I was speaking on the Senate floor defending Arizona's election while Officer Eugene Goodman led insurrectionists away from the chamber. Forever grateful for his service to our country and his defense of democracy.
I condemn the rocket attacks on innocent civilians and stand in support of Israel and peace.
Sinema Delivers Senate Floor Remarks on Voting Rights, America's Divisions, and the U.S. Senate
I'm honored to serve as AZ’s senior Senator & grateful to the voters who entrusted me with this duty.
I'll continue to work to get things done for Arizonans, because they deserve leaders who put country above party. I pledge to keep our state’s tradition of doing just that.
Arizonans can count on me to work across the aisle and get things done for our state.
Canceling the U.S. House vote on the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act denies Americans millions of new good-paying jobs and hurts everyday families.

Today we remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLKDay
Our support for a secure Israel as a beacon of democracy must remain unwavering. Proud to speak at ’s Phoenix dinner last night about strengthening and deepening this alliance.
Arizonans bear the brunt of Washington’s failure to address our broken immigration system. We must secure the border with a comprehensive, smart, bipartisan approach - we’re calling on to send additional resources and staff to AZ ports.
A woman’s health care decisions should be between her, her family, and her doctor. Today's decision overturning Roe v. Wade endangers the health and wellbeing of women in Arizona and across America. 1/2
Senate & White House agree. We will vote on the largest relief package in US history today. It will be overwhelmingly bipartisan.
I’m extremely disappointed in those who played partisanship the last few days. It’s always wrong, but in times of crisis, it’s dangerous. Please stop
#OnThisDay in 1865, Congress passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery.
If members of Congress don't do their jobs, they shouldn't get paid. Proud to once again sponsor #NoBudgetNoPay.
After months of productive, good-faith negotiations with and the White House, we have made significant progress on the proposed budget reconciliation package. I look forward to getting this done, expanding economic opportunities and helping everyday families get ahead.
I look forward to partnering with to cut through Washington dysfunction and deliver results for everyday Arizonans - and I am confident Mark will uphold the Arizona values of seeking common ground and putting country above party.
John McCain was a champion for human rights across the globe who fiercely promoted the dignity and rights of all people. We’re proud to honor his legacy with a resolution creating the John S. McCain III Human Rights Commission.
#OnThisDay in 1997, Madeleine Albright made history as the first woman sworn in as Secretary of State. 🇺🇸
15 years ago we lost a hero. Today, we remember Pat Tillman for his legacy of service, honor, and sacrifice. #NeverStop
In 1932, Hattie Caraway was the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate. I'm honored to be the first woman to serve Arizona in the Senate. #OnThisDay

We are horrified and heartbroken by the senseless tragedy unfolding at Robb Elementary School in Texas and grateful to the first responders for acting swiftly. No families should ever have to fear violence in their children's schools.
Statement on Voting to Confirm the Nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
It's time for both parties to come together and reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (#VAWA) to protect victims and help them escape trafficking. #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay
Our bipartisan agreement will upgrade critical infrastructure, create jobs, and expand opportunities for AZ. Honored to have ’s support.
I voted to end this irresponsible shutdown, but the only real way out of this mess is for both parties to sit down, talk, and find a long-term bipartisan solution. That's what Arizonans expect and that's exactly what I'll keep doing.
Happy Birthday, ! I’m proud to work with you to deliver results for everyday Arizonans 🌵.
The Biden admin will end Title 42 tomorrow without a working plan in place to keep AZ communities and migrants safe. They had years to prepare for this, failed to do so, and now Arizona will bear the brunt of this crisis. We're pushing for solutions to keep AZ safe.
Arizonans: stay home and keep social distancing. That's how we will further slow the spread of coronavirus and prevent a spike in new cases.
If members of Congress fail to do their jobs, then they should not get paid. sinema.senate.gov/sinema-congres
Arizona women make 84¢ for every $1 men make. On #EqualPayDay, we’re proud to support the Paycheck Fairness Act because Arizona women deserve equal pay for equal work.
Today marks eight years since the #Tucson shooting. We remember the heroism of first responders and honor all the victims of that tragic day.
#OnThisDay in 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate.
Senator John McCain taught us to always assume the best in others, to seek compromise instead of sowing division, and to put country ahead of party. Three years after his passing, I am still inspired by his legacy, leadership, and service to our nation.
Yesterday I called for the government to re-open so Congress could take three weeks to address border security and immigration in a bipartisan way. Today, it’s happening.
Shutdowns are irresponsible and hurtful; they should never happen.
I’m working across the aisle to stop the flow of migrants, ensure fair and humane treatment of migrants currently here, and boost resources so migrants who do not qualify to stay in America quickly return home.

Six years ago, Arizona lost 19 firefighters in the Yarnell Hill Fire. Today, we remember the bravery of our Granite Mountain Hotshots.
156 years after Congress passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the promise of equality is still not a reality for many Americans. We’re working to advance our nation’s values: freedom, justice, and equal treatment under the law.
It’s pathetic Congress once again stands here at the 11th hour to fulfill its most fundamental obligation. Partisanship and tunnel vision on damaging the opposition and preventing the other side from “getting a win” has replaced thoughtful legislating. 1/4
Congress doesn’t deserve a raise -- especially when there are so many issues important to American families that we should be focused on instead. Our commonsense provision puts hardworking American families first. bit.ly/2Zx5O7o
In 1986, we lost the crew of the Space Shuttle #Challenger. Today, we honor the 7 heroes who lost their lives. #STS51L

When we return to DC we'll keep working to find bipartisan solutions.
On August 6, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. The right to vote is critical to the health and vitality of our democracy. We’re proudly cosponsoring the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to ensure Americans’ right to vote remains protected.
Happy World Teachers Day, Arizona! Today and every day, we’re grateful for the dedicated educators across our state.
There’s so much we agree on as Americans. We must cut red tape for businesses, grow jobs, and work together to bridge manufactured partisan divides. I’ll continue to stand up for #AZ against this unnecessary trade war and keep working with anyone to get results for Arizona.
100 years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld the 19th amendment, defending women's right to vote.
11 years ago today, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed. Any American willing to risk his or her life to protect and serve our country deserves our gratitude and support.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her life showing the world that focused, unflappable women — who refuse to be outworked — can change America for the better. Happy Birthday, #NotoriousRBG.
Asking the court to eliminate protections for 3 million Arizonans living with preexisting conditions will devastate families across AZ. We must protect coverage for preexisting conditions & work across the aisle to make health care more affordable and accessible to all Arizonans.
59 years ago today, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth 🌎.
114 years ago today, Arizona's Grand Canyon was named a national monument. 🏜

These vaccines are safe, effective, will save lives, and help Arizona’s economic recovery. I encourage all Arizonans to get vaccinated and protect ourselves and our loved ones from this virus that has caused so much damage to Arizona lives and livelihoods. sinema.senate.gov/sinema-receive
Today in 1953, incredible scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick discovered the chemical structure of DNA.

This is what it looks like when elected leaders set aside differences, shut out the noise, and focus on delivering results on the issues that matter most to everyday Americans.
I am dismayed by the President's decision to pardon Joe Arpaio. Arpaio hurt Arizonans & cost taxpayers a great amount of grief & money. 1/2
