Let’s not celebrate Black History Month without talking mental health
It would be a disservice to highlight Black History Month without also shedding light on the mental health crisis that continues to disproportionately impact minority communities, especially African Americans.
LGBTQ youth represent disproportionate number of homeless
The Legislature must begin to create and pass legislation that is specifically focused on alleviating issues faced by homeless youth, specifically LGBTQ homeless youth. They must also attempt to address the root causes that lead to such a disproportionate amount of queer youth living on the street.
Don’t penalize smokers for trying to quit
Instead of penalizing communities, let’s meet people where they are and break down the barriers that stand in the way of access to healthier, safer alternatives to smoking.
HopeTech could change lives of former foster kids
HopeTech will open with 16 students to start and will eventually house 64 students. But that’s only the beginning. EVIT and Arizona’s other Career Technical Education Districts are uniquely set up to provide students with relevant, hands-on learning that leads to certifications and jobs. If HopeTech is successful – and I fervently believe that it will be – it could become a model for CTEDs[...]
Intellectual Property Heist by the Biden Administration Could Jeopardize Treatment Access for Arizona Patients
To continue being at the forefront of the latest advancements in health care, technology, and more, the federal government must protect strong IP rights that foster continued innovation. The legacy of Bayh-Dole and the vision of pioneers like my father hang in the balance to protect the future of American innovation and economic competitiveness, and local industries in Arizona.

Arizona leaders can help solve US debt crisis
Arizona and other states must now step up and demand that Congress set the time and place for such a convention as required under Article V.

A contrast in philosophy regarding today’s key issues
Which candidate is forthright and concerned about the needs of you and your family, and which candidate talks the talk but votes NO on major topics of concern?
Delta-8 is the New Spice and K2 – Literally
The belief that Congress inadvertently legalized cannabis is a fallacy and ignores what federal regulators have said ever since the Farm Bill’s passage. Neither the DEA nor the FDA recognizes these substances as lawful, dismissing any such claims as a mere pipe dream. It’s time we start treating unregulated forms of these drugs for what they are - a public health crisis waiting to happen.
Smart step toward ending boating tragedies
Now is the time for Arizona to demonstrate its commitment to the well-being of its citizens and the integrity of its outdoor recreation industry. By adopting HB2149, Arizona can proudly join the ranks of states that prioritize the safety of their waterways.
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.
