Hamadeh Says Senate GOP 'Squandered' Majority
AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: By educating veterans and their families, we can make Arizona the hardest state in the nation to scam a veteran. And for those who try anyway—my office will find you, and we will hold you accountable.
AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: Can’t say any office has cooler staff than mine, folks. My CFO, Gatjeak, just competed in the 2026 Speedgolf World Championships in New Zealand. Speedgolf combines running and golf into one sport where your golf score and the time it took you to play are added together. Out of 109 qualified competitors from 16 countries, our guy finished 15th with 18 hole scores of 76 in 46 minutes & 80 in 47 minutes. We couldn’t be more proud!
State Senator Jake Hoffman: Gina is a Democrat. Schweikert was going to lose big which is why he quit — Gina knows this. We discussed it. Feely was absolutely loved by the moderates. Gina is a sore loser who sill never win a primary, so she makes things up to be relevant. Total narcissistic behavior.
State Representative Alma Hernandez: Today I walked through the Anne Frank exhibit in Chicago. I saw this & immediately thought of the pics & videos I saw online of useful idiots taking to the streets to harass & intimidate Jewish-owned businesses. We will NOT go back. We know how this started. NOT NOW, NOT EVER.
State Representative Alexander Kolodin: For every 10% of voters with income from assets, a district was +4.70 points more resistant to the blue tsunami. LD3 +7.5 points more resistant. LD4 +5.5 points more resistant LD14 −3.19 points less resistant Its the economy (and the war) stupid!
State Representative Rachel Keshel: Psalm 37:7 – “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way.”
State Representative Nick Kupper: Politics are as bitter & divided as I’ve seen them in my lifetime. The voters are clearly fed up which is why they’ve swung so hard one way simply to punish the other side, without regard for how it may punish them as well. We must take heed, stop the pettiness & just govern.
State Representative John Gillette: This is our battle, the ignorant sheep of left.
State Representative Teresa Martinez: @RepTonyRivero what an incredible job you did. It was my honor to serve with you my friend. You are an outstanding person!
State Representative Walt Blackman: Serving LD7 has taught me to listen first, keep my word, and stay with the work until it’s done. I think there’s room for more of that kind of leadership in Arizona.
State Representative Pamela Carter: It has taken time to process what just happened to our beloved America and Arizona. In the end, this isn’t about me, but about love of country and the people of Arizona, our families, children and our way of life. Thank you to all those who fought valiantly alongside of me, volunteered, knocked on doors and fought for the Arizona we love! Thank you to our donors who gave selflessly in support of my campaign in 2024 and 2026. To #LD4, Jodi Johnson and all the Republican women’s groups who stood with our Republican candidates. Thankful to serve as the Vice Chairman of our Public Safety and Law Enforcement and Committees on Water, Energy and Infrastructure. I was honored and blessed to serve as your Representative in the State House for the past two years, miraculously passing my HB2665, Cade’s Law protecting our minor children from online predators who encourage a teen to die by suicide. HB2666 created tougher penalties for sexual extortion of a minor online or in chat rooms. I passed HB2009 for tax relief for our deployed military and HB2323 for consumer protections for lemon vehicles overturning a 1996 AZ Supreme Court decision for leased vehicles. These were passed (many unanimously) and signed into law in a divided government. Thank you to our Majority caucus and bipartisan support in the House and Senate! I am proud of the work I accomplished this year in the Republican House and Senate and thankful to my team, Chuck Warren and September Group, Mike Tarantino, Chris Kelly and all those who helped fuel our efforts in 2024 and 2026. Though we did not prevail in the end, I always like to finish on a high note and faith. “God is the strength of my life and my portion forever” (Psalm 23:26) By Faith, though we do not see, yet we believe! (Hebrews 11) May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and give you grace and peace. “And finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and the power of His might, putting on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities in the heavenly realms and the spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places”. (Eph 6) I’m grateful to those who walked alongside of me through this journey, my friends, my family, my prayer team and my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Love Pamela
