Senator Mark Kelly: My mom became the first woman police officer in our hometown back in the ‘70s. She had to scale a wall for the physical fitness test, and after months of practice, she could do it faster than the men. She taught me how to make a goal, plan for it, and execute it. I've carried that my whole life.

Senator Ruben Gallego: On average, Arizona families spend more than $16,000 per year on child care. That’s more than college tuition at ASU. I’m backing a bill to cap the price of child care. We’ve got to get serious about making it easier to be a working parent.

Representative Andy Biggs: I'm urging the Department of War to identify opportunities to expand domestic copper mining, processing, refining, and recycling on the approximately 3.12 million acres of defense land under its management in Arizona. Arizona already leads in copper production, and we have a tremendous opportunity to build on that strength.

Representative Paul Gosar: Europe is paying the price for the radical Left’s failed policies: weakened borders, affirmed lawlessness, and an alarming embrace for political violence. America is heading down the same dangerous path. The Left’s soft-on-crime policies, open borders, and radical socialist agenda are bringing the failures we see across Europe to our own doorstep. These are not distant problems. They are warnings of what happens when leftists put extreme socialist ideology ahead of their duty to protect their own people. America must put Americans first. We must secure our borders, restore law and order, and reject the radical Left’s failed socialist agenda before our nation pays the price. Europe is the warning. America must not make the same mistake.

Representative Eli Crane: Last week, my staff joined the ribbon-cutting for the Nzhǫ́ǫ́níhí Benkegohen’áání Gową (Home of Harmony). Thanks to the Fort Apache Heritage Foundation and partners, this historic building now offers residences, as well as meeting and office space in Fort Apache. #AZ02

Representative Juan Ciscomani: $3 million for Thatcher’s First Avenue widening project would be a game changer for Graham County. PROUD to join Mayor Jenny Howard and so many great members of our community to hear directly from them about how this project can improve everyday life for families across Graham County. The people who live here know what their community needs, and I’m listening.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Under President Trump, the VA has increased permanent housing placements for homeless veterans while advancing treatment for addiction & mental illness & establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence. Now, Veteran homelessness is at a historic low. As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Congressman Hamadeh supports these efforts, & the work continues until no veteran is left without a home.

Representative Greg Stanton: This weekend, the FBI Phoenix Field Office and the AZ Department of Homeland Security informed me, @RepYassAnsari, & @Rep_Grijalva that suspicious letters had been sent to our offices. Similar letters, many containing unknown substances, have been mailed to elected officials across the country. The FBI and @USPIS_HQ are investigating. We're grateful to law enforcement for acting quickly and keeping our staff and communities safe. We will not be intimidated, and we'll keep doing the work that Arizonans elected us to do.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: The FBI Phoenix Field Office and the Arizona Department of Homeland Security informed me, @RepGregStanton, and @Rep_Grijalva that suspicious letters were sent to our offices. We’re grateful to law enforcement for acting quickly and keeping our staff and communities safe. Threats and intimidation will never stop us from being public servants, and we'll continue doing the work that Arizonans elected us to do.
