Op-Eds
Time and again, cartel members and human smugglers have shown they have no regard for human life. They weave through traffic at breakneck speeds to avoid capture and deliver their illicit contraband. They are chased by law enforcement through neighborhoods and on highways.
The consequences of these high-speed chases are devastating and often end in tragedy.

The American dream is our national ethos, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve today.

Caring for those who defended our nation is not a responsibility we take lightly.

Just a little over six months ago, the world witnessed as Israel was terrorized at the hands of Iran-backed Hamas. October 7, 2023, will go down as the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The unprovoked attacks – egregious acts of war – cannot and will not be forgotten.
This week Congress passed legislation that fulfills one of its constitutionally enumerated powers: H.R. 2670, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA is a crucial piece of legislation passed annually to support our men and women in uniform, outline our national security priorities, and ensure we have the most lethal fighting force in the world.
Arizonans send their tax dollars to Washington, D.C., with the expectation that their money will be used to enhance infrastructure, support public services and benefits, and invest in the well-being and future prosperity of their community.
