Reconciliation bill not about climate
On September 10, when progressive activists and legislators held a rally in support of the Democratic budget proposal, also known as the reconciliation bill, their message was clear –passing the reconciliation bill was not only an important step in the fight against climate change, but a necessary one. They couldn’t be more wrong.
Rep. Frank Pratt’s legacy
There are numerous examples of why Rep. Pratt’s service positively impacted the lives of so many. While he will receive praise from many throughout the state, Rep. Pratt would be more satisfied with knowing he had made a real difference for hundreds of thousands of Arizonans who may never know his name.
We need to build back better for Arizona
In October 2020, candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made their first joint campaign appearance at the Southwest Carpenters Training Center in Phoenix. During this appearance, Biden spoke about the importance of labor unions, and highlighted the benefits of having an “army of carpenters” supporting him. We were behind him then, and we are now.
Trump voter to Sinema: Pass legislation for Covid recovery
As someone with three degrees who built a successful nursing career over 28 years, I never expected to find myself in the situation I’m in now: working part time and struggling to pay my bills.
Action needed on climate change to protect tourism, agriculture
Government action to prevent these fires on public land and to follow up and restore after these fires is completely insufficient. Climate change is not a theoretical debate where we live because it affects our lives every day. Our rural communities are all close neighbors with the National Forests that surround us and we need action from our government representatives to address climate cha[...]
Prescription Drug Solutions Overdue, Sinema and Kelly Must Act
During my time as an elected official in Arizona, I have heard anecdotes about impossible decisions families are forced to make due to out-of-control prescription drug costs. Horrible choices like deciding to buy critical medications or paying the rent, buying groceries, or paying the utility bill. This is a choice no one living in a country as prosperous as American should ever have to make. [...]
Choice to wear masks in school can come down to pimples or public health
Unlike online school, masks do not hinder learning, heighten teen suicide, or make disadvantaged students fall behind. But the Governor and Legislature seemed much less concerned about helping schools open back then than they are about imposing mask restrictions now.
Drop them out the window
The perpetrators care nothing about the woman’s life nor the life of the child once born. They refuse to fund prenatal care, maternity care, postnatal care, child care, medical care, early education, housing, or food. It’s not reverence for life that is motivating these actions; it’s reverence for power.
Watch Out: Biden Wants Your Private Financial Data
The Biden administration has taken its big government overreach right into the heart of each state across America. The liberal, progressive agenda is growing reliance on government, while forcing Americans to leave behind their individual liberties, including their right to privacy.
Expand Coolidge Generating Station for reliability
Providing reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy in today’s environment is complex. But one thing is clear – we need to keep power flowing when we need it most.
Covid fear masks international, border disasters
Sadly, continuing the fear of Covid and need for masks must be maintained by the political Left to obscure the disasters internationally and at our border. It has never been about science.
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.
