Governor Katie Hobbs: I'm proud that we’ve reached a balanced, bipartisan budget agreement for Arizona. Here's what we’re delivering: $1.4 billion tax cut for middle class families Key investments in job creation, education & water security A moratorium on the data center tax exemption Time to get to work to pass this budget and make our state stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes: Scammers are using artificial intelligence to clone voices, create fake videos, and craft messages that are nearly impossible to distinguish from the real thing. If you think you've been victimized by a scam

State Senator Janae Shamp: I have been called out of town to deal with a medical emergency involving a close family member. While I am unable to be at the Capitol this week, I have remained informed throughout the budget process. Based on the briefings I have received, I would have supported this budget. No budget is perfect, and with a Republican governor we could have delivered an even more conservative result. That said, Republican lawmakers are fighting hard for Arizona taxpayers and secured a fiscally responsible budget that advances key conservative priorities despite divided government. Our family would appreciate prayers for the hands of all involved and for a full recovery.

State Representative Alma Hernandez: The new world of politics we live in: you post your lewd vids online & call for political violence, then cry victim. The media pretends there's nothing to see! You can have a nazi tattoo, and politicians will pretend you didn't know. BUT if you're a woman, you must be PERFECT!

State Representative Nick Kupper: Yesterday we passed my bill HB2460 with bipartisan support in both chambers. This bill prevents cities from charging grocery stores a fine when their shopping carts get stolen. It’s up to @GovernorHobbs now to sign it & protect victims of crime or veto it & attack those victims.

State Representative Walt Blackman: Can I be the difference someone needs today? Today, we return to the Capitol to continue work on Arizona’s state budget. The budget is one of the most important responsibilities of government because it affects every community and every family across our state. From education and public safety to infrastructure, water, healthcare, and economic opportunity, these decisions have real impacts on people’s lives. As we work through the budget process, my goal is to support solutions that are fiscally responsible, reflect the needs of Arizona’s diverse communities, and help create a strong future for all who call Arizona home. Every Arizonan matters, and we must strive to ensure that no community, no family, and no individual is left behind as we build a stronger Arizona together. “To do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” — Micah 6:8 #AZLeg #ArizonaBudget #Arizona

State Representative Pamela Carter: Faith. Family. Freedom. That's what drove every fight I had for you this term. Real results for Arizona families. The work isn't finished, and neither am I.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mark Stewart: Good news. Every municipality should be exploring cost effective ways to remove PFAS, hormones, and other endocrine-disrupting compounds from our drinking water. Several years ago, I advocated for evaluating nanofiltration technology in Chandler. At the time, the cost was considered prohibitive. Given advancements in treatment technology and growing concerns about emerging contaminants, I believe it is worth revisiting. @KTAR923 @Water4Arizona @azwater @Water
