Troopers grateful for funding, more is needed
Next year, we will continue to ask the governor and legislators for small investments to ensure the public is protected adequately by troopers around Arizona.
Pro Act threatens small business recovery
The PRO Act currently has 47 cosponsors in the United States Senate. Arizonans should be proud that Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly are not among those 47.
Congress should reject tax hike on families, business
It is now incumbent on Congress to stand up for utility ratepayers across the nation and say “no” to indirect tax hikes on our families and small businesses. I urge Arizona’s Senators to vote “no” on any unjust and unreasonable increase to the U.S. corporate tax rate.
Arizonans know future they want for ‘Arid-zona’
Just how large a human footprint can the Southwest accommodate, and for how long? Rank-and-file Arizonans seem to have a better grasp of ecological and economic realities than their leaders. We should look to them for answers, and not to our reality-blind politicians.
Driving forward for clean air, climate action in Phoenix
While the previously outlined Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework may be a necessary step toward passing a major climate bill, it does not go far enough in addressing air pollution and the climate crisis.

Contact Sinema, Kelly; support the PRO Act
The future of your right to organize depends entirely on you and your fellow Arizonans. The PRO Act is in danger of failing because of representatives like Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, who have outright refused to support the bill.
Wanted — water infrastructure funding
It is going to be a tough year for many of our water users and the communities they support. We’ll continue our efforts to ensure their voices are heard and that farmers, ranchers and water purveyors keep playing a vital role in supporting the basic needs of their communities.
Proposed Biden policy invokes big ‘why?’
Not only is it crucial that we preserve this $108B segment of the U.S. economy, but it isn’t necessary to relinquish the IP around Covid vaccines to accomplish the goal of increasing vaccine availability
Step up Sinema – abolish the filibuster
But with the filibuster, S1 has no chance of passing. It’s simple: every day Sinema drags her feet on eliminating the filibuster — and every day that fellow Democrats and Biden don’t pressure her to change course — is a day our elected representatives are choosing decorum over democracy.
What does Fourth of July mean to women?
In 1917, women asked, "Mr. President, How Long Must Women Wait for Liberty?" 104 years and counting. As Douglass said, so long as inequality persists, “America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.”
