Senator Mark Kelly: Donald Trump doesn’t care if your rent is too high or if you can’t afford a home. He made that clear today.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Five million Americans were stripped of their healthcare so a handful of billionaires could get a tax break. Sums up the Republican Party.

Representative Andy Biggs: Oftentimes, constituents come to our office for help, facing dire circumstances. While we can't always produce a positive result, we are thrilled when the answers do benefit the people in need. Having an issue with a federal agency? My office can assist! Contact us today.

Representative Eli Crane: Pass the SAVE America Act!

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Proud to help move the FY2027 Defense Appropriations Bill forward! A strong national defense starts with supporting those who defend us. This bill invests in military readiness, strengthens our forces, and delivers a well-deserved pay increase for our servicemembers. 12/12!

Representative David Schweikert: How big is the fraud in Medicaid home care? In New York, one program grew from $1 billion to $11 billion in a few years. Home health aides per capita are about three times the national average. Waste, fraud and abuse could make up a quarter of the state’s Medicaid spending.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: WATCH This week, Congressman Hamadeh had the pleasure of hosting representatives from Arizona’s incredible Jewish community. He remains committed to building strong partnerships across Arizona.

Representative Greg Stanton: Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ripping away reproductive freedom from millions of Americans. Abortion is now banned or restricted in 20 states, & the @HouseGOP wants to ban it nationwide. Healthcare decisions belong to patients & doctors, not extremist politicians. I'll keep fighting to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act & restore Roe as the law of the land.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Democrats support a strong Earth MRI program because we support science, public data, and evidence-based decision-making across the board. I hope that Republicans can join us in supporting the investments in the scientists, universities, and state partners that make Earth MRI happen.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: “CoMe HeRE LeGalLy” they say… These families did exactly that. This is Trump’s latest tool in his deportation machine: creating barriers that pressure our immigrant neighbors, friends, and family to leave.
