Jon Kyl gave Arizona nearly three decades of principled, thoughtful leadership — and he gave me something just as valuable: his mentorship and friendship. I'll miss him deeply. Rest in peace, Senator Kyl.

Excited to join @HarvardIOP this year as a Fellow. We’ll be talking to students about how we turned around our state’s finances while shrinking government and cutting taxes, expanded educational opportunity for Arizonans with universal school choice, and helped to elect more Republican governors through the RGA.
We're pleased to introduce our IOP Fall 2026 Resident Fellows: Ambassador Kelly Craft, Governor Doug Ducey, Ambassador Chris Lu, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Ambassador Nathalie Rayes, and Chris Whipple! Learn more: iop.harvard.edu/fellows

Arizona’s ESA program serves more than 100,000 students, and that number will continue to grow. No child should be trapped in a failing public school. In Arizona, We TRUST parents—not government unions—to make the best decisions for their children. Thank you to the @GoldwaterInst for leading the charge alongside @ClarkRimsza @AZlovesESAs and @azfec to protect parents’ rights to choose the best education for their children.

I’m proud to support @JayFeely in this critical race. Since arriving in our state as an Arizona Cardinal, Jay has become a staple of our community, both on the field and off. I encourage all Arizonans in district 1 to join me on Team Feely and vote for Jay this November.
Honored to have the endorsement of @DougDucey #AZ01 is one of the most crucial seats in the country, and Republicans are uniting to win it. Governor Ducey balanced our budget, cut taxes, and made AZ the nation's leader in school choice. Honored to have him on #TeamFeely!

I’m proud to join the Board of @EdChoice to help advance Milton and Rose Friedman’s vision of educational freedom. In Arizona, we embraced that vision by passing universal school choice, putting parents - not politicians - in the driver’s seat. I look forward to helping EdChoice bring that vision to all 50 states!
We are pleased and excited to announce that former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has joined the EdChoice Board of Directors! As one of the nation’s most accomplished educational freedom leaders, we know Doug will help us continue our fight for truly universal school choice programs for families nationwide. Welcome! @DougDucey

Very troubling, but not surprising. These out of state unions think so little of AZ parents that they’re even willing to hire criminals to strip parents of the right to spend their tax dollars on the education they think is best for their kids. Shameful.
School choice is under assault in Arizona, but the teachers union's effort might fail because they relied on felons convicted of heinous crimes—including manslaughter, kidnapping, human trafficking & sexual abuse of a minor—to do their dirty work. 🧵 washingtonexaminer.com/resto…

💯 Two types of countries in the world… 1. Those on the metric system. 2. Those that put a man on the moon. 🇺🇸
Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate. Fahrenheit feels like temperature was designed by an human being who walks outside, feels the air, and says, “Yeah, that makes sense.” Zero is freezing. 100 is brutally hot. 70 is comfortable. 80 is warm. The numbers feel like what they are describing. Celsius feels like it was designed by a committee of people who hate joy and want every conversation about the weather to sound like a chemistry lab. “It’s 22 degrees outside.” What does that even mean to a normal person? Am I wearing shorts? Am I grabbing a jacket? Nobody knows. You need a conversion chart and a government employee standing next to you explaining the vibes. Fahrenheit gives you range. That’s the point. It gives you more numbers for the temperatures human beings actually live in. You can feel the difference between 68, 72, 76, and 80. Those numbers matter. Fahrenheit lets you describe the world with more precision without having to break into decimals like a lunatic. And here’s the other thing... Celsius is connected to the metric cult energy that came out of the French Revolution. And the French Revolution was evil. Both of the Revolution were to rip out tradition, faith, monarchy, hierarchy, the Church, the calendar, the clock, and anything that reminded man he was not God. CELSIUS IS INHERENTLY EVIL So yes, Celsius may be useful if you’re boiling water in a lab. Congratulations. But Fahrenheit is for living LIFE because Fahrenheit is for walking outside and instantly knowing what kind of day you’re about to have. 100 means hot. 70 means beautiful. Zero means don’t go outside unless you have a death wish. That’s a real system.

Out-of-state special interests and their union allies are trying to take educational scholarships away from the children of Arizona’s military families. That is why today, we are proud to launch Protect Military Families PAC @ProtectMilFam. Our mission is simple: keep Arizona’s promises to the families who have served our country by protecting their children’s education scholarships. Read our announcement below. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Parents are showing up to counter teachers union lies about school choice in Arizona. This is how we stopped them from getting enough signatures to block school choice in 2022. The teachers union monopoly must be stopped.

Americans owe a great debt to our veterans - a debt we will never be able to fully repay, but this election we can show them that we are grateful. We must pass this in November.
Arizona made a promise to military families. We should keep it. The Military Families College Savings & Scholarship Protection Act will let voters protect scholarship funds for the children of active-duty service members, veterans, and those killed in the line of duty. Military families aren't a political piggy bank. A promise made should be a promise kept. Thank you to Rep. @MichaelWayAZ for sponsoring this important measure! goldwaterinstitute.org/az-co…

We believe Arizona thrives when individuals—not bureaucracies—are empowered to make decisions for themselves, their families, and their businesses.

Want to know why school choice is worth protecting? Just take a look at this report. Arizona charter schools as a group, on 8th grade NAEP scores, out performs every other state in the nation and light years better than the performance of traditional public schools.
