Proud to be a part of this historic state budget. This goes a long way to solving problems we face as a state – problems of education, infrastructure, debt payoff, water supply, and many more. Not only are we investing in our future, but it’s completely bipartisan. pic.twitter.com/9y2Cz93OaP

Over the last eight years, Arizona has made responsible decisions to live within our means, reduce burdensome government regulations and increase trust in our citizens — and the result is a booming economy with record revenues. 1/
