Gail Griffin Warns of Delinquent Audit Consequences

State Representative Gail Griffin (R-19) recently warned that Arizona's continued noncompliance with the federal Single Audit under Governor Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) will cost the Grand Canyon State billions in... READ MORE

AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: Arizona’s children are paying the price for TikTok’s pursuit of profit. This lawsuit, like the landmark lawsuit against Meta, is necessary to stop TikTok’s unlawful practices, hold them accountable, and protect Arizona families.

AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: Business, much like democracy, doesn't thrive in chaos. It's time to make your plan, Arizona. If you are voting by mail this election: Receive it, Vote it, Return it. For more information or to track your ballot, visit Arizona.Vote.

State Representative Cody Reim: @tylercain_ thanks for letting me know, I’ll clear my schedule! All kidding aside, this will be pivotal! Thank you for all the work you put into making this happen.

State Representative Michele Peña: I'm excited to announce that the @AZ_Realtors have endorsed my campaign! I’ve worked with both parties to lower your taxes, make housing more affordable, and create a strong economy that attracts top talent to Arizona. Thank you @AZ_REALTORS for your trust and support!

State Representative Cheryl Caswell: Gadsden Team was out meeting voters preparing them for the Ballots and Early Voting! Do you have a plan to Vote? And Yes - that’s a Zebra in Cochise County. @TPAction

State Representative Nick Kupper: I hope Independents in AZ understand that if Hobbs is reelected she will go extremely far left. She can never be elected again & will have no incentive to moderate. Independents pride themselves on being more moderate, but a vote for Hobbs this time will be an extreme left vote.

State Representative John Gillette: As Governor you bowed to CAIR and other Islamic groups with proven ties to Hamas. This is why my HCM 2000 and 2001 were sent directly to congress to designate CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Worse yet you support the Red-Green Alliance between Democrats and Radical Islam for a few votes. We put Americans 1st.... not resettlement programs. The AZ legislature didn't request these federal funds. This is on the executive branch. This is all on you Katie Hobbs, stop AZ Department of Employment security from paying for resettlement! Elect Andy Biggs to end this waste.

State Representative Walt Blackman: Honored to be selected as a Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellow. I look forward to learning alongside distinguished leaders and scholars committed to better education and stronger communities. Arizona’s potential is limitless—and our children deserve a future that reflects it.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mark Stewart: "Human connection is what brought me out of the slump I was in after my attack." Stronger Together student panelist Connor Jarnagan turned to social media to cope after being brutally attacked with brass knuckles. But it was getting offline and connecting with people in person that helped him heal. Thank you, Connor, for sharing your testimony and reminding us of the power of human connection.
