Former Chief of Staff to Governor Doug Ducey| Former Speaker of AZ House of Representatives| When I speak, I speak for me. No need to blame anyone else.

The day was inevitable, but still arrives like a punch to the gut. Jon Kyl was the leader we all claim to want: Honest, fair, kind, smart, principled. A bridge-building, committed conservative. A personal mentor, the leader I aspired to. RIP, Senator.
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.

Maybe let’s pass on sending any more extremists to Congress. They already exceeded their quota. #AZ06
JoAnna Mendoza is dishonest and hiding the truth by trying to delete her past. She doesn't want AZ06 to know her extreme comments and positions that define who she is and what she would do. JoAnna - the voters in the district deserve to know why you scrubbed all your social media before running for Congress? 🦗🦗🦗 @Mendoza4AZ azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

Senator John McCain on Senator Jon Kyl in 2012: "I've always looked up to Jon as my senior. He's been my leader, my senior partner in much of the work we've done in Arizona, my friend, and one of the people I most look up to in this place…"

When “no bueno” would say the same thing.
Re: President Trump’s proposed dividend: 1. I would have described the he Trump Dividend as “Biden Inflation Reparations” 2. I’d suggest how to pay for it (allow one time conversion if IRA/401(k) to Roth accounts at a flat tax of 15%) 3. I wouldn’t spend the money on wealthy people. I’d spend it all on defense and low income Americans who are working. 4. People objecting to the cost of the proposal have forgotten the ticket price of the Biden “Build Back Better” massive spend in 2021 which I believe was more than $5K per adult.

At some point, the byline starts looking less like reporting and more like a fan account. Eight years rent-free will do that.

I’ve said this before, but it’s basically worth repeating on a daily basis. How can people who in their own lives and workplace see that disorganization and incompetence is the rule, rather than the exception, think the political workplace is any different? these conspiracy theories require you to believe that everything you know about life, from your own world, is somehow different with human beings who happen to be in elected office.
If you’re online you’re seeing conspiracy theories about McConnell’s recovery & Graham’s passing. Here’s @scottwongDC, @brennanleach & myself on how the Senate grapples with a world where there’s a lack of trust, and people feel they can’t verify. nbcnews.com/politics/congres…

An employee of a local TV station mentioned my name in a post recently, misleading some to believe that I was a source regarding ESA and school-choice legislation. This is not true, nor have I communicated with said individual in several years. #LeaveMeAlone

Behold, The Man and the Mantle.
Budget bills are being voted on now! Which means the gigantic honor @KirkAdams once bestowed upon me is almost here. Keyword almost. Like the last 40 miles of a long road trip, #StartYourOwnRumor is coming, but not yet. Likely tomorrow. You’ve been forewarned. Stay vigilant.

Math don’t lie:
Hi @TucsonRomero. AZ cities/towns receive more State shared revenues because of the Flat-Tax. Over the past 5 yrs, AZ municipalities have seen 32% budget growth, fueled by $7B+ in excess revenue. That number is projected to hit $11B by 2028! Hope this answers your question!

I hate this news. Mark was brilliant, funny, intense. He loved Susan and was devoted to his girls. In 2014 debate prep I insisted he make no Grateful Dead references during the debate. He made no promises. Working with him was like trying to restrain a tornado. It was amazing.

Our state and country owes more gratitude to this man than will ever be fully appreciated. I owe it too. A leader, an example, a mentor. His public service is widely known, his private kindness and grace less so but just as impactful.
