AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: Brahm exemplifies the best of journalism— tough but fair and always in pursuit of the truth. He will be missed. Wishing you all the best in retirement, @brahmresnik
State Senator Jake Hoffman: God bless the Florida panhandle. America owes you a significant debt of gratitude
State Representative Cody Reim: As winner of the LD3 State House Representative Race, I have asked for an expanded administrative review of my election and also submitted a legislative records request of the cast vote records.
State Representative Alexander Kolodin: Katie Hobbs ran on “Arizona First”. Now one of her first acts will be to take away your vote and give it to California.
State Representative Rachel Keshel: Representative Cody Reim with the spine to do exactly what needs to be done!!!
State Representative Cheryl Caswell: I just supported On The Rocks Cafe, LLC with $10 on @buymeacoffee!
State Representative Consuelo Hernandez: Trump & his family have made billions from crypto while pushing for pro-crypto legislation that will make them richer. @SenMarkKelly @SenRubenGallego please reject any bill that does not prohibit elected officials and their families from profiting off crypto. We can stop this!
State Representative Nick Kupper: I have neither heard nor seen a concession from my opponent this cycle or last & I don’t need to either. Conceding when you’ve lost is the classy thing to do, but it doesn’t change anything. The voters have had their say & that is that.
State Representative John Gillette: I cant think of a better way to alienate the remaining Republican and conservative voters. A real leader would have stepped aside after the absolute failure to pass the Save act supported by 70% of Americans, the 500 + bills sitting on your desk, and failure to support a president that won the popular vote, electoral college and all the swing states. This is what power hungry narcissistic behavior looks like. You tell us you will fight the dems, yet you have spent the last 2 years kissing their ass and fighting Trump. The Senate members that supported you will not be forgiven.
