Senator Ruben Gallego: Trump has dragged us into yet another forever war with no clear objective or exit strategy. That decision has had grave consequences. On the USS Abraham Lincoln, eight sailors attempted suicide. Our service members and their loved ones deserve answers, and I intend to get them.

Representative Andy Biggs: I appreciate the Sun Lakes Rotary Club for its donation of thousands of dictionaries for Arizona students. These rotarians are doing their parts to help increase the literacy of our children. Keep up the good work.

Representative Eli Crane: On Saturday, my staff joined Hermanas Cafe as they celebrated three years in business and opened their new permanent location in Coolidge. We're grateful to our community partners who came out to show their support, and we wish the team at Hermanas Cafe continued success. #AZ02

Representative Juan Ciscomani: PROUD to recognize the South32 team for their outstanding commitment to safety and preventing fatalities and serious injuries. The Hermosa Project is an important investment in Santa Cruz County projected to finish in 2028, and I am grateful for the team’s continued commitment to keeping their workers safe

Representative Abe Hamadeh: If a private vendor can release mail ballots without the Recorder’s green light, the Recorder doesn’t control the ballots. The contractor does. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors holds the Runbeck contract. Keeping them is an endorsement of failure. FIRE THEM.

Representative Greg Stanton: Congratulations to #TECOinPhoenix on your grand opening this week! Arizona’s close partnership with Taiwan helped transform our state into a technology powerhouse. From semiconductors to joint research & engineering, this new office is a recognition that our economic partnership is only growing stronger. Thank you to Minister @chia_lung for making the trip. #TaiwaninPhoenix

Representative Yassamin Ansari: 68,000 people exposed. Hackers with an open-source AI tool. No country can fight this alone. The U.S. and China must cooperate on AI security now, before our financial system is next.
