I just joined my fellow Arizona Democrats and walked off the floor of the Arizona State House to prevent a vote on the Republicans’ irresponsible $1.7 billion tax cut for the wealthy.
Proud of my brave colleagues. Stay tuned, this is happening right now.

I’m a son, a brother, and a bilingual kid from Tucson. I’ve been a nurse’s assistant, a campaign organizer, a school board president, and a state legislator. When I see a problem, I get to work to fix it. 🧵
510 out of over 2.5 million ballots cast is what the race for attorney general came down to. Don’t ever say your vote doesn’t matter.
Congrats again to

Donald Trump’s campaign paid more than $2.7 million to individuals and firms that organized the January 6 rally that led to violent rioters storming the U.S. Capitol.
The board is set folks we have the MAGA slate of Republicans statewide.
We must do everything we can to elect
@katiehobbs
Governor,
@krismayes
Attorney General, and
@Adrian_Fontes
Secretary of State.
Too many things are on the line for us to sit idly by.

My heart breaks for the LGBTQ Community in Wilton Manors where two people were killed as truck drove into the crowd at
#Pride2021
Let’s keep these people in our thoughts.
ALERT: The Arizona legislature is trying to BAN any mention of the LGBTQ community in our schools. I’m speaking out against this shameful targeting of LGBTQ children and erasure of LGBTQ communities.
Unfortunately, I have tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19.
I'm thankful to be vaccinated and boosted, and am currently asymptomatic and quarantining at home.
Stay safe Arizona! Please get the vaccine and booster if you haven't already.
I interned for Gabby Giffords in Congress. It was the honor of my life. I was also there on the horrific day where a gunman made an attack on her life & killed 6 others. This issue is personal. We can’t let the NRA & the GOP stand in the way of saving lives. RT if you agree.
100k+ new ballots counted today and the red wave continues to grow. And by red wave I of course mean Kimberly Yee’s margin.
Dems still leading in all other races for executive offices. In 14 years of working on campaigns as a Democrat I’ve never been more excited.
Good morning, Arizona!
Here to announce new funding awards and to see how Tucson and Phoenix plan to use some of the infrastructure dollars coming their way.
I was a 20 year old intern when my life changed. I wish I hadn't waited until I was impacted to act. Now I share my story as we close out
#GVSurvivorsWeek
Arguing for letting businesses ignore local mask requirements, one Arizona legislator questioned why masks are recommended to stop the spread of COVID-19 but were not recommended to stop the spread of AIDS
The Holocaust was recent enough that there still remain survivors.
As they pass we must ensure that we combat the rising tide of antisemitism that is growing in this country.
Honored to be joining
@POTUS
at the signing of the Respect for Marriage act. And thrilled to be able to bring my mom as my plus one to the White House.
I hope you’ll join me today in remembering the victims of Jan 8th. My life and that of all of Southern Arizona were changed forever. I’m thinking about the victims we lost that day and wishing for peace for their families.

Six years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution guaranteed a right to same-sex marriage in all 50 states. On June 26, 2015, love prevailed.
BREAKING: I'm running for House in the new AZ District, which could be the MOST competitive district in the country — it’s now a Biden +0.1 district.
We need all hands on deck. Can you make a donation to my campaign to help us win this toss up seat?
🚨FIRST TV AD🚨
Whether it’s fighting for gun reform, voting rights, or protecting a woman’s right to choose, I’ve stood up to the bullies and extremists at the State Capitol and I’ll do the same thing in Washington DC.
Watch here and help us keep it up.
Dad health update.
He’s going under for an emergency surgery.
Could use positive thoughts and prayers.
Also pics of your pets for when he gets out he misses his dog. 🐶
I just introduced an amendment to the Republican budget to remove our state dollars going to Crisis Pregnancy Centers.
Let’s invest in sex education and affordable birth control. If you really wanted to avoid unintended pregnancies we would do this and not fund fake clinics.
I’m Daniel Hernandez. I’m a Democrat, State Rep, & I’m running for Congress in Arizona’s 2nd district to be the first Latino ever elected to the seat. I’m a proud gay man, the first in my family to go to college, & I want to help AZ families. RT & follow if you agree this matters
Political violence is real and our rhetoric should attempt to take down the temperature. I’ve seen first hand the results with 6 murdered and 13 injured at an event with
@GabbyGiffords
I hope all are okay but that this reminds all candidates to turn down the heat.
I’m a Gay state representative, child of an immigrant, and lifelong Arizonan running for Congress to ensure that every American has a chance to succeed in our country.
Could I get a like, RT, and follow so I can reach 30k followers by the end of the day? 💪
After six incredible years it’s been an honor to serve the people of Southern AZ.
Leaving the house as a member for the last time with boxes of memories.
Good luck to
@Hernandez4pima
taking over for my seat!
Please share my speech today opposing this awful bill in the AZ.
It would give docs a felony for doing their jobs. Using the disability community as cover instead of helping them.
Why?
To force a fight at the Supreme Court and overturn Roe.

The anti-Israel protests are not just about Israel’s policies in Gaza it’s about a rising tide of antisemitism.
Hatred of Jews has been simmering under the surface and now people feel like they can openly harass, intimidate, and threaten Jews.
We must all stand against Jew hate
In the face of recent anti Semitism Tucson came together tonight to stand together with our Jewish community. Here’s some snippets

Enough is enough. Doctors and women, not politicians should be the only ones making healthcare decisions about what you can or can’t do with your own body. Check out our new TV ad below:
Las Vegas Raiders DE Carl Nassib comes out as gay
He also announced a $100K donation to the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ youth.
SERIOUS QUESTION:
Do Americans deserve to know the names of every Republican who asked Trump for a pardon for being involved in the January 6th insurrection?
Yes 👇 Yes 👇 Yes 👇
The worst part of tonight’s debate is the constant stream of lies and the lack of fact checking by CNN of Donald’s lies.
Our choice is clear
@JoeBiden
who has fought for us for decades or a felon and liar who doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
#OutforBidenHarris
Today’s verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse sends a dangerous signal in a country already plagued with gun violence.
Seeing the tragic effects of this first hand, I am incredibly saddened that our lawmakers have failed to create meaningful change to protect our community.
One of my favorite songs growing up was
#JustAGirl
by No Doubt. After all these years it was amazing to see
@gwenstefani
hit every note and perform it live
Today, Republicans chose to attack transgender youth, roll back reproductive health care and voting rights all while ignoring the real problems facing our state.
Horrific bills signed by the governor today do not reflect the Arizona I know and love.
Spent the afternoon in gorgeous 78 degree weather at the July 4th festival in Sierra Vista.
I also made a new friend and I’m taking him home!

As a survivor of the Jan 8th shooting where

As a gun violence survivor I'm so grateful to the grassroots volunteers who step up to lead.
Lawmakers have failed us too many times, so we’re going to replace them with candidates with a proven track record of fighting the gun lobby and for gun safety.

This is huge momentum for our brand new campaign for Congress.
Now: I need to raise $5,000 this weekend. Please retweet this & chip in here if you can:
Thankfully symptoms continue to be mild. A bit tired and a slight tickle in my throat but other than that feeling fine. Thanks to those for checking in.
My father is going on his second week in the hospital recovering from his surgery. He’s on the mend but has a long recovery.
As an openly gay state legislator in AZ—today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia—I want you to know I'll never stop fighting for LGBTQ+ equality.
That's why I'm running for Congress.
Can you RT, like, and follow to help me win?
