Schweikert's Domestic Industry Bill

Representative David Schweikert (R-AZ) is teaming up with Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) to introduce a bipartisan bill designed to improve security within domestic industries on the... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: I’m working to rebuild American manufacturing because that's how we create good-paying jobs and stop depending on China and other foreign countries for the things we need. Ships. Chips. Steel. They should be made in America.

Senator Ruben Gallego: The war in Iran is crushing working-class families. It's time for Trump to end it.

Representative Andy Biggs: Yesterday, the U.S. House failed to pass my proposed constitutional amendment to permanently establish the U.S. Supreme Court at nine justices. Because H.J. Res. 1 proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, passage required the support of two-thirds of the Members present and voting. All except one Democrat opposed this common-sense measure, demonstrating their resolve to expand the Court as soon as they regain the majority.

Representative Eli Crane: ICYMI – The @USDOT, through the @FAANews, awarded more than $2.8 million for critical airport infrastructure upgrades in rural Arizona. This funding will help these facilities meet modern standards with new lighting, signage, pavement, and other safety improvements. #AZ02

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Incredibly special to honor Aaron Hennequin and Victoria Holtz as Veteran Servant Leaders at Doc’s Watering Hole in Sierra Vista during their weekly game night! The energy was truly incredible as we celebrated these outstanding veterans and small business owners who continue to serve their community long after their time in uniform 🇺🇸

Representative David Schweikert: We went from around 20 copper smelters in the U.S. to two, while China came to dominate much of the critical-mineral processing. Bringing that processing capacity back means using new extraction and refining technology to leapfrog the old methods and build the next generation of processing here.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh’s district staff visited Surprise’s new Community & Resource Center today. It was great to see so many important services now in one place, including senior programs, veterans resources, workforce assistance, housing help, youth programs, and the library. This will make it easier for families across Arizona’s 8th District to get the support they need.

Representative Greg Stanton: I'm proud to back the bipartisan Yavapai-Apache Nation Water Rights Settlement Act. Great talking with Chairman Buddy Rocha Jr. this week about what it means: honoring Tribal sovereignty, investing in critical infrastructure, and protecting the Verde River for every community that depends on it.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: This is devastating beyond words. Donald Trump has murdered thousands of innocent Iranians for his war of choice. Recall at the outset of this illegal war he promised Iranians “help is on the way.” He’s a pathological liar, so we knew this was a lie too. The “help” has come in the form of bombs against civilians and further economic sanctions that will certainly impact ordinary Iranians who are already struggling to afford anything. And let’s not forget the person at the very top leading the department carrying out these murders: Pete Hegseth. A guy who was not even close to being qualified for the job he holds. Hegseth was a Fox News host of sorts. He’s obsessed with culture wars and cosplaying as a gym bro. I urge my colleagues to join my effort to impeach Pete Hegseth. It’s the bare minimum, actually. Months later, I am still awaiting a response to my query about the Minab school bombing that killed 120 children - now we need an investigation into this deadly strike as well. An investigation AND accountability. People need to be prosecuted for murder. I’m just enraged by all of this.

Representative Adelita Grijalva: Our communities are sick and tired of hearing “thoughts and prayers.” Cameron and Vincent should still be alive today. May we honor their memory by fighting to end gun violence and combating hate targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Congress must act. No more excuses. No more waiting.
