Congratulations to @SearsforArizona on her appointment to the vacant LD9 senate seat! We are in great hands! Looking forward to supporting her in any way I can.
This is a win for Arizonans. Voters sent a clear message in November—keep your hands off of abortion.
“The fight to ensure we are all afforded the privacy and autonomy that so many generations have fought and died for will not end here and Democrats will not shy away from this moment—yes, abortion passed at the ballot, but the work is really just beginning.”
Leader @priya4az (LD18) joined @reproforallAZ, Democratic lawmakers, and activists to outline the bills Republicans let die by failing to place them on agenda: the Right to Contraception Act, the Right to IVF, and the Right to Privacy Act.
Democrats’ commitment to keep government out of your bedrooms and out of your private lives remains paramount. Arizonans voted to control their futures—we are in this fight with them. #azleg

The judge's ruling reaffirms what Arizonans made clear when they passed Prop 139: the right to make personal medical decisions belongs to individuals, not politicians. This is a victory for freedom, privacy, and the will of the voters. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

We're starting #WomensHistoryMonth celebrating Gov. @katiehobbs! From forgiving medical debt, to working to protect our water, and signing abortion rights into state law, Gov. Hobbs has been a champion for Arizonans.

If you haven’t noticed, Republicans (from D.C. to AZ) can only ever find “waste” that helps working people. #azleg

Senator @EvaBurchAZ (D, LD9): "Undocumented immigrants are more likely to postpone or skip medical care already and I'm wondering if this question, added to the confusion or reluctance, do you think that would be a bad outcome?"
Senator Rogers (R, LD7): "It's not my job to determine if someone is dissuaded from care."
So much for "making America healthy again," huh?
➡️Watch Senator @EvaBurchAZ explain that throwing up any further barriers to access medical care in our state will not benefit anyone. #azleg
Today I dropped bills to make heath care affordable, protect pregnant employees, and make it safer to treat for an opioid overdose, among others. I believe in a better Arizona, and I look forward to the day when legislation like mine has a fair shot in the Arizona Senate.
Congratulations to Judge Cruz on such a historic nomination!
HISTORIC NOMINATION 👩⚖️ Gov. Hobbs has nominated Judge Maria Elena Cruz to the Arizona Supreme Court, the first Latina and person of African descent to be nominated to the court. tinyurl.com/bdb83eet
If we get this wrong, the cost is in human life, and I think that the people of Arizona should have an accounting of how those monies are being spent. I hope that this audit will serve to improve confidence in the distribution of these funds, and to provide accountability that
There was a very public dispute between the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Governor about the use of these funds. I can’t overstate how important it is for these monies to be utilized responsibly. 1/

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we must all recommit ourselves to the same principles Dr. King and countless other civil rights leaders have dreamed of and fought for: justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
