I spoke with Mayor Kate Gallego and seniors advocates about the importance of increasing affordable housing so Arizona seniors can age with dignity. We also talked about how the federal funding we worked together to secure will go towards building permanent supportive housing.

Today, the administration announced new, lower prices for 10 prescription drugs thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. These lower prices on drugs to treat everything from diabetes to arthritis will save money for Arizona seniors and save $6 billion for the federal government.

For Arizonans, climate change isn’t just a term — it’s an everyday reality. As we confront a historic drought and record heat waves, it’s important we take action to protect our planet for our kids and grandkids.

Six years ago today, we lost a great Arizonan and a great American with the passing of Senator John McCain. He left an enduring impact and a legacy of service and sacrifice that continues to inspire us all.

This order will needlessly punish Arizona families. There is no good reason for families to be separated while applying for long-term legal status that they’re already eligible for.

On this day in 1983, Guy Bluford became the first African American to go to space as a part of STS-8. His contributions to the early shuttle missions helped build our space program into what into what it is today, and his legacy continues to inspire young Americans everywhere.

I’m saddened by the news the IDF has recovered the bodies of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages taken by Hamas. Hersh’s parents have been an inspiration with their relentless efforts. We must continue doing everything we can to bring the remaining hostages home.

Happy Labor Day, Arizona! Growing up, I saw just how important unions were to my parents’ livelihoods. Today, unions are at the center of making sure that workers benefit from the economy of the future we are creating in Arizona and across the country.
