As ACAA, our aim was to alleviate the effects of poverty. We are now Wildfire. We believe it is time to ignite lasting change, to stop poverty before it starts.
#AZFinancialFriday Tip: As outside temperatures get higher, save money on your electric bill by taking advantage of off-peak hours. Run your appliances and charge your devices during these times to lower your energy bills. | @AZTreasurerYee
Wildfire was in attendance at this year's CAPLAW Conference in Phx! 🏜️🧡 Executive Director, Kelly McGowan, presented on a panel "Feeding Our Communities: The Latest in Federal Food & Nutrition Programs" with Ashley @azfoodbanks & Ellen @fractweets 🤝 #EndPoverty#EndHunger
I was honored to join SouthEastern Arizona Elder Abuse Task Force and empower seniors in the Duncan area to protect themselves from scams. On World #ElderAbuseAwarenessDay and every day, protecting Arizona seniors from abuse and exploitation is one of my top priorities.
America's workers and the labor movement are being tested like never before. But our federation of unions has never been more united.
At the AFL-CIO's 30th Constitutional Convention, we’re coming together, building solidarity and fighting for a future that works for all of us.
The Trump administration made a backroom deal to pay TotalEnergies $1 billion to cancel offshore wind projects. But states are fighting back to stop President Trump from destroying these clean energy jobs and the affordable electricity they’ll build. https://t.co/5jl0XWh56Q
On the campaign trail, Trump promised he would not touch Social Security.
Today, over nearly 9,000 staffers have been pushed out and there are record wait times for people to access their earned benefits.
Donald Trump broke his promise!
Legislative Democrats, including myself, have introduced bill after bill to eliminate the fraud, waste and abuse inherent in the ESA expanded voucher scam.

PRESS RELEASE: "Legally futile": Arizona Secretary of State responds to DOJ's appeal request to access the private personal information of Arizona's voters
Working people pay taxes on every paycheck while billionaires use loopholes to avoid paying theirs.
Here's how the Robinhood Act closes one of those loopholes.
🗓️🗳️ Midterm elections are coming in just a few months and many states are "purging" voters from the rolls.

Brace for higher summer energy bills. Forecasts show electricity costs could climb nearly 9% from last year, adding strain on household budgets. Experts recommend smart thermostats, sealing duct leaks, & other energy-saving habits to help offset costs. https://t.co/jUeMvpqWqJ
NEW: The mega-rich are using the Iran war to get even richer.
The Iran war has cost Americans $72 billion and shot up gas prices by 50%. Corporate executives are price-gouging, rigging investments, and trading on insider information to cash in on the crisis.
This is warflation.
Arizona taxpayers are footing the bill on both ends of this fight and, as the court stated, this is “legally futile.”
As long as I am Arizona’s Secretary of State, I will continue to refuse any illegal requests for your private voter data and fight to protect your privacy. I will not be deterred from protecting Arizona’s voters because of political threats.
Yesterday the acting Attorney General said Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for his cronies and insurrectionists was dead. Today, Trump walked it back in the Oval Office.
I'm fighting to pass the SLUSH FUND Act to kill it permanently.
Proud to join Arizona construction workers, union partners, and legislators this morning to voice our support for prevailing wage. Arizona Prevails is about making sure Arizona skilled workers earn a fair wage and can provide for their families 🇺🇸
BREAKING: @SenRubenGallego just introduced the ROBINHOOD Act.
Billionaires avoid ever paying capital gains tax by borrowing against their assets instead of selling them.
The ROBINHOOD Act would make them pay taxes on the loans they take out.
No more loophole. No more cheating.
