Arizona tax credit empowers communities
The Arizona Tax Credit has proven to be a catalyst for positive change, allowing it to thrive and serve the community with even greater impact. As we move forward, let us continue to support and champion this program, recognizing its role in shaping a healthier and more vibrant future for Arizona. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Let’s allow innovative technologies, funding address housing shortage
“A housing market that meets the needs of workers and families is a foundation for economic development, financial stability, and wealth building opportunities.” Those are qualities of a healthy community. It’s time to get creative, break out of the traditional mode of single-use facilities, and allow innovative technologies and funding to address our structural housing supply shortages.
Hobbs, Legislature should remember pharmacy benefits helps all
As this year continues, we hope that Hobbs and our legislators will stand on the side of small businesses and hardworking Arizona families. That means rejecting any proposals that would limit pharmacy benefits and increase health care costs for all of us.
Proposed health care policies could overregulate free market
We look forward to a successful 2024 legislative session and encourage legislators from both parties to find solutions that benefit all Arizonans and help our economy grow rather than taking sides and crippling a competitive, robust marketplace.
Foster children must be included in sex-trafficking conversation
So, for those who now understand the harsh realities facing Arizona’s foster youth, how will this past month of awareness be different from years past? Will it spark action and lasting momentum? Or simply evoke emotions that ultimately get waved away. Awareness is nothing more than empty knowledge if it never moves from thought to action, and ultimately, into change.
Funding Quality Child Care for Arizonans Makes Sense and “Cents”
It's clear to see that funding quality child care for Arizonans makes sense developmentally for young learners and makes ‘cents’ for the state’s economic growth. When Arizona’s child care works, Arizona works.
GOP will present responsible budget that Hobbs should sign
Like last year, the Republican majority will submit a responsible, balanced budget which spends within our means and prioritizes the needs of our citizens while eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. Hobbs ought to sign that proposal, and not repeat the same billion-dollar mistake.
Engaging the broader electorate in 2024
Let’s focus this election on the concerns that are most important to the vast majority of voters and bring the people of Arizona together to achieve the full potential of our state.
Allowing psychologists to prescribe drugs would endanger us
This bill is touted as a way to increase mental health access to Arizonans but it will have the opposite effect. We and thirteen other medical organizations thus believe that prescription pads must stay out of the hands of psychologists.
Congress needs to reject Credit Card Competition Act
Congress needs to oppose the Credit Card Competition Act. The bill is a cash grab by greedy corporations, and it’s going to hurt our tourism industry without benefiting everyday Arizonans.
14 years after Citizens United, Arizona leads the way, but our democracy demands more
I support constitutional reform through the For Our Freedom Amendment. The Amendment will allow states and Congress to set reasonable limits on campaign spending, restore checks and balances, and finally end the pay-to-play political system we are living through. Simply stated: It will put ‘we the people’ first.
New regulations threaten Arizona’s renewable energy industry
This regulation, despite its good intentions, will derail the utility companies’ current progress, pass costs on to consumers and likely result in a slower switch to renewable sources. With the three largest utility companies in the state already demonstrating progress in decarbonizing, it doesn’t make sense for the government to tell them how they should do so.
