John, I just signed Arizona’s bipartisan budget.
Not only does this close the state’s $1.8 billion deficit, I’m proud to share that this new budget also makes important investments for everyday Arizonans:
🥙 Allocates $3.8 million to provide 1.5 million meals to working-class students.
💪 Funds my SAFE (Stopping Arizona’s Fentanyl Epidemic) Initiative by providing millions of dollars to equip first responders with lifesaving overdose reversal medications, fuel the Counter Drug Task Force, and grant resources to support border communities fighting drug trafficking.
🏘️ Protects last year’s historic $150 million investment in the Housing Trust Fund and commits an additional $15 million to build more affordable housing.
👪 Secures $12 million to expand access to affordable, quality childcare for everyday Arizonans.
John, I knew working together with a Republican-led state legislature was going to be an uphill battle.
Still, from day one, I’ve focused on delivering solutions to our state’s most pressing issues without letting petty politics stand in the way.
But I know we can do so much more. Flipping the state legislature blue this November would clear the way for us to make leaps of progress for Arizona. Can you help me get it done by pitching in $10 today?
