Arizona Senate Democrats

The very first bill Legislative Republicans introduced this session was to strip Arizonans of their voting rights. Today, Dem Leaders Sundareshan & De Los Santos introduced the Voters First Act, which will expand Arizonans' voter rights & secure our elections.

Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight to ensure everyone had equal rights.

The Arizona Senate Democrats are committed to turning his dream of justice and equality for all into a reality for every Arizonan.

Happy Friday! On Opening Day, Senator Lela Alston got a standing ovation during the State of State for her significant contributions to the state legislature and to Arizona.

Democrats support tax relief for Arizona's working-class individuals and families, but we do not support a rushed, unbalanced bill that will make life harder for everyday Arizonans.

What happens when you put 17 Republicans in a room? You get $1.1 billion tax plan that looks good on Instagram but favors corporations and the wealthy while threatening education, healthcare, and essential services.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Capitol today to honor and celebrate Arizona’s rich Indigenous culture and history during the 31st Annual Arizona Indian Nations and Tribes Legslative Day!

We stand in solidarity with all those harmed by ICE and this administration’s mass deportation agenda.

On Opening Day, @senanaliseortiz.bsky.social left two seats empty for the 32 people who died in ICE custody last year, and for the thousands still suffering in detention. When she tried to speak their names, Senate President Warren Petersen tried to cut her microphone.

Los demócratas en la Legislatura estamos unidos para bajar los costos de vida, frenar la codicia corporativa, hacer la salud pública accesible y defender la educación.
