The Babbitt family has long been known for their dedication to Arizona. Former Flagstaff Mayor Paul Babbitt Jr. was no exception.

A longtime public servant, the impact of his legacy will be felt for generations to come.

We’re finally addressing the gun show loophole and expanding background checks.

Thanks to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that I was proud to help pass, we’re making communities safer and saving lives while protecting Arizonans’ Second Amendment rights.

FISA is vital to our national security, from preventing terror attacks to helping us recover ransoms from hackers.

We can’t let politics get in the way of reauthorizing the tools our intelligence agencies rely on to protect Americans, while preserving civil liberties.

.NASA is looking for their next class of astronauts! The deadline to apply has been extended to April 16.

If you’ve ever dreamed of flying to the moon, or maybe even Mars, this could be the universe calling to you.

This backwards law is 160 years old, but it's only being reinstated because of politicians who worked to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This is a difficult day, but I'll keep fighting to restore reproductive rights so Arizona women can once again make these decisions for themselves.

The Arizona Supreme Court just set reproductive rights in our state back by two centuries, and now Arizona women will lose the right to an abortion.

This will criminalize doctors for doing their jobs and have a devastating effect on the health of Arizona women and families.

It's an exciting day for Arizona! This grant from my CHIPS and Science Act and TSMC's commitment to investing more in our state is going to create tens of thousands of jobs. We're leading the way in bringing the most advanced chip manufacturing back to America.

Solar eclipses have captured people’s attention for thousands of years, and today’s is no different. While Arizona may not be in the path of totality, Arizonans can still see a partial eclipse.

Be sure to use safe solar viewers when you’re looking up!

More than 20 years ago, we lost Space Shuttle Columbia and her crew of 7 brave explorers, who were my friends. I was glad to help tell their story for the new docuseries premiering this Sunday on CNN at 9:00pm.

Since it was discovered at Lowell Observatory, it’s only fitting that Pluto would find a home as our state (dwarf!) planet.

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Lou Conter, the last living member of the USS Arizona’s final crew. After surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lou continued serving our country, going on to become a decorated naval aviator.

It was an honor to meet with President Yoon on our visit to South Korea.

We discussed the critical job of U.S. servicemembers stationed there, and how strengthening military cooperation is essential to bolstering security in the region and deterring our adversaries.

Rep. Grijalva is as dedicated a public servant as they come. Gabrielle Giffords and I are here to support and are thinking of him and his family.

This is a tragic loss for the Tucson community. Being a police officer is a difficult and dangerous job. Gabby and I are keeping Officer Adam Buckner's family and loved ones and the entire Tucson Police Department in our thoughts today.
