Arizona is proud of Larry Fitzgerald! Your 17 seasons with the Cardinals made you a legend on the field, but your impact on our communities is just as lasting. Congratulations on a well-deserved Pro Football Hall of Fame honor. Thank you for continuing to represent AZ with excellence. #11
Yesterday, we drove to the Tuba City flea market to hear directly from voters about their livelihoods, challenges, and priorities. We also shared the message about politicians who put the ultra-wealthy first. In Congress, we’ll keep meeting people where they’re at so we can better represent them.
A $1 trillion Medicaid cut in the Big Ugly Bill caused a hospital to shut down, forcing 100 layoffs and hurting southern Arizona healthcare. In Congress, I’ll fight to reverse these cuts and send money back to rural hospitals because every Arizonan deserves quality medical care. #warriorup
Lake Powell is hitting dangerously low levels. If water drops too far, the hydroelectric plant would shutdown, and energy costs in Arizona could spike for millions, especially rural communities. We need leaders who are going to step up and hit the negotiating table for our precious water rights.

Arizona, we are just 100 days from Election Day! Let’s all WARRIOR UP and make a plan to vote so we elect common sense leaders who will make a change! For more information on how to vote, please visit azsos.gov.
Exciting event last night in Prescott as I was honored to speak at the opening of the Copper State Victory coordinated campaign office!
Proud to announce I am the official Democratic nominee for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District! Phefelia and I thank you, Arizona, for voting in the primary election today! Tomorrow the general election begins, and I hope we are all ready to Warrior Up as we push toward November!
From Flagstaff to Holbrook to Window Rock, I am meeting with voters across Arizona 2 to hear their voices on Primary Day. Make sure to cast your ballot today, and stay safe with all the monsoon rain! Polls close at 7pm!
Arizona, today is Primary Day! Make sure to visit your local ballot box to make your voice heard!
It was great connecting with local voters in Cottonwood and hearing directly about the issues that matter most to them. I’m always grateful for the opportunity to be back in Yavapai County, listening and working together for a stronger Arizona.
Phefelia and I were grateful to be in attendance tonight as the Phoenix Mercury hosted their annual Originativ Night.
Today was great meeting with mayors from across the Verde Valley to discuss the issues facing their communities. Rural Arizona deserves to be heard, and I’ll continue working to ensure all communities of AZ02 are never overlooked.
📬 We are 7 days until the Primary Election! Vote by mail today, or make your plan to vote in-person by July 21. Let’s make our voices heard!
Honored to have earned the official endorsements representing every Navajo Nation Chapter in AZ. After the Western Agency Council’s endorsement last month, today we proudly received the support of the Fort Defiance and Central Agency Councils. The momentum across #AZ02 is real.
Every election matters. Tribal, local, state, and federal. Each one shapes our communities. Today I was proud to vote early in the Navajo Nation primary election in Tuba City. The elections office has absentee ballots for all chapters. Make a plan to vote. Your voice matters.
Happy Fourth of July, AZ-02! 🇺🇸 As we celebrate 250 years of the American story, we honor the service & sacrifice of those who have defended our nation, reflect on our history, & recommit ourselves to building a stronger future for the next seven generations. God bless the USA.
AZ families deserve leaders who will fight to lower costs, strengthen our rural communities, and protect our future. Our public fundraising deadline is tonight at 9pm PT, and we are $9,528 short of our goal. Every dollar you give will help us reach voters across AZ-02 and win.
Great to spend some time in Prescott this week meeting with voters from across the community. People are ready to get involved and bring accountability, integrity, and a fresh approach back to government. The momentum for change is real, and we’re thankful to everyone who came!
Join me in Whiteriver for a community meet and greet! Stop by to meet the candidate and check your voter registration status — or get registered if you’re not already. We will be at the White Mountain Apache Bashes (Time Square) at 6pm today! See you there!
Always great to be in communities across AZ02, connecting with voters, and making sure everyone has the opportunity to register to vote and make their voice heard in this election. Last week in Tuba City was no different. Let’s make sure everyone you know is registered to vote!
As a tribal leader, my record shows that I’ve fought for and shown up for Arizona families, tribal communities, and rural towns at the highest levels of government.
Happy Father’s Day! Today, my team and I honor every generation of fathers. From grandfathers to new dads, thank you for the strength, wisdom, and love that you pour into your families. Your guidance, sacrifice, and commitment help shape future generations.
Honored to attend the Lived Black Experience Annual Juneteenth Gala last night, hosted by the Southside Community Association in Flagstaff.
Today we honor freedom, progress, and resilience. As we celebrate the history of freedom, we commit to creating stronger communities and a more united Arizona where opportunity and dignity are for everyone.
🚨 RATINGS CHANGE ALERT 🚨 Our race is now being labeled as a toss-up race! Let's keep this momentum going!
I recently had a great time traveling around Yavapai County, especially in Rimrock. Hearing directly from voters on the ground is always a powerful reminder: folks are ready for leadership that listens and delivers real results for rural AZ.
