Renewable energy makes Arizona stronger
I’m hopeful that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and other Arizona leaders support clean energy. Renewable energy is ready today and is creating the jobs of the future – it’s a great time for all Arizonans to get on board!
AZ relationship with water changed forever
Arizona promotes itself as a world leader in water management. Yet rural wells and rivers are drying up since sustainable water management plans are hindered by laws no longer appropriate for these times. Our relationship with desert water has changed, and our water laws must change too.
Agribusiness focuses on drought, not climate change
The Colorado River water shortages should not define Arizona agriculture as much as they should trigger changes toward a more resilient food system that we have needed all along. Let’s now jumpstart them in a bold manner.
Sinema must support clean energy investments in Build Back Better Act
Sinema campaigned on a pledge to work hard every day to deliver for Arizona families. By leveraging her position as a key vote in the Senate, now is her chance to guarantee decades of economic prosperity and sustainable, good-paying jobs for all residents in the state.
Medicare Advantage builds stronger, healthier communities
Because of the difference Medicare Advantage made in my life, I have grown dedicated to promoting health care for all Arizonans, particularly seniors who face health vulnerabilities. Medicare Advantage can be the difference in allowing an individual to receive lifesaving treatment.
Arizona needs Sinema’s climate leadership
Senator Sinema: please do everything you can to fully fund and pass the bold climate action policies we need in this bill as swiftly as possible.
Build Back Better good for working families
We have a chance to put hardworking families first. Families continue to struggle to stay afloat. We need an economy that doesn’t punish families for caring for sick family members or crush families with prescription drug costs. And we can do all of this in a way that helps Arizona businesses flourish.
No open enrolment for special needs kids
As parents to children with disabilities, we must constantly fight to make sure our children are seen and heard. Luckily, the Arizona Legislature made necessary changes to the open-enrollment laws to prevent discrimination against children with disabilities.
Lowering drug prices can stifle innovation
We should be looking to put patients first, and all stakeholders should come together, including insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, to create solutions so patients can get the treatment they deserve at prices they can afford.
Arizona members of Congress: fund home care now
But while the need for home care is great, acquiring services is out of reach for too many. Across the United States, almost a million people sit on the waiting lists for Medicaid’s home care program, in danger of being forced to live in unsafe nursing institutions, where 133,000 disabled Americans have died from Covid during the pandemic.
Congress must protect Arizona’s local news
Congress should be commended for carrying Sen. Sinema’s mantle of protecting local news by supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act. Let’s hope that the number of members standing up for local news continues to grow.
Expanding child tax credit is essential
unless Congress takes action, many Arizona families will continue to find themselves strapped under extreme economic strain and pressure. Our congressional leaders and senators have the power to alleviate pandemic hardship and put more Arizona families on the path to financial freedom by making the Child Tax Credit permanent.
