AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: Last week, Secretary Fontes joined @America250AZ in packing and preparing food boxes for children and families in need at St. Mary’s Food Bank for America’s Potluck Week of Service.

State Senate President Warren Petersen: Prayers and condolences to the Graham family.

State Senator Jake Hoffman: Republican candidate for LD10 House appears to have LIED repeatedly — claiming she’s a “retired Air Force veteran” while HIDING from voters her: - Dishonorable Discharge - Military confinement (ie JAIL) - Reduction in rank VOTERS DESERVE TRUTH!

State Representative Rachel Keshel: Honored to do exactly what a representative is elected to do: Fight for the rights and freedoms of every Arizonan!!!

State Representative Joseph Chaplik: Carpetbagger Jay Feely ran in CD5. Then he changed his mind and ran in CD1. He said Trump couldn't win in 2016. Then he changed his mind. He blamed January 6 on Trump's "failure of leadership." Then he changed his mind. He supported gun control. Then he changed his mind. If Jay Feely keeps changing his positions — and even his district — to fit the moment, what makes you think he won't change again once he's in Washington? He can’t be trusted. We don't need another political opportunist. We need someone with a proven record of standing on principle — even when it's not popular. Joseph Chaplik hasn't had to change his positions, because he's always been America First. Principles don't change with the polls. Vote Representative Joseph Chaplik!

State Representative Teresa Martinez: Wow. May he RIP. Prayers for his family and friends to find strength and comfort during this difficult time. Thank you to Senator Graham and his staff for their service to our country

State Representative Pamela Carter: Military families in LD4 have earned more than our words. They've earned our fight to make sure they're never forgotten. That's a debt of honor I don't take lightly.

State Representative David Livingston: Michigan has a 12K problem

State Representative Justin Wilmeth: Everything’s not better in Canada…
