Kelly's Senior Chatbot Bill Gains Momentum

Senator Mark Kelly's (D-AZ) Senior Chatbot Protection Act, which he introduced in July, is gaining support from numerous organizations and individuals across... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: I’ve spent a lot of time deployed on aircraft carriers. It’s never easy, but what I’m hearing from families of sailors on the Lincoln and other ships is unacceptable. A sailor literally jumped overboard. I’m glad they’re headed home, but Trump and Hegseth need to take this seriously.

Senator Ruben Gallego: A year ago, Trump's FTC ended an investigation into surveillance pricing, calling it a "made up buzzword." Now they're saying companies should only have to tell you when they’re ripping you off. Just admitting it in the fine print isn't enough to protect people. Companies shouldn't be allowed to use your personal data to charge you more. Period. Let's work together to make surveillance pricing illegal.

Representative Andy Biggs: This story is another reminder of the humanitarian crisis an open border presents to vulnerable men, women, and children attempting to cross through the desert. Border security isn't just national security; it's compassionate to individuals being smuggled into the United States.

Representative Eli Crane: To think there are politicians trying to make Arizona more like California. Let’s not do that.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Small businesses are the backbone of #AZ06! Great to join the Marana Chamber of Commerce for their Member Appreciation Luncheon and recognize the local business leaders and employers who do so much to strengthen our communities. Together, we are building a stronger local economy

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Working families, seniors & young professionals across Arizona are finally seeing a real home buyers’ market with lower prices and bigger concessions. For the first time in years, the American Dream of homeownership feels within reach again. President Trump’s secure border and America First policies are delivering real results for Arizona.

Representative Greg Stanton: The Trump administration said it wants to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. Then it cut the grant that has funded community prevention since the 1980s. With new HIV diagnoses on the rise in AZ, this funding is critical to keeping people safe and healthy. I'm calling for the budget office to reverse course and restore this funding now.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: I've seen the conditions inside ICE detention centers firsthand. They are horrific. These abuses are a moral stain on our country. We cannot continue to fund and legitimize a system that strips people of their dignity and violates their human rights.
