Amish Shah Apparently Voted For Donald Trump. That’s Disqualifying
Dr. Shah’s vote for Trump coupled with his votes in the legislature against women and his past registration as a Republican means we can’t trust him as our Congressman in CD1.
K-12 funding formula antiquated, students lose
It is time for Arizona school finance reform to modernize the funding formula and equalize funding for all students, regardless of which public school they attend. Arizona’s public district and charter schools deserve nothing less.
Arizona’s aluminum extruders fight China, others to survive
On a level playing field, American extruders cannot be beaten. But this can be realized only when foreign countries adhere to fair trade practices, refraining from undercutting American manufacturers through dumping and subsidies. The U.S. government must intervene to safeguard American jobs and ensure a fair marketplace for all.
New power plant standards will impact generations to come
As with all forms of progress, we can expect opponents to come out of the woodwork and attack these new standards, essentially to protect the interests of big polluters. As a lifelong environmental activist and mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, I am doing all that I can to ensure that the generations that come behind me are able to lead happy and healthy lives.
We Must Defend Medicaid for Arizona Veterans
In the wealthiest nation on earth, no one should have to risk their lives because they can’t afford the care they need, least of all those who made sacrifices to serve this country. Just as our Arizona Vets defended us, we must defend them by protecting the Medicaid services that are vital to them.
Awareness without action keeps foster system the same
Foster care means so much, but we cannot forget that each number, each statistic, represents a life and a face, a life that deserves to have dreams and a bright future waiting for them when they turn 18. With each person who steps in to help, we can rewrite what awaits these children and youth, one life at a time.
Congress must block new labor rule that threatens entrepreneurship, innovation
Freelancers like me are small business owners and entrepreneurs who contribute to the economy and culture of innovation. We need policies that support our independence, not bureaucratic meddling under the guise of protection.
EPA short-circuits the U.S. power grid
When electricity rationing, soaring power prices, and blackouts come, there shouldn’t be any confusion over who is to blame. The warnings couldn’t have been any clearer. This is a self-made crisis and the buck stops with the Biden EPA.
For Arizonans, the need to pass extension of broadband affordability program is urgent
Saving this program should be based on what has become known: Internet connection is critical in an increasingly digital society. If Congress fails to act, families and children will be left behind—and in the dark.
Budget needs an ounce of oral health prevention
Luckily, nearly all dental diseases are preventable with the right care and attention. This is a problem we can solve, and covering comprehensive dental care in AHCCCS is a smart move for our state.
Seeking balance between flexibility, certainty in water policy
Given appropriate and relatively predictable conservation requirements, coupled with programs that promote and reward voluntary conservation, and flexibility in water rights to allow for rural economies to adapt to the future, our rural communities will continue to be vibrant and successful for a long time to come.
Keep your charitable donations for homeless cats and dogs local
Arizona is home to countless local, regional, and state groups that effectively help homeless cats and dogs. These are the organizations animal lovers should be donating to rather than the ASPCA or Humane Society of the United States if they want to truly make a difference for pet shelters in their community.
