👏 HB 2704 heads to the governor!
A huge thank-you to Rep. @JeffWeninger and the #AZLeg for advancing this important legislation.
This was a hard-fought, bipartisan effort that took real collaboration and compromise to get right.
The result: a fiscally responsible plan that keeps the @Dbacks in Arizona, protects a major public asset and economic engine that supports thousands of jobs, and revitalizes a key part of downtown—all without raising taxes.
We’re grateful to @GovernorHobbs and all the legislators, local leaders, stakeholders, and partners who played a role in making this happen. ⚾️

🚨 Big win for Arizona: SB 1543 is headed to the governor’s desk!
This bill supports smart growth by giving companies developing international HQs the flexibility to build on-site housing and services that support their workforce—helping retain talent, ease housing pressures, and keep homegrown innovation rooted right here in Arizona.
Huge thanks to the #AZLeg and all the business leaders and community voices who helped get this across the finish line. It’s a clear signal that Arizona is ready to partner with businesses that want to grow and stay here.
Just a quick clarification regarding the house vote on
SB 1543, a bill to protect Arizona’s economy-
- It is 100 percent the proper role of the state Government to settle matters of statewide concern.
- Pay close attention to certain members saying the reason they would vote no bc they would not override the “autonomy of voters.”
Then look at every one of their voting records on “overriding” the autonomy of voters on initiatives! Including just last session RCV, Health issues, ESA’s session before.
📊 New poll: AZ voters overwhelmingly back Axon’s HQ project & on-campus housing legislation SB 1543.
As @dbseiden puts it: “Voters are sending a clear message: We want jobs. We want growth. And we want to keep homegrown innovators right here in Arizona.”
