Turns out Governor Hobbs was right when she said Arizona voters wanted sanity over chaos. After Hobbs vetoed every border bill put on her desk that would help keep our communities safe, Arizona Republicans sent the Secure the Border Act to the ballot and empowered voters to choose for themselves. Ultimately, Arizona chose sanity over chaos at our southern border by passing Prop. 314. Promises made. Promises kept.

On this sacred day, we remember the ultimate sacrifice—love poured out on the cross. May the solemnity of Good Friday deepen our faith, renew our hope, and inspire us to walk in grace and humility.

🚨 JUST IN: BILL SIGNED INTO LAW When your home is damaged, your business is hit, or everything’s on the line… the last thing you should be doing is waiting weeks for an insurance adjuster. SB 1415, sponsored by @SenatorBolick, is now law — allowing experienced adjusters already licensed in other states to get to work in Arizona without jumping through redundant hoops. That means more qualified adjusters on the ground and faster help when people need it most. ✔️ Broad bipartisan support ✔️ Gets experienced professionals working faster ✔️ Helps speed up claims and recovery Read more: azleg.gov/legtext/57leg/…

🚨 JUST IN: Senate Democrats voted NO on telling students the truth. HB2040 requires schools to be transparent with students about adoption, resources, and real-world outcomes when sex education is taught. That’s it. Information. Transparency. Facts. Democrats still voted no. They didn’t just oppose a bill. They opposed giving students access to basic information about life, choices, and support. What are they afraid of? Republicans voted YES for transparency, informed decisions, and putting students first.
