Tony Rivero

Arizona State Representative from District 27

[Steven George Law @SGLawAZ]

Signed into law! This bill allows judges to reclassify some Class 4, 5, or 6 felonies as Class 1 misdemeanors for qualifying first-time, non-violent, victimless offenses after they complete their sentence and remain crime-free for 5 years.

Expected to take effect in September or October and sunsets in 2028. Thank you for your work on this @RepTonyRivero !

May was a busy month at the Capitol. The Governor vetoed the Republican budget and unions are moving to restrict school choice for Arizona ESA families. Read my May newsletter for the full update. #AZLeg #ArizonaESA #EducationFreedom

[KTAR News 92.3 @KTAR923]

The Arizona Legislature unanimously passed a bill that could reclassify certain felony convictions as misdemeanors for first-time offenders. It now heads to the desk of Gov. Katie Hobbs. https://t.co/VyS9K4daI7

✅Rep. Tony Rivero’s Second Chance Bill Heads to Governor After Unanimous Passage

“HB 2749 is about accountability, redemption, and common sense. When someone commits a nonviolent, victimless offense, pays their debt, completes every requirement ordered by the court, and proves for years that they are living the right way, Arizona should not force that person to carry a felony label forever. This bill protects public safety, excludes victim crimes, and gives deserving people a fair chance to work, find housing, support their families, and fully rejoin their communities.” -@AZHouseGOP Rep. @RepTonyRivero, sponsor of HB 2749.

Interoperability saves lives. When first responders can communicate across agencies in real time, we give them every advantage. Great visit to @YavapaiSheriff and proud to champion this work in the Senate. Thank you to @MatthewGress for joining the tour! #SchoolSafety #AZLeg

[Chairman Walt Blackman LD7 Representative @BlackmanForAZ]

Thank you all for the incredible love, prayers, kind words, and support you have shown our family. We are truly humbled and grateful.

Many have asked how they can help. As we work through Daniel’s final expenses and obligations, we would be grateful if you would share our GoFundMe with your friends and family.

Your prayers, generosity, and support mean more to us than words can express. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time.

Statement from the Blackman Family on the Passing of Our Son, Daniel K. Blackman

It is with deep sorrow and broken hearts that our family shares the passing of our beloved son, Daniel K. Blackman.

Daniel was deeply loved and brought strength, laughter, joy, and love to all who knew him. He was a cherished son, brother, family member, and friend whose presence touched countless lives. His absence leaves an immeasurable void in our hearts.

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we find peace and comfort in the restored gospel and in the eternal promise that through Jesus Christ, death is not the end. Though we grieve deeply, our faith reminds us that families are forever and that we will see Daniel again.

During this incredibly difficult time, we respectfully ask for prayers, compassion, and privacy as our family mourns and prepares to honor Daniel’s life and memory.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Our family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, kindness, prayers, and support we have received.

Additional information regarding services or memorial arrangements will be shared at a later time.

With love and gratitude,
The Blackman Family

Every child learns differently. Every family knows their child best. That is why over 100,000 Arizona families have chosen ESAs — and why school choice will always be part of who we are as Arizonans. #AZLovesESAs #SchoolChoice #EducationFreedom

Katie Hobbs says her efficiency plan can save Arizona $100 million.

That’s a pittance when taxpayers may have watched $2.8 billion go out the door to sober-living fraudsters.

A simple data package could have found the fraud before the money went out.

Happy Mother’s Day to my wife Joyce, and all of the mothers in Arizona! I hope you all enjoy the day with your loved ones.

[AZ State Rep. Justin Wilmeth @JustinWilmethAZ]

Never take your mom for granted - wish her a Happy Mother’s Day today.

One day you won’t able to ever again and that will be for the rest of your life. The feeling is so hollow. I discovered that three years ago.

Give her a big hug, too.

Love you forever, like you for always, mom.

[Shawnna LM Bolick @ShawnnaLMBolick]

To all the moms, grandmothers, and mother figures: Thank you for the countless ways you make the world a better place. 🌺❤️

[Steve Montenegro @SteveMontenegro]

It's been six weeks since Hobbs walked away from budget negotiations.

Arizona families, schools, and small businesses deserve certainty, not delays.

The Arizona House Republican Majority is still at the Capitol. We have passed a responsible, balanced budget that supports our priorities: lowering costs, funding essential services, and protecting long-term stability.

Arizona cannot afford to wait any longer.

[Kevin Payne @KevinPayne4AZ]

Busy April at the Capitol. Working hard on the budget to make sure Arizona's priorities are funded and continuing to push legislation forward that supports our first responders and law enforcement. #PublicSafety #AZLeg

[Vince Leach @VinceLeach]

Well done, AZ House of Representatives! 👏👏👏

[Steve Montenegro @SteveMontenegro]

Will Gov. Hobbs Walk Away AGAIN From $1.45 Billion in Relief for Arizona Families?

[(((Rep.Alma Hernandez))) @almaforarizona]

Celebrated 33 & 34 with my favorite people 🌵👯‍♀️🏜👢🫶🏼

[Steve Montenegro @SteveMontenegro]

“The Republican proposal spends about $800 million less than what Hobbs is pushing.”

“Republicans want the full Trump tax package that’s in the president’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” That means a $1.4 billion income tax cut for Arizona workers over four years. The governor has proposed about half of that.”

“It funds the core services that Arizonans count on, and is grounded in honest numbers,”

Honored to host a group of Arizona's leading Hispanic Pastors. From protecting family values & fiscal responsibility to immigration reform, our goals are aligned. I look forward to working together to empower our communities and increase civic participation this election season!
