Dear Friend,

I hope you and your family are staying healthy and well. Today, we honor and remember our brave men and women who have served our country on this Memorial Day. I cannot thank our men and women in uniform enough for the sacrifices they have made to protect our freedoms. 

God bless.

New Interview on TheFirst

I joined Dana Loesch on her new program "No Apologies" last week to discuss a variety of issues including where our economy is headed, to the impact of the Democrats' increased spending. Currently, we are seeing consumer prices rise, more individuals staying home on unemployment, and small businesses across the country struggling to re-open to full capacity without workers. 

Right now, it is important that we focus on re-creating a healthy American economy. We have seen the positive impact pro-growth policies have had in creating economic growth, yet we are continuing to see that Democrats are eager to un-do much of the success Republicans achieved from tax and regulatory reforms. It is time to help individuals return to work, and promote policies to help grow the economy.

Letter to President Biden on Iran Nuclear Deal

It has been reported that the Biden Administration is close to finalizing an agreed pathway with Iran for the U.S. to return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and as a result, give sanction relief to Iran. Following this news, I led a letter with several Members of Congress to President Biden urging him against lifting any sanctions on Iran, and urging the President not to rejoin the JCPOA, commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal.

The United States has imposed sanctions on Iran because of their involvement with militant terrorist groups in the region. Following the most recent attacks against Israel, it is imperative that we continue to maintain sanctions as Iran has long been financing terrorism throughout the region, particularly towards Hamas and Hezbollah. Following the rise in anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric in our public discourse during and after the most recent conflict, it is important that the United States stands in firm opposition to any actions that could impact safety and security of Israel.

 Important Unemployment Insurance Update 

Individuals who have claimed Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) on or after December 27, 2020, are required by federal law to submit proof of employment, self-employment or proof that they planned to begin work, but were unable to do so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Individuals who do not submit documentation will be disqualified from the PUA program and will be required to repay any benefits received after December 26, 2020. Read more about this update on the Arizona Department of Economic Security (AZ DES) website here.
