Rep. Cook looks out for LD8 cities, towns
We wish to make it perfectly clear to all of our municipal residents: We stand with Representative Cook in protecting our public safety budgets and bringing funding to Pinal County to help mitigate our state’s long term water shortage.
PRO Act hurts workers, threatens economic recovery
All the PRO Act would do is help union leaders increase membership numbers by infringing on the rights of employees as well as employers. Taking away employee choice on whether to join a union, how much a union takes out of their paycheck, what happens to their private data, and whether they even have a job is not the answer.
Where Arizonans agree, leaders should follow
Seven in ten Arizonans are proud to call this state home. And three in four Arizonans are willing to speak with others who hold different views in order to work through issues. This is a wonderful foundation on which to come together to create change.
We’re all lucky for Biden, Sinema, Kelly
We're seeing the end of the pandemic approach faster than we expected thanks to President Biden and the American Rescue Plan.
Biden’s infrastructure goals a power grab
Real infrastructure doesn’t take years to build. As many European governments (and more recently China, much to our detriment) have demonstrated, infrastructure can be built in months, weeks or even days.
Helping youth overcome stress, become leaders

Arizonans deserve better budget after difficult year
Budgets are moral documents. They show what we value and prioritize as a state. Both of us stand ready to work together with our legislative colleagues and the Governor on a responsible budget that puts all Arizonans first.
Grand Canyon U. launches partnership to help needy
I get excited about a lot of things that are happening at Grand Canyon University, but I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as I am about the potential of our new partnership with CityServe.
New election bill could make criminals out of voters
If this bill passes, any absentee voter in Arizona who signs their ballot sloppily and fails to fix the error after Election Day could find themselves caught up in a criminal investigation. This would be a discriminatory burden on senior citizens, disabled voters, students, and people of color.
Don’t California my Arizona livelihood
The PRO Act is a solution in search of a problem. Independent workers and freelancers are not asking to be full-time employees. When they were reclassified as such in California, they overwhelmingly voted to opt out and create a third way that preserved their independence and flexibility. Let’s heed their example and don’t “California'' the rest of the nation.
