Dad, husband and former Phoenix mayor now proudly serving AZ-04 in Congress. ☀️🌵 Member of @TransportDems @HouseForeign @CmteonCCPDems & @NewDemCoalition.
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.
As the industry continues to grow, I'm working to secure significant funding for STEM education and workforce development to connect the community to these good jobs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Financial literacy opens doors to college, entrepreneurship, and homeownership.
I spoke to @GemMiddleSchool students about smart money management to kick off a fun Financial Soccer event with @USWNT legend @JulieErtz.
Thanks for having me during AZ Credit Union Week!
Mesa sounded great this weekend!
Stopped by @MesaMusicFest today with Councilmember Duff (@MesaDistrict4) this weekend. From up-and-coming bands to food trucks and local art, it was great seeing the community out supporting our artists.
Thank you to the librarians, staff, and card holders who have made the system a cornerstone of the community and set it up to serve Mesa for generations to come.
Happy 120th birthday, @MesaLibrary!
Libraries give kids the confidence to read, the freedom to explore, and the tools to chase their dreams. They’re also a lifeline for our community, helping job seekers find work, getting neighbors online, and bringing people together.
