Gallego's Bill for Men's Health

Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) introduced bipartisan legislation this week to establish a federal Office of Men's Health, pointing to alarming data showing American men are dying earlier and at higher rates than women across nearly every... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: Arizona is at the center of the microchip manufacturing boom in America. This is the result of years of work and investment jumpstarted by my CHIPS and Science Act. Our state is now home to nearly $300 billion in semiconductor investment and thousands of new good-paying jobs for working Americans.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s sons never got to say goodbye to their father. It’s high time the Department of Homeland Security reigns in ICE’s reckless and cavalier behavior before they tear more families apart.

Representative Andy Biggs: No words can express our sorrow or gratitude for the heroic service members killed in the line of duty for American freedoms. I join millions across the nation in grieving the loss of Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad and praying for the loved ones she left behind. May she rest in peace.

Representative Eli Crane: On Tuesday, @EnergyGOP held a legislative hearing on the North Rim Restoration Act of 2025. This marked the first significant Senate action on the bill since it unanimously passed the House in March. I'm hopeful we can get this across the finish line:

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Great meeting with Primergy to discuss the future of energy in #AZ06! Appreciated the update on their growing renewable energy projects and the investments driving that support an all-of-the-above energy approach across AZ

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh applauds @SpeakerJohnson for including key provisions of the SAVE America Act in yesterday’s House reconciliation package. Election integrity is essential to preserving our Constitutional Republic. Our elections must be decided by American citizens ONLY, with every lawful ballot protected.

Representative Greg Stanton: Congressional Republicans ripped away critical tax credits that made healthcare affordable, & now over 100,000 Arizonans have been kicked off their coverage. We passed a bipartisan fix in the House to reinstate them & bring down costs. The Senate can't wait — families are paying the price.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: I’m so grateful for our AZ-03 Community Ambassadors, who have volunteered hundreds of hours serving our community. Interested in getting involved? Apply on our website by July 24th!
