Arizona has planned responsibly for its water future for decades and remains well positioned to support continued economic growth.

But we should not be asked to shoulder a disproportionate share of the Colorado River reductions.

Statement from @dbseiden on today's decision:

[Courtney Coolidge @CourtCoolidge]

We manufactured a win. 🏆

Proud of our team—and even prouder that our advocacy is making an impact far beyond Arizona: unlocking new investment, bringing critical supply chains home, strengthening America’s economy and protecting our national security. 🇺🇸

@AZchamber @AZManufacturing 👏 ⬇️

[Arizona Chamber @AZChamber]

We won! 🏆

The @AZChamber and @AZManufacturing are bringing home the 2026 COSMA Leadership Award for our work to support and strengthen manufacturing in Arizona.

From federal air-quality policy wins to building public support for new investment and advancing Arizona’s digital economy, we’ve covered a lot of ground. Excited to see our efforts earn some national recognition.

Thank you, @ShopfloorNAM and COSMA!

[Arizona Chamber @AZChamber]

Big shoutout from the @WhiteHouse today for Arizona manufacturing!

Phoenix-based Pivot Manufacturing was highlighted after a new @ShopFloorNAM report showed how tax certainty is helping manufacturers invest and grow. For Pivot, that means the biggest equipment purchase in company history, more machining capacity and room to take on more defense work.

Congrats to Steve Macias and the entire @pivotmfg team.

Congratulations to @Honeywell_Aero on officially launching today as a standalone company headquartered in Phoenix!

An exciting new chapter for an employer that has called Arizona home for nearly 100 years and another big win for our aerospace and defense industry.

Great visit with Swire Coca-Cola earlier this week to tour their facility, learn more about their manufacturing operations, and celebrate America250 🇺🇸 Thank you, @SwireCC!

SIGNED ✅

Thank you to @GovernorHobbs for signing HB 2693 to expand health coverage options for small businesses.

Sponsored by Rep. @Livingston4AZ, this legislation will help lower costs and provide more choices for job creators across the state - a big win for small business growth and Arizona’s economy 👏🏼 📈

[Courtney Coolidge @CourtCoolidge]

🚨TODAY! @AZHouseGOP & @AZHouseDems have the opportunity to vote for healthcare affordability options for AZ small businesses

🟢YES on HB 2693-a commonsense solution to give small business more options for health care coverage-reducing costs & expanding choices.

Help our small businesses compete by following an option nearly 30 other states are using successfully!👇

[Arizona Chamber @AZChamber]

Join us June 2 as we celebrate our 2026 Legislators of the Year at our Annual Awards Celebration.

As budget negotiations continue, @dbseiden says dismantling policies that have helped drive investment and job growth in Arizona would be a mistake.

Unlike many states, Arizona’s incentives are tied to clear benchmarks and only apply when companies deliver on jobs and investment. 🎥⬇️

[Courtney Coolidge @CourtCoolidge]

SB 1429 closes a clear gap in the local initiative process for out-of-state & paid circulators- NO changes for residents and volunteers.

Do you want transparency when out-of-state special interests are undoing local decisions & making lasting impacts to your community? That’s all SB 1429 does.

It’s not complicated, it’s common sense.

[Arizona Chamber @AZChamber]

HB 2693, sponsored by Rep. @Livingston4AZ, will allow more of Arizona’s small businesses to participate in health coverage plans that expand access to quality coverage and make comprehensive care more attainable.

We encourage the Senate to vote YES on HB 2963.
