Latinos in Arizona deserve the same chances at achieving success and living a healthy life as the rest of America. By voting for the Build Back Better Act, Senator Sinema would be ensuring a clean and safe environment and future for all Arizonians.

Arizona lawmakers split on party lines late Friday night as the House voted 228-206 to pass a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, giving final passage to a centerpiece of the Biden administration’s agenda. 

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.

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.

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. 

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 progressives are ramping up the pressure on U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, hoping to get her support for a federal budget bill that would make major expansions to the social safety net and raise spending on Democratic priorities.

If the Biden Administration and members of Congress want to ban menthol cigarettes, or increase tobacco taxes to fund the federal budget, they need to consider the consequences of their actions. Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly will soon have an opportunity to show real leadership, and should oppose these harmful policies.

I see it all over Mesa, and I see it among the members of my family: The Covid pandemic is a lot more than a health crisis. It’s also a financial crisis that has been taking a major toll on our community. 

To ensure an equitable and more sustainable future — one that creates good-paying jobs and opportunity for Arizonans — Senator Sinema should push for changes to the section 25D ITC in the budget reconciliation bill that would offer a direct pay option. The clean energy revolution cannot meet its full promise unless the pool of those who can participate is expanded.
