In my first interview since undergoing cancer treatment, I share my journey and my commitment to serving Arizona. After 22 impactful years in Congress, I’m ready to pass the torch to the next generation, but my work isn’t done just yet.

My dedicated team and I have been hard at work in Arizona and D.C. I continue to engage with my colleagues on critical issues in the Natural Resources and Education & Workforce Committees, actively reviewing, cosponsoring and introducing bills such as the Great Bend of the Gila National Monument Establishment Act.

I have also secured over $11.9 million in federal funding for community projects in our District this year alone, not counting the millions of dollars that have been awarded to our District from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, both of which I supported.

Additionally, I’ve introduced amendments, including one that would provide for the installation of solar power for US schools to reduce energy costs and provide an uninterrupted learning environment to students.

And just recently, because of my advocacy, the Department of Homeland Security issued a new directive ordering agents to improve the handling, processing, and return of personal property to migrants at CBP Short-Term Holding Facilities. This marks a significant victory on an issue I’ve highlighted for years.

I look forward to continuing to serve my constituents and thank you for your continued support. ...
