This is a great opportunity for young Arizonans to learn skills that will prepare them for good-paying jobs for years to come. The future of tech manufacturing is in Arizona.

Arizona already has universal school vouchers, and it’s led to wasted money and underfunded schools. Now, Congress plans to spend tens of billions of your tax dollars to take it nationwide. I’m fighting to stop this to protect public education and our kids’ futures.

Words can’t describe the pain the Shreveport community must be feeling.

Kids deserve to feel safe — especially at home — but gun violence continues to rob them of that freedom. We have to do more to stop it.

Gabby and I are keeping the families of the victims in our thoughts.

Sat down with Latino small business owners at Chilte in Phoenix. These are people who built something from nothing — and they're getting hit from every direction right now. Tariffs, rising costs, customers cutting back. They deserve leaders who show up and fight for them.

It’s becoming far too common for corporate landlords to buy up single-family homes by the thousands, pricing out hardworking people from owning a home. We’ve got to crack down on these predatory practices and build more housing.

As AI advances, we have to make sure it benefits all Americans — not just the wealthy few. That's why I’ve got a plan to train students and workers with the job skills they need, so they won’t be left behind.

Corporate money has flooded our politics. You can't claim to represent working people while cashing checks from the big companies. That’s why I don't take a dime of corporate PAC money. Everyone in Congress should do the same.

Republicans are creating a national school voucher program that will leave public schools with less funding and abandon students with disabilities. Arizona already has school vouchers and we've seen the consequences. I'm fighting to give every kid a fair shot.

For the first time in over 50 years, humans flew around the Moon. That didn't happen by accident. It happened because thousands of people committed to doing something hard. That's what America can achieve when we put differences aside and work together. Let's remember that.

While Trump gave tax cuts to billionaires, 70,000 Arizonans have already lost their health insurance this year because of rising costs. I’m working to lower premiums and protect Medicaid so our families can keep their doctors and rural clinics can keep their doors open.

We all see how the war in Iran is driving up gas and diesel prices. The result is everything from groceries to deliveries becoming more expensive for Arizona families. Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is actively driving them up. It needs to stop.

Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot at a good education.

That's why I’m introducing legislation to repeal federal vouchers and keep public funds in public schools — so schools have the resources they need to do right by our kids.

Gas prices have shot up because of Trump’s war in Iran.

In my new Substack post, I wrote about what I’m doing to bring down costs and make life more affordable.

It’s quite an honor to be on the TIME 100 for 2026. When I left the Navy and NASA, I never thought I’d have to defend our rights from a White House trying to bully millions of veterans into silence. I won’t back down, because it isn’t just about me — it’s about every American.

Arizona families are being outbid for starter homes by hedge funds. We can’t let Wall Street turn our neighborhoods into their personal investment portfolios. We need to ban these practices and put families first again.

NATO has been the bedrock of our national security for over 75 years. Walking away from our strongest allies during a period of global instability is a serious mistake that makes every American less safe.

When a group of people all work together toward a common goal, nothing is impossible. Artemis II is a perfect example of that. Last week they proved again that America’s diversity is our strength.

Arizona’s farms are being squeezed by record-high gas and fertilizer prices. When it costs more to grow our food, it costs more to feed families. I’m focused on supporting our local growers to keep our food supply secure and your prices down.

Trump’s health care cuts are having real consequences in Arizona. When small businesses can't afford to cover their employees, workers lose coverage, and businesses lose good people.

A lot of kids were looking up at the stars these past 10 days and dreaming of going to the Moon, or being the first person to walk on Mars.

That's the impact the Apollo missions had on me, and Artemis II just reignited that for a whole new generation.

Asked the Artemis II crew what kind of ride they're in for on reentry — going from nearly 40x the speed of sound to a 20 mph Pacific splashdown. Won’t be as smooth as a space shuttle landing but I know they can handle it. So proud of this crew.

Right now, the math isn’t adding up for middle-class families. Groceries, gas, and housing costs are all high. People need a break.

My Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act will put money back in your pocket, and it’s paid for by making rich people finally pay their fair share.

Artemis II is the next step to getting us back to the surface of the moon — and then building a permanent U.S. presence and an economy, just like we did in low-Earth orbit with the ISS. It’s a huge step for our country and humankind.

This Administration is requesting $1.5 trillion for the Department of Defense while cutting health care, education, and other services Americans rely on. Working families are being told there’s no money for what they need, but there’s always money for what Trump wants.
