Well, it looks like the letter we sent off yesterday to California and Gov. Newsom worked! I’d like to thank my colleagues who signed on in support of what would have been a truly horrendous result for Arizonans.
BREAKING: California Assembly will NOT move forward with Gov. Newsom's oil/gas storage proposal, SB 950, before end of CALeg session.
Speaker Rivas: "What I’m not going to do is push through bills that haven’t been sufficiently vetted.."
Great news!
Here’s part of the majority opinion, authored by Justice Clarence Thomas:

Not a bad mascot. Team name should have been “Washington Hawgs” - embraces the history-rich nickname from the team’s golden era and also reflects on insanity going on in DC.

Oh, dear. Couple of things:
1. Yes, the US Senate is "anti-democratic." It was designed to give every state an equal voice. The House was designed to give every person an equal voice. They serve different missions. Again, on purpose.
2. The US is a Constitutional Republic.
51% of Americans have only 18 voices representing them in the Senate. 82 senators speak for the other 49%.
So try this question on for size: Is the Senate an anti-democratic institution?

Wow, thank you. I’m not here for the likes, follows or attention. I just wanna keep Arizona awesome. And it’s awesome because of individual liberties, economic prosperity and unobtrusive government. I aim to keep it that way.
Proud to report my bill to make Pluto Arizona’s State Planet passed the Senate just now! Thank you, Senators! HB2477 now heads to

This afternoon several AZ state legislators joined me in sending a letter to AG Garland. We do not support DOJ’s unwarranted interference in states supporting election integrity. Our constituents elected us to protect the electoral process and that is what we will continue to do.
This man is forever my brother. He proudly served our country with honor and he then served our state admirably. He stepped up for all the right reasons. He’s a patriot and a statesman and it’s a big loss for the Senate.
It is my great honor to introduce y’all to one of my legislative brothers -

We in Arizona haven’t forgotten about you, Pluto. You were discovered in our grand state on this day back in 1930. And tomorrow, you’ll be one step closer to being Arizona’s state planet!

this evening in Central PHX to talk about how we’re both badasses and what we’re gonna do to keep government small and responsible! Great times!
Legislators are dedicated and want to work for you. Don’t believe me? Check out this photo. This is Rep. Quang Nguyen’s truck stuck in a foot of snow in Prescott Valley. He was trying to make it back to Phoenix for another full legislative workday. Dedication!
I was born in West Texas and my dad worked in the oil industry at the time. He once told me the Permian Basin has 200 years of oil in it. It's so sad we're not utilizing our domestic energy advantages!
↳ So much for his promise to lead the forces of freedom in the 'battle between democracy and autocracies'... The United States is sitting on 264 billion barrels of untapped oil — more than any other country on the planet.
That was possibly the worst speech by a US president in my lifetime. It absolutely missed the mark of the moment and took no true responsibility of the current situation.
He has been my political hero since I was about 17. I never met the man, but I greatly admired his approach to government and politics. He was a true patriot and great American. Happy birthday, Sen. Goldwater.
Such an amazing video. I know people don’t wanna admit we’re actual normal people with emotions, but we are. Very touching moment here between one of my favorite couples out there! Damn proud to have

Hard pass. The District of Columbia was designed to be a neutral zone from the several states. No one makes anyone live there. If they want representation that badly, Maryland and Virginia aren’t far. Never should DC be a state.
Why Statehood?

🗳️200,000 Veterans don’t have a vote in Congress
🗳️712,000 DC Residents pay more taxes than 22 states and they don’t have a vote in Congress

It was a great conversation about two important topics. If Arizona can stay on the cutting edge of both issues, we will keep this state's momentum heading in the right direction for years to come! I'm committed to both. Thank you for making time to meet with me!

We are still at work finishing a couple of policy items, including a big water bill. We’ve had protestors here for a few hours now. As I heard it, some either banged on Senate windows or broke them and then DPS launched smoke bombs to disperse the crowds. Pure chaos for a bit.

I didn’t accept because I’m proud to serve in the House and I take my Commerce chairmanship seriously. It was an honor to be nominated for sure but it’s better for LD2 for me to stay put.
