is issued for lawful arrest. ICE is following the legal process established by federal law. The problem is that the leftist do not understand the difference between criminal and administrative immigration proceedings." Or they just hate America.

State Representative Teresa Martinez: Sadly we will lose our Picacho Peak DQ @GovernorHobbs vetoed HB2755 which would have saved it. This DQ has been around since the early 80s! when it goes so does the money that it generates for k-12 ed. It will be a vacant building/eyesore. We need @andybiggs4az To be Gov!

State Representative Quang Nguyen: BILL SIGNED STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – The Ben Avery Shooting Facility and other major state-owned public shooting ranges are now protected from unilateral closure under legislation sponsored by Republican State Representative Quang Nguyen and signed into law today. House Bill 2763 requires approval from the Arizona Legislature before the Arizona Game and Fish Commission may close certain state-owned shooting ranges located in or near large cities. It adds legislative approval to existing requirements for public hearings, commission approval, and action by the Governor. The bill passed the House and Senate without a single Democratic vote.
