AZ Sen Mitzi Epstein
@mitziepstein
AZ State Senator- Ahwatukee, Chandler, Tempe; Our survival, and quality of life depend on making decisions based on truth. Science is based on observations and data, not on generalizations. Let’s learn more about it, and use it more rigorously in politics
💙Democrats, Please do NOT vote for D. Nardozzi in the LD08 Democratic Primary. 💙 Please Re-Elect State Sen. Lauren Kuby, True Champion of the real people in our neighborhoods. We need her expertise to address Climate with cost-effective solutions and affordability without corporate influence.
😡 🎩Billionaire baseball owner, Ken Kendrick got 30-years of bailout $$ for the baseball stadium paid by You, the taxpayer. He donated the max to Deborah Nardozzi, and a whole lotta Republicans. 🚧 🚧 We CANNOT let these corporate-Dems get elected. GOP special interests are supporting them. 🚧 🚧
Why are right-wing extremists donating in Democratic Primaries? 😡Because they want a Constitutional Convention to re-write the US Constitution! 🇺🇸. Alarm bells are ringing!! He and that kind of a convention are a frightening danger to our Bill of Rights, and our whole Constitution! there’s more…
💲😡 Utilities are part of the "data center in your backyard problem" -- high electric bills, air pollution, noise, extreme heat -- and they donated $6,000 to Deborah Nardozzi. Pls do Not vote for her in the Democratic Primary. … read next…
*Keep Kuby, because she keeps YOU top of mind.* 😡 But, her Democratic Primary Opponent is backed by big corporate money, and the 🧑🎓😢 😡 lobbyists that cause our schools to lose funding year after year. I’ve fought For Progress, and Nardozzi is Not progress. … …
⁉️Democrats, Do you know how to STOP Corporate Lobbyists? Read this thread for the true scoop: 😊1. Vote for AZ State Senator Lauren Kuby in the Primary Tues. July 21. Her record is voting FOR the people, and against corporate lobbyists that are pushing up the price of everything. 😱But her opponent…
1 way or another, AZ Republican lawmakers are will Hurt You. They sent 3 horrible bills to the ballot. They make the first few sentences sound nice -usually because those points are already the law- then they drop the bombs with clauses to kill unions, cut K12, and overturn the will of the voters.
Today State Rep Patty Contreras, Rep Stacey Travers and I joined our Ahwatukee neighbors, US Rep Greg Stanton, Mayor Kate Gallego and city officials for a festive, family day to welcome the newest Phoenix Fire Station #74. It was built for better response times
You have written thousands of cards to state lawmakers! YOU in small towns and big cities across Arizona are speaking up! we have delivered over 1200 so far. You wrote: STOP the tax cuts! Stop the budget cuts! Stop the data center tax incentives Now! Tax the billionaire big sports betting apps!
This Republican budget got 100% Nay votes from Democrats in AZLeg. 😡GOP Rep Livingston said the budget bills have various errors, but the entire Republican caucus passed these budget bills. 😡GOP chose CUTS for working people’s pay and services, and freebies to wealthy corporations.
Thanks to everyone who made the 50th Easter Parade a wonderful Saturday! Ahwatukee Kiwanis Club your volunteers are pillars of our community. Thank you so very much!
Republicans literally shouted, “No!” to Democrats’ amendment for transparency to taxpayers about charter, private, and ESA vouchers. Why No? They refused to answer. I infer that Republicans get big campaign 💵💵💲 from the For-Profit private education industry. Result: Private ed wasting your tax $$
Your voice -in committee hearings in the state legislature & Congress, in town halls, in letters to the editor, 🚦and in the streets to protest. In America, and in AZ we must stop Republicans because they are destroying our rights, our freedoms, and our vote itself . #nokings #noKingsTempe
Renee Newman was honored today with an award from the Multiple Sclerosis Society. She has been an inspiration to all of us! She is dedicated to staying on the move. Today, on her jazzy scooter, she led hundreds of people who gathered for the Phoenix MS Society Walk Fundraiser.
“Everyone has a summer estate,” says the billionaire.😱 We all need to speak up to tell lawmakers to Stop giving our hard-earned money to subsidies for private jets and masions! 🛑Say NO to bills like Sb1516 (jets) Sb1633 (mansions) and all the corporate tax breaks in HR1 !!!
It was the annual event, Lutherans’ Day at the Capitol Monday! 😊 They were here to advocate for affordable food and housing, mental health, and public education. Thank you for speaking up!

Democrats are fighting for working families, for seniors, for students, For You. We want an Arizona We Can Afford, not someday, but now. How? -Our priorities this legislative session are to 👩🎓🧑🎓invest in public education, 🛑fight corporate greed, and 🚑 make healthcare affordable.
🇺🇸Democracy is worth fighting for. Rules allow GOP Pres Petersen to appoint every person who serves on a committee in the AZ Senate. Denying the Minority Leader’s choices for appointees- that is legal, and a Lousy Way to govern. It is the opposite of custom and practice in the state legislature.
Meanwhile, I literally spent the cost of used crayons and used poster board To show how the “Diamondbacks debacle” would work. I walked around, talking with small groups Saturday (among thousands) and NOBODY wants this deal! 1 woman said “I am a season ticket holder and that tax deal is BAD!”
I visited the Scottsdale Training And Rehabilitation Services, a community center that “Enhances The Lives Of Individuals With Cognitive & Developmental Disabilities By Creating employment, opportunities, skills, and smiles” 😊 DDD programs like this provide a good ROI for all Arizonans.
STOP bills for billionaires! #STOPbillionaireBailouts SB1096 would make taxpayers pay for a bullion depository for people who have so much gold they don't know what to do with it. I voted, NO. Every Republican voted yes. GOP motto: Middle class pays. Zillionaires receive.
Happy Easter. Happy Easter especially to caregivers. It is Easter and I am still working to get the funding you need, the funding you deserve, the funding that produces a positive ROI for our economy. Important read: www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

I was glad to talk with Arizona Democratic Federation of Women last week at the Capitol. They told stories of bringing neighbors together for good causes around tables with pot luck meals. These events build genuinely caring communities.
SB1383 passed the Senate Education Committee unanimously and passed the Senate. Next: House committee hearing. Thanks also to Rebecca Wolf for your ongoing work to encourage your college students, friends, and neighbors to participate in our democracy!
Sb1383: When a parent asks about CPR training the school staff has, and the basic credentials of the school health office, the school would be required to answer. Thanks to Landon’s parents, Julie & Mark for advocating for it, and to Sen Mesnard for bipartisan collaboration …
Important people- advocates for early childhood, and for human services. Guv Hobbs’ budget has a great proposal for childcare! And we have some good bills to improve reimbursement rates for mental health providers. That will hopefully improve access to mental healthcare for many. Good news! 😊
This year I was honored with the IMLD Patron Award at the International Mother Language Day festival in Chandler. IMLD honors our ancestors’ languages and cultures, also raising awareness of our right to use our own language.
