Senator Mark Kelly: Happy Labor Day, Arizona. Labor unions make sure workers get stability, dignity, and a fair shot. Growing up the son of two union members, I saw firsthand what that meant for a working-class family like ours. Every worker deserves the opportunity to build a better life, and that’s why we have to keep standing up for workers' rights.
Senator Ruben Gallego: Workers deserve a fighting chance. Unions give them one. Happy Labor Day, Arizona.
Representative Andy Biggs: Many of our laws are outdated, allowing criminals to further exploit their victims or withholding critical tools for law enforcement to defend the innocent. I'm working in the U.S. House to enhance protections for victims and increase tools for law enforcement. We cannot fail those among us who are vulnerable and in need of safeguards.
Representative Paul Gosar: This is welcome news for AZ ranchers. Mexican wolves have devastated livestock & put rural communities at risk for far too long. I intro'd HR 4255 2 remove the Mexican wolf from the ESA & return management 2 the states. It’s time 2 protect our ranchers, communities & responsible wildlife mngnt.
Representative Eli Crane: Appreciate your efforts, @USBPChiefTCA.
Representative Juan Ciscomani: From the small businesses to the farms and ranches, hardworking Arizonans are truly the backbone of our #AZ06 community! Wishing everyone a safe and restful Labor Day as we celebrate the contributions of those who keep Arizona moving forward each day 🇺🇸
Representative Abe Hamadeh: The Air Force wants to retire the A-10 before a real replacement exists. That’s a risk Congressman Hamadeh knows our troops on the ground can’t afford.
Representative Greg Stanton: This Labor Day, we celebrate the women and men who built our country and the labor movement that fought to make sure hard work is rewarded with dignity, fair pay, and a seat at the table. I’ll continue to stand with labor in the important fights ahead.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: Congratulations to restaurants in Phoenix that were recognized as "Bib Gourmand" or a selected restaurant in Michelin's first guide for the Southwest! I'm so proud that Phoenix is finally being applauded as an up-and-coming culinary hub in the country.
Representative Adelita Grijalva: This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers who fought, organized, and sacrificed to win the rights we have today - and the workers who are still fighting for a better future. Thank a union. Join a union. Organize your workplace. Organize your community. Power to the workers, not the billionaires. Solidarity forever.
