Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick

Congresswoman representing Arizona's 2nd District, but my grandchildren call me "Mumsy!"

Everyone should have the freedom to make the personal health care decisions that impact their lives, health, and futures.

I saw what it was like before Roe v. Wade, we cannot go back.

#Arizona will be receiving over $42M from the #BIL to tackle PFAS contaminants in our water. #Tucson has been a leader in cleaning and remediating PFAS from our water. This is a direct investment in our community and for future generations.

12 years ago today, I was meeting my constituents at a local Safeway.

Then everything changed.

Six people were shot & killed: Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy Morris, Judge John Roll, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard, Gabe Zimmerman. I was shot in the head. 12 more were injured.

As I hand over the keys to the next congressman, I hope you’ll carry on your contributions and dedication to our community and continue making a difference because together, step by step, it all adds up to progress. My full farewell letter to Arizona:

Thank you! Your such strong leader and advocate for Tucson, you’ve helped expand the opportunities!

[Regina Romero @TucsonRomero]

Thank you @RepKirkpatrick for supporting investments that will be felt by #Tucsonans for years to come. These will improve pedestrian and bike paths, support our unhoused neighbors, protect our communities from #climatechange, and revitalize spaces that bring us all together.

Oh boy, this is bittersweet. My final LTE as a Member of Congress.

"As I reflect on my nearly two decades representing Arizonans and prepare for my retirement, I feel immensely grateful for the opportunities and successes we have had along the way..."

2022, another year for the books. The final year of my time in Congress & huge victories as Arizona’s Appropriator:

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

Local Journalism matters

[Michael Barbaro @mikiebarb]

To everyone asking why reporters didn't dig up the George Santos story before the election ... a fair question .... ask yourself when you last paid for your local newspaper, like Newsday on Long Island, which covers it day in and out.

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

I introduced the TEACH Act to support our educators & increase teacher retention. This bill authorizes a study of the impact COVID-19 had on educators & establishes a grant program to implement and improve wellness programs for school employees. https://t.co/STVFeTECZR

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

I started my career as an educator and as I prepare for retirement, I’m satisfied knowing the last piece of legislation I introduced in Congress will support our nation's educators, and I am hopeful that my colleagues will continue the work to support our nation's educators. 1/2

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

Today there are 567,000 fewer educators in public schools than there were pre pandemic. Educators deserve the resources they need to provide the best education, the TEACH Act will support our nation’s educators by promoting teacher well-being and reducing educator stress. 2/3

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

From the depths of the COVID pandemic, our historic American Rescue Plan put:
🩹Shots in arms
💵Money in pockets
🏫Children in schools
🛠People in jobs

It’s true, @RepGregStanton was instrumental in keeping this a top priority for the admin. Proud of his unwavering commitment to keeping Arizonans safe. Good representation matters.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

.@POTUS, @SecBlinken & @RepGregStanton should be commended in their work to help secure her release. Congress stands firmly with the Administration as they continue working to secure the release of Paul Whelan & other Americans unjustly detained in Russia. https://t.co/jZRta1VII2

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

As a member representing a robust defense district, I understand the importance of investing in what makes America strong: our service members, innovation, technology & our alliances. I’m proud to vote, contribute and deliver direct AZ wins in the #FY23NDAA

[Regina Romero @TucsonRomero]

Today we celebrate love and the right to marry who YOU choose!
THANK YOU @SenatorSinema @SenMarkKelly @RepRaulGrijalva @RepKirkpatrick and our other Arizona leaders for taking this important action.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
#RespectForMarriage

[Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick @RepKirkpatrick]

No one should be discriminated against because of who they love. We can't take anything for granted w/ this MAGA Supreme Court threatening our freedoms; Congress must act. I'm proud to vote for #RespectForMarriageAct, which strengthens the rights of millions under federal law.
