This weekend, I saw a lot of Arizonans who are fired up and ready to put in the work to re-elect @JoeBiden and restore reproductive rights after last week’s disastrous ruling. But we need your help — can I count on you to join us? ➡️

Let’s be clear: Arizona women lost their right to an abortion because Donald Trump succeeded in overturning Roe v. Wade. I won’t stop fighting until we restore reproductive rights for Arizona women.

Today's decision by the Arizona Supreme Court reinstitutes a total abortion ban from the 1800s. This is the biggest step backward since the repeal of Roe v. Wade. Make no mistake, this is happening because of Donald Trump. We must work to restore abortion rights this November.

. @RubenGallego will bring people together to solve real problems, like creating good-paying jobs and supporting veterans. Meanwhile, Kari Lake uses politics to divide us and is more focused on trying to overturn election results than she is on real challenges facing Arizonans.

Cesar Chavez was a great Arizonan whose tireless advocacy for farmworkers resulted in improved working conditions for our entire country. On #CesarChavezDay and every day, I’m grateful for him and all of those who sacrificed to advance workers’ rights in America.

Joe Biden has a record to run on in Arizona: ✅ Bringing back microchip manufacturing ✅ Reducing drug prices for seniors ✅ Rebuilding our infrastructure All Trump did was cut taxes for the wealthy and take away women’s rights.

It takes real leadership to share such a personal story like this. @EvaBurchAZ is right: Every Arizonan should be able to make their own reproductive health decisions. We must elect more leaders like Eva who will keep fighting to restore these freedoms.

Today marks 14 years since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, increasing access to quality health care and protecting those with pre-existing conditions. It’s been life changing for countless Arizonans, and it’s not going anywhere on my watch.

This week was a BIG week for Arizona. These new investments in microchip manufacturing happening in Chandler will generate thousands of great-paying jobs you can raise a family on — jobs that don’t require a four-year degree.

This Tuesday is the Presidential Preference Election, and that means it’s time to show we’re behind @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris . It’s too late to put your ballot in the mail, so head to to find your nearest polling or drop off location.

Gabby and I were devastated when we learned Rahul had passed. Rahul was as tenacious as he was smart, but our team will always remember him for his kindness. He was a central part of my re-election team, and his work changed the country for the better. He will be very missed.

Tonight’s State of the Union made the case clearly: If we want to continue lowering costs, creating great-paying jobs, and protecting reproductive freedom — we need to keep President @JoeBiden in the White House.

. @RubenGallego is the type of leader who can bring people together to solve real problems. As a Navy guy, I’ve always been glad to have a Marine in my corner, and now I’m going to fight to get this one elected to the Senate so we can continue delivering for Arizona, together.

Former President @NezForAZ has been an important partner of mine in delivering for the Navajo Nation — like on rural broadband and clean water. I’m endorsing his campaign for Congress so he can bring that same leadership to Washington.

My dear friend Gabe Zimmerman would have turned 44 today. Gabe was killed at my side on January 8, 2011 in the Tucson shooting. His love for Arizona and passion for serving his community inspires me every day. I miss you, Gabe.

A lot of great reasons in here to visit Phoenix this time of year, but dinner at Barrio Cafe or catching a bite and a show at Cocina 10 and Crescent Ballroom are a couple of my favorites.

Repealing Roe v Wade and the right to an abortion was always just the beginning. Government has no business telling women how they can or can’t start a family. The way we put a stop to this is by electing leaders who will restore these freedoms.
