Yesterday I heard from veterans across Northern Arizona and Flagstaff. They’re scared of the uncertainty. They’re done with Elon Musk and his DOGE boys firing their friends and gutting the services they earned. I’ll keep fighting this anti-veteran administration every step of the way.

I’m hearing from Head Start programs across Arizona. Some can’t make payroll because of budget cuts. Republicans are taking money from our kids to give it to billionaires. That’s the agenda.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 18(source)
While Republicans try to rip healthcare from working families, we’re holding town halls in places they ignore. Thank you, Yavapai Apache Nation and Yavapai County for showing up and speaking out. I’m with you—and I’m not backing down.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 18(source)
22,000 Arizonans are at risk of losing addiction treatment. Not because we can't afford it—but because Republicans would rather give that money to billionaires. We’re not letting that happen without a fight.

🚨Big week for Arizona manufacturing 💥AMD starting chip production in AZ for AI servers 💥NVIDIA using Arizona-made chips for U.S. AI supercomputers That’s the CHIPS Act in action. Tariff tantrums don’t bring jobs back. Smart investment does.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 17(source)
Tomatoes are about to get a lot more expensive. Trump just announced he’s going to put a special tax on tomatoes. That’s bad news for your grocery budget. I’m demanding the administration reverses this. Arizona families can’t afford it.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 16(source)
"I’m too old for this. I just really want to be retired." That’s what one Arizonan said after watching her savings get rocked by Trump’s chaos economy. Our seniors worked hard their whole lives. They deserve to retire with peace of mind.

We ended in London, where I spoke at Chatham House about the threats posed by Russia and China—and how the U.S. must continue leading alongside our allies to meet the moment and shape the future of global security.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 16(source)
I also sat down with German finance and defense ministers to discuss tariffs, defense spending, and how we can work together to keep the global economy strong and our democracies secure. And I spoke with some incredible U.S. Marines serving in Europe.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 16(source)
In Slovakia, I met with the Prime Minister to discuss the importance of standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine. I returned to Nesvady—where I once taught English—and met with leaders of the Slovak Jewish community to talk about the urgent fight against rising antisemitism.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 16(source)
🧵Just wrapped a bipartisan trip to Europe. We met with allies, defense officials, and diplomatic partners to reaffirm our shared commitment to security, democracy, and stability across the globe.
Senator Ruben Gallego@gallego.senate.govApr 16(source)
Arizona’s small and Tribal police departments don’t have massive budgets or endless backup — but they show up every day to protect our communities. I’m backing the bipartisan Invest to Protect Act of 2025 to get them the resources they need to keep Arizona safe.
