Protecting democracy at home and abroad. 

This weekend, we voted on a series of bills to support our allies but the FIRST vote of the day was on my border security legislation. I am committed to ensuring the safety and security of our nation and its people — both at home and abroad. Watch the below video to hear why I supported each bill.

AZ-06 in D.C. 

One of the best parts of my job is meeting with families, individuals, or organizations from AZ-06 who are visiting Capitol Hill. From advocacy groups to families touring the Capitol, it was great to see so many Arizonans up in Washington this week. Specifically, I met with constituents from the Arizona Restaurant Association and Christians United For Israel (CUFI), two groups in Washington to voice their needs and concerns to Congress. I also visited with the Baierl family and other Arizonans who were here to visit our nation’s capital. Thanks for stopping by! 

Highlighting stories from AZ-06.   

One of my favorite parts of my job in Congress is highlighting the incredible people, organizations, or groups in AZ-06. Last week, I had the chance to honor Tucson Police Officer Adam Buckner on the House floor. Officer Buckner tragically lost his life on March 31st while in the line of duty and it was my great honor to share his story with my colleagues in Congress. Through these floor speeches, I am able to share just a few stories of the amazing people in Arizona’s 6th District each week. If you or your organization would like to be recognized on the House floor, please don’t hesitate to contact my office!

Profiles of the American Dream:Wendy Baierl.

Taking the oath to “support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America” doesn’t have to be in federal courthouse. Wendy Baierl took her oath in a war zone.

It was July 1, 2006, Wendy was among more than 35,000 U.S. troops stationed at the largest military air base in Iraq, Joint Base Balad, 40 miles north of Baghdad.

She was born in Tijuana and joined the military was a step toward her long-term goal of a career in intelligence. Wendy was 20 years old when she became a citizen and had been an Army reservist for three years.

At Balad, Wendy worked in logistics but volunteered in the hospital emergency room. Wendy earned degrees from Cochise Community College and Grand Canyon University, and now works as a nurse at the state prison in Tucson.

“This country has given me a lot and I just want to give back,” she says.

Wendy believes hard work and hustle not lonely play a big part in life but are essential to achieving the American Dream. “As I tell my kids, you get out of it what you put into it.”

Luck is another factor. Wendy’s still in the reserves and – wouldn’t you know it – working in intelligence. “I’ve been really lucky,” she says. “I love both my jobs.”
