Senator Mark Kelly: I’ve been speaking with local officials from across Arizona about the devastating flash floods, and I’ll do everything I can to support these communities. Arizonans know how to come together when times are hard. Thank you to every first responder and volunteer stepping up to help.
Representative Paul Gosar: Honored to receive this recognition from @ArizonaAFP. I’ll never stop fighting for individual liberty, limited government, and policies that put Arizona families, workers, and businesses first. Thank you, AFP-Arizona, for your continued fight for freedom and prosperity!
Representative Eli Crane: Your friendly reminder that America is awesome.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh’s district staff was grateful to join Surprise @MayorSartor, @RepGosar, and so many veterans and service members for Veterans Appreciation Day with the Maricopa County Community College District Veterans Club. Proud to stand with our local heroes and remind them how deeply their service is valued.
Representative Greg Stanton: It’s a great day to be an American. Tens of millions of Americans exercised their right to vote and demanded change. Now it’s time to restore checks and balances and get to work lowering costs for families.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.
