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.   

With the U.S. Senate now split 50-50 along partisan lines, gaining a new voice for sensible immigration reform could make a real difference to federal policy – and thankfully, we have an opportunity to gain such a voice as soon as next year. 

Two of the Republicans hoping to take on U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly next year have come out against letting Afghan refugees resettle in the U.S.    

Arizona lawmakers and advocates said they were “blindsided” by the U.S. Forest Service’s abrupt announcement this week that it would halt negotiations on a proposed extension of the Four Forest Restoration Initiative. 

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, our country needs to find that same sense of national unity we once had.

The PRO Act will remove the many obstacles keeping workers from their right to join a union and ensure those newly-formed bargaining units reach a first contract. It will also eliminate anti-worker “right-to-work” laws, helping to boost wages and make safer workplaces across the nation. The PRO Act is the labor law reform that has been desperately needed for decades.

The fate of a sweeping bill to strengthen unions and weaken right-to-work laws in Arizona and elsewhere could be decided by the state's two Democratic senators.

Destroying the filibuster may seem like a quick fix to pass legislation now, but as power shifts across parties and leadership, it will ultimately be counterproductive and lead to unhealthy and constant reversal of policies.

Arizona can’t let the child care crisis go on any longer. We need Congress to support our communities and invest in our children, families, and child care providers.

The bill is saving lives, and there is always more work to be done. I’m confident and thankful that President Biden, Senator Kelly, and Democrats in Congress have our backs and will continue to deliver better outcomes for the disability community.
