Every federal worker deserves to get paid, not just the ones Republicans pick and choose.
That’s why I’m co-sponsoring Senator Peters's bill to make sure ALL federal employees are paid back during this GOP shutdown.
923,000 Arizonans rely on SNAP to put food on the table.
This administration could stop millions from losing those benefits during their own shutdown. But instead, they’re sitting on billions in funding and letting people go hungry. I’m demanding USDA act now.
WTF. These people are not well
Happy Phoenix Pride! This weekend Arizonans came together to celebrate love and the LGBTQ+ community that makes our state stronger.

Trump is selling out American farmers to help elite investors and foreign friends.
Fathers like Steve just want the best for their kids. Republicans MUST extend the ACA tax credits.

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.
This is unacceptable.
Without ACA tax credits, a 62-year-old in Arizona with one dependent would pay $707 more each month for the LOWEST-cost health insurance plan.
Congress must act. Families can’t afford this hike.
My staff put me to the test and had me guess songs from my Hispanic Heritage Month playlist. Check it out!
Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and honor Arizona’s 22 federally recognized tribes.
Their history, heritage, and culture are vital to the story of our state and our country.
I’m not going to stand by while Mike Johnson lies to the American public, refuses to seat Adelita Grijalva, and protects pedophiles. I’ll keep calling him out. Loudly.
Trump handed over $20 billion of your tax dollars to bail out Argentina’s president while cutting health care for millions of Americans. #AmericaFirst
Was great to catch up with my friend Rep. French Hill. Thanks for making the trek to the Senate side!
If Republicans don’t act 24 million Americans will be devastated by sky rocketing health care costs.
Speaker Johnson needs to call his people back and stop covering up for pedophiles.
I was honored to meet with Ukrainian Ambassador Olga Stefanishyna today.
We will continue to stand with Ukraine and provide them the support they need to defend their freedom and defeat Russian aggression.
Ran into Speaker Johnson and told him exactly how I feel about Republicans shutting down the government to protect pedophiles and jack up health care costs for 24 million Americans.
Hey Juan, I got your letter. Let us know when you’re ready to come back to D.C. and actually work. I'll be here fighting to protect Arizonans' health care.
Today I was in Globe and Miami to survey the damage from last week’s flooding, talk with families and small business owners, and thank the first responders helping with recovery.
These communities are resilient and I’ll do everything I can to help them get back on their feet.
