Cheers to Russ Wiles on a storied career at @azcentral (33 years!). The state will miss his keen business acumen and deep reserve of knowledge. He’s sure seen a lot! @azmoneynews

Hard to find a more clear indication of Arizona's economic transformation over the last decade. Smart policies and leadership have taken Arizona from just one of the pack to LEADING the pack year after year.
ARIZONA WINS GOLD 🏆 For the fifth year in a row, Arizona wins a Gold Shovel from Area Development magazine, recognizing best-in-class economic growth statewide. In addition, #TSMC’s 2024 fab announcement was named a “Manufacturing Project of the Year.” https://t.co/yT3ALSD5EU

So proud of my wife!
In 5-0 vote (following probably the least prosecutorial DINO meeting I've seen), Senate panel recommends confirmation of Kathryn Ptak as director of @ArizonaDCS. Ptak was previously general counsel for DCS and adopted one of her daughters from the child welfare system.

Plus he’s a @DaytonFlyers!
Before @JonHusted was Speaker of the Ohio House, the state had 9 income tax brackets, a 7.5% top rate, & every dollar of earnings was taxed. He led a long-term tax cut trend. Now Ohio has just 2 tax brackets, a 3.5% top rate, & hundreds of thousands don't owe income tax.

Katie Ptak is one of the most qualified and competent people I know to lead the Department of Child Safety. Her personal experience as a foster-adoptive mother brings a level of empathy Arizona families dealing with DCS deserve. I hope the State Senate takes up her nomination
