Congratulations to Rep. Keshel for successfully passing HB2155 in the House! This vital bill provides an income tax subtraction for adoption expenses, helping more children find loving, safe homes. A big win for families and kids in need! #AdoptionMatters #HB2155

@JackHeald5 The Arizona House has passed House Bill 2017 along party lines, aiming to eliminate voting centers in favor of precinct-based polling places. This move could significantly change where Arizonans cast their ballots—and secure our elections.

BREAKING: Every single Republican just voted to END taxes on tips! Meanwhile, almost every Democrat voted NO—they want to keep taxing hard-earned wages. Absolutely shameful! #NoTaxOnTips

Integrity is the foundation of trust. Without it, relationships crumble, teams fall apart, and success is short-lived. Do the right thing—even when no one is watching. #Integrity #LeadershipMatters

As a legislator, I am appalled by the behavior of some of my fellow colleagues who misuse their power to evade the law. Using their status to avoid consequences is unethical and shameful. It is contradictory to advocate for the rule of law while disregarding it. Rep. Nguyen's call for accountability is crucial—let's eliminate double standards and hold everyone responsible. #NoMoreAbuse #IntegrityMatters

Happy 17th Birthday to Our Beautiful Daughter! Seventeen years ago, Mom and I held you in our arms, just like in this photo when you were just three months old—so small, so precious, and already filling our lives with love and joy. Throughout the years, we have watched you grow into an incredible young woman—strong, kind, determined, and full of potential. Time has flown by, but one thing remains the same—our love for you. Keep chasing your dreams and making the world a better place. We love you more than words can say! #HappyBirthday #ProudParents #TimeFlies

🚨 Wildfire mitigation is a top priority! My bills—#HB2395, #HB2398, & #HB2400—just passed the House Committee on Land, Agriculture & Rural Affairs. These bills invest $19M in suppression, contingency planning & prevention to protect White Mountain communities. #AZLeg 🔥 We can’t sit back & let rural AZ burn. This funding helps @azforestry & local fire depts keep high-risk areas like Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside & Payson safe. Proactive fire mgmt is key! #WildfirePrevention ⏩ Next stop: Appropriations Committee. Let’s get it done! #AZWildfires

MSG Dona, Courage is a rare and powerful thing, but when it shines, it inspires us all. True heroes like Jack Dona embody that courage, standing tall for those who have served. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our American military veterans. Your dedication and bravery do not go unnoticed—you are a beacon of honor and strength.
I had @MSG_Jack_Dona join me on @WTFNationRadio to discuss and assist, get the word out about @SteveSlatonAZ . I was grateful to get all the help from @MtnDailyStar and @GopNavajo as well. Jack has provided an update to the Arizona Stolen Valor Act (HB2030). @QuangNguyenAZ

@StolenValor1 @MSG_Jack_Dona Awesome testimony. It would an honor if you would offer the same insight on HB2030 to the Arizona Senate when it is heard. And thank you for your service, and support of HB2030.

Forest fires threaten rural Arizona’s people and communities. I introduced HB2400, HB2398, and HB2395—fire contingency plans to strengthen wildfire preparedness and protect lives and property. I’m grateful these bills passed out of the Committee on Land, Agriculture & Rural Affairs and look forward to advancing them through the House and Senate to the Governor’s desk.

A huge win for our-veterans! 🇺🇸The Arizona Stolen Valor Act, honoring the late Master Sergeant Orlando J. Dona, USAF (Ret.), passed through the Military Affairs Committee today with overwhelming bipartisan support! This is a major step in defending the integrity of those who served and stopping those who falsely claim military achievements. Onward to victory! #Veterans #StolenValor🇺🇸
