Pass the PRO Act to demand more for all workers
The PRO Act expands the power of the employee and does not by any means limit the economic growth of American businesses. In fact, it improves it. A company that values its workers and the most vulnerable population groups among them can only prosper and grow.
Congress needs to focus on the real issues
I hope lawmakers will reject being distracted by any legislation or initiatives that will take their attention away from the most pressing issues facing communities today. When lawmakers make their way back to Washington after this recess, we hope they will hit the ground running and focus on what is important.
Small businesses need a paid leave program
We have a unique opportunity to learn from the lesson the pandemic has taught us about how difficult it is to manage unexpected employee absences without a plan. Let’s put that plan into place. For the first time in my lifetime, we’re on the precipice of guaranteeing that we won’t lose our jobs or miss a paycheck just because we or a loved one gets sick, or if we choose to have a child.
Wanted – a Senate candidate to tackle immigration
With the U.S. Senate now split 50-50 along partisan lines, gaining a new voice for sensible immigration reform could make a real difference to federal policy – and thankfully, we have an opportunity to gain such a voice as soon as next year.

Our children are worth the investment. Students should be able to get to and from school without being forced to inhale dangerous exhaust fumes every day. It’s not only critical for their health, but critical for their academic success.
Influx of Californians threatens to alter Arizona
I see it as my duty to challenge those who would attempt to alter the conditions that made my beloved Arizona a place worth living.
We need energy reliability and affordability, not power outages
Americans have been hoping for economic recovery and a return to normalcy. Instead, they’re experiencing ongoing pandemic concerns and the ravages of wildfires and hurricanes. And adding to their woes, they’re now increasingly worried that the electricity grid on which they depend could fail when they need it most.
Future hinges on new energy infrastructure
The U.S. energy market is changing more rapidly and dramatically than anyone would have predicted. A steep decline in the price of solar-generated electricity, combined with the rising cost of coal and gas-fired electricity, has turned energy economics on its head. This is particularly true here in the Southwest.
Let’s look into Sen. Fann’s complicity to prolong no-win situation
