Senator Mark Kelly: Are you a student leader at your high school? Applications are open for the 2027 U.S. Senate Youth Program. It’s a chance to spend March 6–13 in Washington, learn about public service, and receive a $12,500 college scholarship. Learn more: azed.gov/studentachieve

Senator Ruben Gallego: Trump just moved to gut Head Start, and Arizona families will feel it along with families across the country. For an administration that calls itself "pro-family," this is about as anti-family as it gets. We need to do everything in our power to fight back.

Representative Andy Biggs: Having an issue with a federal agency? My office stands ready to help. Contact my team, and we'll get to work on obtaining answers for your case.

Representative Paul Gosar: There is nothing compassionate or tolerant about using the power of gov't to silence people for peacefully expressing their beliefs. The First Amendment doesn't come with an abortion exception.

Representative Eli Crane: Tackling the fraud once and for all is critical to the long term strength of Medicare.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Helping Arizonans navigate the federal government will always be a priority of mine. Whether you need help with the IRS, a passport, or another federal agency, my Tucson district office is here to help. If you live in #AZ06, know that my team and I are always ready to serve you

Representative Greg Stanton: Thanks to @AZWater_org's Young Professionals Committee for having me. Stay in this fight — Arizona needs bright young engineers, operators, designers, and city staff doing the critical work each day to conserve our water.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Arizonans have voted by mail for decades. That's not going to change, no matter how much Donald Trump whines. Democrats will not let him or the Supreme Court take away your right to vote.
