IT’S FINALLY HERE.

"Only about one-fifth of all homes sold in the Phoenix area late last year were affordable for a family earning the median local income, about $72,000. Before the pandemic, nearly two-thirds of local homes were priced at affordable levels." nytimes.com/2024/03/29/bus…

Your perennial reminder that Arizona has cut more from higher education than any state in the country since 2008. Failing to invest in our universities will lead to higher costs for students and fewer programs and research capabilities to strengthen our state's economic growth.

It was quite the journey from co-sponsoring the bills to create the LG position in 2022, working hard to get them passed with bipartisan support, and then the voters approving Prop 131. Now, the speculation starts. Should be an interesting two years! azcapitoltimes.com/news/2024/10/0…

An exciting morning in Ahwatukee today for the groundbreaking for Phoenix Fire Dept. Station #74, something that our LD18/LD12 delegation has long advocated for! A special thank you to Mayor Kate Gallego and Phoenix District 6 Councilman Kevin Robinson for making it happen! Sen. Mitzi Epstein Jennifer Jermaine Stacey Travers

Great op-ed by Austin R. Stumpf on why Prop 140 is a bad idea. Among its *many* faults, it would make it easier for either party to game the system and block out the opposing party from the general election. It would inevitably lead to *less* choice, not more. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

One of the hardest working and most genuine legislators I ever had the pleasure of serving with. Your passion and work helped improve the lives of so many, both in your district and across Arizona. Grateful for you, always. 🩷 x.com/ChristinePMars…

Wishing all the members, staff, and guests a very Happy Opening Day! Amidst all the pomp and circumstance today, it's always important to remember that it is a privilege to serve and represent our great state. Hoping for a productive session! azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

"We need to make sure that we’re matching our politics to what actually is happening in the real world, because sometimes when we have that disconnect, we miss really badly. We entirely missed where the American public was during the 2024 election." nytimes.com/2025/02/15/mag…

Lots of highlights from #SNL50 last night, one of my favorites being Paul McCartney performing the Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End medley from Abbey Road, one of my favorite Beatles songs. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=iu4aed…

When we talk about Medicaid, some context on how vital it is for all Arizonans (and how important the 2011 bipartisan Medicaid expansion effort was in expanding coverage). Another key point: 46% of all births in Arizona are covered by Medicaid, too. (Source: KFF)

Not enough is said about the many personal and professional sacrifices that come with public service. Thank you, Eva Burch, for running when you did and representing your #LD9 Mesa community so well the last three years!

"Millions of people who are financially comfortable now may be just one bad break away from needing Medicaid for themselves or a member of their immediate family. Medicaid is a shield against anxiety for the luckiest among us." nytimes.com/2025/03/21/you…

Your perennial reminder that Veep is the most realistic show ever made about politics, not House of Cards or the West Wing x.com/TheAtlantic/st…

An excellent choice! Kiana was clearly the best candidate of the three and will serve #LD9 and west Mesa well in the State Senate. Congratulations Kiana Maria Sears! x.com/ThomasGalvin/s…

If legislators want a pay raise, why not add an amendment that also puts in place stronger term limits (e.g., a 16-year lifetime cap)? Seems a pay raise would be an easier sell to voters if it's coupled with reforms designed to make it easier for newer voices to serve.

It cannot be overstated how critically important the bipartisan Medicaid expansion has been to our state's economy and the health and well being of hundreds of thousands of Arizonans. Potential cuts at the federal level would hit our state extremely hard. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

Phoenix (finally!) getting its first non-stop flight to Asia is a big, big deal. It's to Taipei, and it will start early next year. Kudos to Mayor Kate Gallego and her team, as this, along with the continued TSMC development, is a huge economic driver for AZ. onemileatatime.com/news/starlux-a…

Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, when the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in the bottom of the ninth, is #1 on the list, as it should be! x.com/TheAthletic/st…

Passing this was the result of a lot of hard work at the legislature in 2022 (with bipartisan support), with Arizona voters approving it at the ballot box as well. Supporting our Dreamers is good for our economy and our state's future. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
