In 2014, I grabbed a shovel alongside the late Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor to break ground on ASU Law’s new home in downtown Phoenix.
Now it's celebrating 10 years of training Arizona’s next generation of lawyers and leaders. Happy anniversary, @ASUCollegeOfLaw!
Grand Canyon. Saguaro. Petrified Forest. Now, Chiricahua.
I was proud to back the bipartisan bill that made Chiricahua America’s 64th national park, preserving its towering rock spires and rich Apache heritage for generations to come.
FEMA’s chief just told states they should prepare to handle more natural disasters on their own.
As the lead Democrat on @TransportDems overseeing @FEMA, I’ve exposed how Trump gutted the agency & diverted resources to ICE enforcement.
Now, he wants to cut it back even more.
In AZ, that could mean even less search & rescue or recovery assistance for families after wildfires, storms, & floods.
We can’t afford to abandon families when they need help most. Congress needs to pass our bipartisan FEMA Act to make sure communities get disaster assistance quickly, efficiently & fairly.

Groveling before a war criminal is unconscionable.
Putin has masterminded the slaughter of thousands of Ukrainian civilians.
He is not a humanitarian—no amount of shameless flattery will change that.
Congratulations to Dr. Judy Aldrich, Shrinithi Shaurya, David Gil, & @TheArcOfTempe on being honored with @TempeCommunity’s Don Carlos Humanitarian Award.
Named for Tempe’s founder, the awards celebrate those who show up for one another & make Tempe a better place. Thank you to every honoree for all you do to support young people & neighbors in need across our community.

I’m honored to earn another 100% score from @HRC on their Congressional Scorecard.
As mayor, I led in taking Phoenix from 70% to a 100% score on their Municipal Equality Index by expanding LGBTQ+ rights.
I brought that same fight with me to Washington.
I’ll keep standing with advocates across the country, because we can never accept anything less than equality for every American.
A 30% cut to our Colorado River water is already a heavy lift for Arizona families, farmers, and businesses. Going deeper isn’t an option.
Joining Nevada’s lawsuit sends a clear message: Arizona will do its share, but we refuse to take on disproportionate cuts.

Thank you, @RepGregStanton, for helping us kick off our first food pantry at @MesaVFW! Together with @UnitedFoodBank and our amazing volunteers, we served 45 households and 113+ neighbors on day one. We'll be back every month.
Great morning this weekend at @MesaVFW helping @WillowOakAllian kick off its first-ever food pantry and hand out groceries to our neighbors in need.
Mesa veterans and families now have a new place to turn for help thanks to David Friend, Commander Chitwood, and @UnitedFoodBank volunteers.
I was a leader in the House in passing the CHIPS and Science Act, which has turned AZ into a global technology and manufacturing hub.
Companies are now investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build America’s semiconductor industry right here in the Valley.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Arizona until 9 PM MST
ALT This graphic displays Severe Thunderstorm watch number 689 plotted on a map. The watch is in effect until 9:00 PM MST. The watch includes parts of Arizona.

There are 5,003,542 people in the watch along with 1416 schools and 63 hospitals.
Chandler Flex is an essential part of getting around the city. It gets students to high school, seniors to their appointments, & workers to their jobs, all for just $2.
Thousands of residents count on it day in & day out. That's why I worked in Congress to bring home $1 million to expand Flex to more of the community.
It was great celebrating its success with @ChandlerAZMayor Hartke and @CityofChandler Council.

Proud to lead my colleagues in the @DemWomenCaucus, alongside @Rep_Grijalva and @RepGregStanton in condemning in the absolute strongest terms the grotesque attack and rape committed against Bernadette Greene-Placentia.
No candidate for office should ever have to fear for their safety because they chose to participate in our democracy.

“We're not going to be intimidated.”
@RepGregStanton says he’ll keep doing his job after a suspicious letter addressed to his Mesa office was intercepted before delivery. Letters were also sent to fellow Arizona Democrats Yassamin Ansari and Adelita Grijalva.
Stanton praised the FBI and Homeland Security for protecting his staff, who handle incoming mail. “They’re really the ones most at risk.”

Honored to join Arizona’s Indian American community on Sunday for Bathukamma, a flower festival from the state of Telangana. We also celebrated the AZ Telangana Association’s 21st anniversary with Sen. Priya Sundareshan and @MayorGallego.
Bathukamma Shubhakankshalu!

A potential storm is arriving in the state tomorrow. You know what to do:
🛞 Check tires and wiper blades before going out.
📷 Turn on headlights.
📷 Avoid flooded roads & washes.
High impact weather continues to look likely Wed-Thu. A Flood Watch is in effect across much of SC/E AZ. In addition, isolated strong to severe storms leading to damaging winds, large hail, and even a very small chance (<5%) of an isolated tornado will be possible. #azwx

Congressional Republicans seem more worried about showing loyalty to Trump than protecting our democracy.
@RepGregStanton explains.
This weekend, the FBI Phoenix Field Office and the AZ Department of Homeland Security informed me, @RepYassAnsari, & @Rep_Grijalva that suspicious letters had been sent to our offices.
Similar letters, many containing unknown substances, have been mailed to elected officials across the country. The FBI and @USPIS_HQ are investigating.
We're grateful to law enforcement for acting quickly and keeping our staff and communities safe. We will not be intimidated, and we'll keep doing the work that Arizonans elected us to do.
