Governor Katie Hobbs: Arizona has been doing the federal government’s job at the border for far too long. Over $900M later, it's time for Washington to pay its bill. Proud to stand with our sheriffs, local law enforcement, state troopers, and state agencies to demand the federal reimbursement our law enforcement and communities deserve.

AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: Illicit drugs have no place in Arizona communities. We will keep working with our federal and local law enforcement partners to get dangerous drug traffickers off the streets and hold them accountable.

AZ Secretary Adrian Fontes: 1.1 million ballots were cast during the July 21 primary election with 90% of voters voting early. Watch the full official canvass on our YouTube.

State Senator Jake Hoffman: This is a big deal. Why would @maricopacounty have hired a far-Left extremist group to register voters? Not good if true.

State Representative John Gillette: Millions of out of state dollars spent, millions in teacher union money spent.... resulting in failure. Great news for parents choice and educational outcomes. Well done FEC and @GoldwaterInst Thank you for winning!

State Representative Leo Biasiucci: I knew something was off when so many were trying to make a deal at the 11th hour.

State Representative Walt Blackman: Government intelligence shouldn’t live in silos. CivicOS brings legislation, budgets, public records, and agency data into one secure workspace: with explainable AI and source-cited answers. See government clearly.

State Representative Quang Nguyen: A fun memory… I ran into coach Flores at a gift shop in Maui back in 2005. I walked up to him and said “Thank you for XV and XVIII”. He smiled and shook my hand. Way cool moment.

State Representative Pamela Carter: My great-grandfather came to Arizona to work. I'm here to serve. That's the difference a generation and a calling make.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mark Stewart: Thanks for having me out! Grateful to share the good work @maricopacounty is doing for our residents: lowering property taxes supporting public safety heat relief assistance Great to see @andybiggs4az and meet @SineKerr.
