So proud of the work we've done over the years to expand the New Economy Initiative and invest in our higher education system to better train our workforce and create good paying jobs. Our bipartisan budget this year continued this important investment.

"Why don't you have all the results on election night?"
Recorder @Stephen_Richer explains how early ballots dropped off on election day impact the reporting of election results.
TLDR: Don't wait to drop off your early ballot if you want it included in election night totals.

Violence of any kind has no place in our democracy. Our prayers are with the Pelosi family.
Quote Tweet
The attack and attempted murder of Paul Pelosi is horrific, and I’m hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.
My thoughts are with @SpeakerPelosi and the entire Pelosi family as they process and also recover from this assault.

In 2017 Trump tweeted the media is "the enemy of the American people." Mirroring dangerous rhetoric used by authoritarians like Stalin and Mao.
Here's what we've devolved to since then. 👇🏼 It's disgusting and dangerous to journalists and to our entire system of democracy.

On May 31, the held a sham hearing for the creators of the conspiracy-filled “2000 mules.”
This same day, we were trying to pass legislation & protect our students from #gunviolence.
Republicans claimed we were “stalling” & scoffed at doing REAL work for Arizona.

Arizona AG Mark Brnovich’s office is referring “True the Vote” (the group behind “2000 Mules”) to the FBI and IRS, alleging the group provided misleading statements to them, lied about being FBI informants and never produced promised vote fraud data. azag.gov/sites/default/Show this thread

Corporate greed is at fault for the higher prices at the pumps. The numbers speak for themselves.
Quote Tweet
Oil prices today: $85.90 a barrel
Gas prices today: $3.85 a gallon
Oil prices in April 2010: $85.66 a barrel
Gas prices in April 2010: $2.85 a gallon
Gas prices are $1 a gallon higher than they should be because of Big Oil's greed. We need a windfall profits tax.

🚨 We are 14 days away from our public schools receiving budget warning letters without an #AELfixNOW.
Hear from Senator why the AEL is outdated & why our state desperately needs a special session to make sure our schools can use the money we appropriated to them!

The $60 million we appropriated for the state Housing Trust Fund in our bipartisan budget this year is going to help so many Arizonans. Here's the latest example of a project in Flagstaff for homeless youth. Thank you !
Quote Tweet
Congrats to @HYCArizona on receiving $1M ADOH Housing Trust Fund award for the acquisition/rehab of a @CityofFlagstaff home to be used as emergency/transitional housing for homeless youth enrolled in high school. The AZ Legislature appropriated $60M to the HTF this past session.

Another example of Republicans wasting taxpayer money to mislead the public.
Quote Tweet
1/4 On May 31st, a group of GOP legislators led by State Rep Shawnna Bolick gave the "2,000 Mules" creators their own hearing. Big platform. The movie creators were applauded, praised. They assured the crowd the AG and FBI had or WOULD have the evidence. Never happened. @12News

Corporations are using inflation as an excuse to boost profits to a 70-year high. All while workers are living paycheck to paycheck w/out any wage increases and CEO's are paying a lower tax rate than working people. This is why inflation is high. Why aren't we talking about that?
Quote Tweet
Remember, inflation is elevated in EVERY advanced economy in the world, not just in America. It is not caused by Joe Biden, and anyone who says or suggests otherwise is wrong or deliberately conning you.

Our teachers, Admin, & students deserve an immediate #AELfix to ensure they can keep the lights on this school year!

We can fix this with a special session.
