Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) condemned remarks made by Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) saying conservative officials will be prosecuted as a deterrent tactic in a recent... READ MORE

Senator Mark Kelly: This is voter intimidation, plain and simple. Don't let anyone tell you this is about election security. It's about scaring eligible Americans from exercising their right to vote, and it’s not going to work.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Putin bears the sole responsibility for Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Because of him, tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians are dead or injured, including children. The only thing Steve Witkoff should be calling Putin is a war criminal and an enemy of the United States.

Representative Andy Biggs: My prayers are with the family members and friends of Tech. Sgt. Ian Patterson, who tragically passed away this past weekend in an accident at a college football game in Texas. May God comfort his loved ones and watch over the men and women who serve our nation in uniform.

Representative Eli Crane: Grateful to @SBAgov for putting personnel on the ground in Tusayan to assist small business owners dealing with the flash floods at @GrandCanyonNPS. I encourage impacted Arizonans to meet with SBA representatives by Oct. 30 and explore their options:

Representative Juan Ciscomani: So PROUD to celebrate Chiricahua becoming Arizona’s FOURTH national park alongside Gabbi, who has been behind the scenes on this effort since day one! This is more than a milestone. It is a legacy we will leave for generations to come!

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Welcome home, Stephen Hubbard. For more than four years, this American veteran sat in a Russian prison while the previous administration got nowhere. President Trump picked up the phone, spoke directly to Putin, and brought him home- no swap, no giveaway, pure strength in diplomacy. That’s the standard that's been set by this administration. No American left behind.

Representative Greg Stanton: I was a leader in the House in passing the CHIPS and Science Act, which has turned AZ into a global technology and manufacturing hub. Companies are now investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build America’s semiconductor industry right here in the Valley.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: I am appalled at the detention of many rabbis, activists, and even Brad Lander, my future colleague in the House, by the Israeli military earlier today. These individuals were in the West Bank to peacefully assist Palestinians with the olive harvest, which has been disrupted and targeted by rampant violence of Israeli settlers throughout the region. The Israeli government must take urgent action to release all the activists detained in this incident. They must also work to protect Palestinians from attacks, as is their obligation under international law. I am a proud cosponsor of the West Bank Violence Prevention Act, which would impose sanctions on the institutions and key leaders responsible for violence in the West Bank. The Trump Administration has an immediate obligation to press for safety and security for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza — and to halt unacceptable settlement expansion driving much of the violence and instability in the West Bank.
