Ahead of National Gun Violence Awareness Day, Assistant Democratic Leader @repngutierrez and Rep. Aaron Marquez read a proclamation in honor of Hadiya Pendleton, who was killed at age 15 in 2013 and inspired the #WearOrange movement.
.@FlavioGBravo shares specific examples of how HCR 2016 could affect communities like @CottonwoodAZ that don't have property taxes and rely on reasonable rates and fees to maintain essential services and infrastructure.
❌It ties the hands of local leaders, blocking small, responsible adjustments over time and instead forcing large, sudden increases that burden residents.

I’m deploying $1.5 million in funds to food banks across the state to fill gaps for SNAP households seeking food. I'm also sending an additional $300,000 in funds to Food Bucks Now, a new emergency fresh food program.

@ElieNYC and I conversed on the #DNC2024 floor about our opportunity to flip the AZ legislature (flip 2 in each chamber for Dem trifecta!) - crucial as the US Sup Ct has removed federal protections of our freedoms.
Please spread word of our work @A_DLCC to your network, Elie!

Today, @GovernorHobbs made the right call and vetoed a dangerous bill that would have made our state less safe.
From Kingman to Tucson, Arizonans deserve to live without fear of gun violence.
I'm grateful that we have Gov. Hobbs to keep Arizona safe.

Together, @GovernorHobbs and I will continue to do what the voters of Arizona elected us to do — fight like hell to protect the rights of Arizonans to make their own private medical decisions without interference.
