Arizona elected me to solve problems and fight for our state in the Senate — and that’s exactly what I’ve done this year. From returning money to Arizonans to passing a historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished. #FullSpeedAhead

And that’s just the start. I’m working to get bipartisan legislation across the finish line to grow Arizona’s microchip manufacturing industry, help address the microchip shortage and lower costs, and create more good-paying jobs — all while bolstering our national security.

That’s why I worked to pass the bipartisan infrastructure package, which will transform our state’s infrastructure for the needs of the 21st century, create thousands of high-paying jobs for Arizonans, and build an economy that works for everyone.

I helped pass two COVID relief bills to distribute vaccines, get direct relief to Arizona families, and help small businesses keep their doors open so our economy could begin to recover. But we can do more than just repair our economy — we must reinvent it for the future.

When I was sworn into office a year ago, we were at the height of one of the worst economic recessions in our nation’s history, caused by a once-in-a-century pandemic. Right away, my top priority was getting vaccines in arms and getting our economy back on track.

On every mission I completed in the Navy and at NASA, there was a support team that made it all possible. Now, I need to build my biggest support team yet. If you want to join this people-powered campaign and help us defend this seat in 2022, text MISSION to 98478.

As we recover from this pandemic, Arizona families are struggling with the rising costs of gas, groceries, and housing. I’m working hard in the Senate to get our economy back on track, cut taxes for working families, and lower costs for Arizonans.

It was a pleasure to work with Mayor Lord as she advocated for her community and helped me understand the needs of Goodyear. She’ll be remembered as a dedicated public servant who always fought to make her city a better place.

Arizona elected me to the Senate to solve problems with science, data, and facts. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing in the Senate, where I’ve been working with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to find common-sense, bipartisan solutions to the issues Arizonans care about.

For years, we’ve been talking about the importance of improving our existing water infrastructure, securing Arizona’s water future, and expanding access to clean drinking water in our state. I’m proud to say AZ will soon receive support to do just that.

Today on the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we honor the memory of the thousands of Americans who lost their lives defending our country — nearly half of whom were killed serving aboard the USS Arizona.

Supply chain issues in microchips manufacturing are raising costs on everything from computers to cars — and it's hurting Arizona families. I’m focused on growing Arizona’s microchip industry, which will create thousands of jobs in Arizona and lower costs for working families.
