Congress – do the right thing for DACA
Rather than going it alone, Democrats and Republicans must find common ground and enshrine protection for Dreamers into legislation, rather than relying on executive order. In doing so, Congress can show Americans that they can act as humanitarians rather than strategists, cast division aside, and do the right thing. Our Dreamers are counting on it!
Adult high school breaks cycle of poverty
There’s no reason why Arizona can’t experience similar success with The Excel Center model. Like Indiana, there are more than 720,000 Arizona adults who deserve the same chance to complete their high school education.
Raising taxes slows projects needed for recovery
I encourage our lawmakers to work with their colleagues across the aisle to pass a package that supports long-term investment and growth in Arizona. This is the time to put our communities and job creators first.
We’ve waited long enough for rural broadband

In short, building in rural areas is costly and takes time. That is why we need to prioritize utilizing limited federal dollars to target unconnected communities with all available technologies.

Waiving intellectual property rights for Covid vaccine unsafe, will stifle innovation
Intellectual property protections are the foundation for ongoing efforts to provide timely and essential Covid protection.
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.
