Rep. Matt Gress and Rep. Alex Kolodin, two Young Republicans in the Arizona State House of Representatives, share their thoughts on #HB2226 - a bill that establishes a fund for fentanyl testing.
This bill would allow municipalities to better do their jobs in testing for the drug and helping remove it from Arizonan streets.
Gress's fentanyl fund made it into the final budget! Congrats and thank you, Matt!

Congrats, Rep. Quang Nguyen on the passage of #HB2168, a bill that extends our Good Samaritan policies in Arizona!
We should be getting help for people who are victims of substance abuse - period!

State Representatives Matt Gress & Rachel Jones championed those who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) for government positions: supporting qualified individuals who lack a bachelor's degree!
This unanimously passed law, #HB2225, opens doors for thousands of job seekers in Arizona.
Kudos to Rep. Gress for fighting for the working class! 💪🏼

Katie Hobbs VETOED #HB2379, a bill that would prevent the government from FORCING hotel + motel owners to house the homeless against their will.
This policy was used in other states and decimated their hotel + lodging industries and small business owners.
This bill by Representative Matthew Gress was heavily endorsed by Arizona's lodging community.
Unfortunately, Hobbs vetoed the bill despite extensive testimony on behalf of it during committee by a variety of Representatives from all across the state.
Tim Dunn, Steve Montenegro, Rachel Jones, Kevin Payne, and John Gillette all shared their support for the bill during the committee hearing earlier this year.

Katie Hobbs had essentially nothing to do with the budget!
Rep. David Livingston exposes that Gov. Hobbs, including her staff, did not work with the legislature on the budget!

#HB2062, recently signed into law, does a lot more than just create a new license plate.
This legislation will help the Gila River Indian Community and the Ak-Chin Community fund their roads while giving Arizonans an opportunity to support our indigenous communities as they drive from place to place!
Thank you to Whip Teresa Martinez for sponsoring the bill - we can't wait to see you and Rep. David Cook with your new plates!

UNBELIEVABLE. Katie Hobbs vetoed ANOTHER common sense bill.
Rep. Cory McGarr introduced #HB2305, a bill that would require bipartisan observers to be present at each stage of the signature verification process.
The Democrats used a genetic fallacy in their no vote, suggesting that the bill couldn't include bipartisan language because it was sponsored by Republicans. Ridiculous.
One Democrat in a swing district even said she was afraid of allowing "untrained observers into a secure process." ...How can the process be secure if it is unobserved!?
Thankfully Representatives Alex Kolodin and Jacqueline Parker set the Dems straight by the end of the hearing - but Hobbs still vetoed the bill.
Councilman Allen Skillicorn, Representatives @AustinForArizona, Rachel Jones, and Justin Heap, and former State Senate candidate @VoteZipperman all spoke on behalf of #HB2305 during committee.

ANOTHER ONE!
Katie Hobbs vetoed #HB2377, a bill from Majority Leader Leo Biasiucci that would have prevented lobbyists from holding office at any level of government in the state of Arizona.
Why would Hobbs want to incentivize corruption?

KATIE HOBBS VETOES FIREARM SAFETY BILL!
Rep. Selina Bliss sponsored #HB2332, a bill to incorporate a one-time firearms safety training in Arizona's public education curriculum.
This essential training, to be conducted by experts, would have helped prevent tragic firearm-related accidents involving children.
Shockingly, despite receiving support from all Republican legislators and in-committee support from activists + Town Councilman Allen Skillicorn, the bill was vetoed by Hobbs.
Her decision denies firearms safety training to millions of young Arizonans.
How can Democrats possibly claim to prioritize gun violence prevention when they vote against common-sense bills like this?
One Democratic Representative even said that he "knows nothing about guns" - then why is he voting on this bill!?
Rep. Kevin Payne and Rep. John Gillette also voiced their support for this crucial measure in committee!
Arizonans deserve better. Our children deserve better.

WATER ✅ FOR RIO VERDE!
Thank you to Rep. Alex Kolodin for getting a bipartisan solution through the House for the people of Rio Verde.
Nobody in Arizona should go without clean and secure water.
It's time to change how Arizonans deal with our water issues.

Can you imagine working with this every single day?
Arizona's favorite anti-Semitic masker called six nonsensical points of order in a single Floor session on Maj. Leader Leo Biasiucci, @DaveMarshallAZ, Justin Heap, and even the CLERK'S OFFICE.
Salman didn't show up to work for an entire year, defended Bible-lifter Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, and denies Israel's right to exist, yet thinks she has the right to run the entire AZ House? Sorry, Athena, you aren't special.
Salman was one of TWO PEOPLE out of 60 to vote against the bill to save MISSING CHILDREN earlier this week. She also voted against bills to help our Veterans, fund our schools, and lower inflation.

The Federal Government should give Arizona control of our own land.
Some AZ counties, like Gila County, are controlled 90%+ by the Federal Government.
As Rep. Cook says - "we oppose any net loss of private land."
#HCM2002 has been sent to the Secretary of State and the Federal Government has been notified of the legislature's request.

Do you think that all businesses should accept cash?
Rep. Joseph Chaplik believes that Cash is King - and his bill #HB2555 passed unanimously through Rep. Justin Wilmeth's commerce committee earlier this year. It would require businesses to accept cash.
As noted by Rep. Justin Heap, this bill would ensure that people who live on cashed checks are able to thrive.
The bill didn't have time for a hearing in the Senate this year - but will likely be brought back in the future!
