Important article. David Gilkey was my best friend. His death was devastating — and seeing the Pentagon bury freedom of the press feels like losing him all over again. This is more than un-American. It’s a threat to every freedom we hold dear. https://t.co/1wiHRei5CX

I’m ready to sit down with my Republican colleagues to keep premiums from spiking and end this shutdown. They’re not even here.

For 30 years, I’ve lived, worked, and fought for this community. AZ01 is my home — and it deserves a leader who knows it, not another recycled candidate. I’m a new kind of Democrat with real ties, real experience, and bold, sensible solutions for our district’s future.

So fun doing yoga with @azld4dems on a beautiful Sunday. Doors open, fountain trickling. So soothing! Breathing, hope and inspiration were the order of the day. And a fantastic class led by Elita! 🇺🇸

At least someone is representing AZ01 in Arizona! Thank you @SenMarkKelly and @SenRubenGallego!1
.@SenRubenGallego and I are in Washington and ready to work out a deal to reopen the government, but Republicans are heading out of town. Hundreds of thousands of Arizonans are going to see their health care premiums double or even triple in price if we don't act, and it's time

STATEMENT BY RICK McCARTNEY ON CHICAGO I.C.E. RAIDS: They came into our neighborhoods like an occupying force — ripping families from their homes, dragging children into the street, and using military tactics on ordinary Chicagoans. This is an outrageous assault on civil

STATEMENT BY RICK McCARTNEY: The government shutdown is here — and it didn’t have to be. Once again, Republicans have refused to negotiate in good faith for the American people, and this time their dysfunction has shut down our government. This isn’t just politics. It’s people’s

Thank you Marco. Now to work … for the people of this great community! 🇺🇸
I endorsed @RickMcCartneyAZ months ago b/c he’s the only Democrat who can win CD1. With Schweikert out, it’s more urgent than ever to unite behind the proven leader who built his career in business, will fight every day for Arizona families, & won’t forget who he serves. MORE 👇🏽

Vouchers are costing us and are defunding education in ways that are dismantling Arizona education at a time when we need to empower it! @RickMcCartneyAZ
After 3 years of universal vouchers in AZ, we know that vouchers aren't free — and the impacts are costing us. Vouchers have destabilized school funding, leading to school closures & teacher layoffs. The true cost of this program is being paid by AZ's students & their families😢

Help me stop this President from spreading lies about our healthcare and medicine. @RickMcCartneyAZ
The cost of living keeps moving in the wrong direction. The President’s answer? Declare war on Tylenol.

Or 2026. We must act to stop this tyrant and the takeover of our Constitution!
Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

Vouchers in Arizona have become a system of fraud and drain our public schools!
🔊 MUST LISTEN: School vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. A scam built on the false promise of “school choice” that represents a massive transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top.
