Special thanks to former GOP legislator Justine Wadsack for confirming that TP's involvement in trying to take over the SRP board is not about protecting you from high prices or data center excess.

It is about the midterm election.

I’m proud to have secured more than $17.7M in Community Project Funding for AZ-03.

From solutions to combat extreme heat to revitalizing our parks and building more shelter beds to address homelessness, these diverse investments reflect what our communities have told us they need the most.

The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.

That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.

The American people β€” not Netanyahu’s right-wing government β€” should determine U.S. foreign policy.
