AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: The ongoing neglect Dasmen Residential and Luxford Living continue to display by failing to supply adequate air conditioning to residents at Sedona Springs, Sienna Ridge, and Summit Ridge puts residents' lives at serious risk.

AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: In partnership with @vetthevote, I am proud to celebrate National Poll Worker Recruitment Day. Today we honor the unsung heroes of election administration in the country. Learn more & sign up to be a poll worker here: vetthe.vote

State Senator Jake Hoffman: Got it. @JohnGiles4AZ is nothing more than Hobbs’ little purse dog Just a useful idiot helping Democrats further destroy AZ He destroyed Mesa: Skyrocketing homeless epidemic Increasing taxes and fees Voted to let men in girls bathrooms Really pathetic man

State Senator Shawnna Bolick: Yesterday, YES on Prop. 318 - Protect Girls Sports released a new video entitled "Pretending.” Please watch and share. The opposition's website copies the YES on Prop. 318 website- violating Arizona election law, as well as, consumer protection and copyright laws. Girls need protection from those pretending to be something they're not on an athletic field. And voters need protection from opponents pretending to be something they're not online. For more information, please visit protectgirlssportsinaz.vote

State Representative Alexander Kolodin: Adrian Fontes is trying to duck out of debating me. And he’s doing it in the most pathetic and religiously insulting way possible. Adrian Fontes has requested a change in the debate date and made himself available on the one and only date that religious obligation would prevent me from debating him. September 21st is Yom Kippur, a religious holiday that is adhered to by Jewish residents of the State of Arizona including myself. Jews are forbidden from performing work of any kind on that day. Adrian Fontes already knows this, which is why the singular date he offered up was that date. This is cowardly, pathetic and un-American. Let me be very clear, I am more than happy to debate Mr. Fontes any other day and time and will clear my calendar. The simple truth is that Adrian is terrified of debating me because he knows I’ll expose his record of: Dismantling Arizona's proof of citizenship laws for voter registration Trying to stop cops from voting Attempting to seize the power to throw out votes from entire counties. Failing to protect your sensitive voter information Like I said, my calendar is clear. What's your excuse, Adrian?

State Representative Consuelo Hernandez: The winning team! The principled leadership Arizona deserves, putting politics aside to work for all of us! #HobbsGiles

State Representative John Gillette: AZ law is clear... strict compliance. It would appear the Save our Schools anti ESA, union goons, criminals, sex offenders just completely ignored Title 19.

State Representative Walt Blackman: NO COUNTY-LINE ESCAPE: AZ ANIMAL ABUSER REGISTRY

State Representative Quang Nguyen: Mr. Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, is one of my favorites within the 2A world. Thanks Sir for your support and kind words.

State Representative Pamela Carter: Arizona Fraternal Order of Police endorses Pamela. When law enforcement backs your child-protection record, that's a promise you can count on.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mark Stewart: Workforce development continues to be a major focus across our K-12 school districts, community colleges and universities. I was honored to take part in a workforce development summit yesterday with the Chandler, Gilbert and Queen Creek Chambers of Commerce. The biggest theme was simple: how do we better prepare today’s students for the jobs of tomorrow and continue adapting curriculum to meet the needs of changing industry? The good news is our schools aren’t doing it alone. Private industry is stepping up as a partner, helping identify the skills they need while our educators continue to sharpen the saw. @maricopacounty will continue to support organizations that help our kids succeed.
