Spoke at the Oro Valley’s 24th annual State of the Town Address. 

Last week, it was great to join the 24th Annual Oro Valley State of the Town event and it was an honor to introduce Oro Valley’s Mayor Joe Winfield.

I’ve always been proud to work with leaders like Mayor Winfield in Oro Valley to secure funding for bridges, grow local opportunities, and strengthen our communities.

Thank you for inviting me to this special celebration.

Hearing from Constituents. 

I was able to speak with first responders and join a meeting in my Tucson office to discuss important issues. These types of conversations on top issues equip me to best serve you as your voice in Washington.

Resumption of H-2A Labor Certification Process. 

Another consequence of the Democrat-led shutdown - visas were not ready for the upcoming harvest. Thank you to President Trump, Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Russ Vought for your leadership to ensure the resumption of the H-2A labor certification process. 

This is essential to ensure farmers receive the labor support they need and that our nation has the fresh produce it depends on this winter. 

OCTOBER: Crime Prevention Month Resolution. 

I joined the bipartisan Crime Prevention Month Resolution to reaffirm support for Crime Prevention Month, which occurs every October and commends law enforcement officers, first responders, educators, violence-intervention specialists, and community leaders who dedicate themselves to prevention and survivor support.

Preventing and combating crime in our communities is something every American deserves.

This commonsense, bipartisan resolution acknowledges our support for every law enforcement officer, first responders, educators, community leaders, and so many more. I’m proud to join my colleagues in honoring National Crime Prevention Month.

Attended LIBRE Breakfast. 

It was great to join the LIBRE Initiative at a breakfast to talk with those from our community about protecting prosperity and keeping the American Dream alive.

In 2025, LIBRE launched its Protecting Prosperity campaign – built on the idea that the American Dream is becoming harder to achieve, and that by protecting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and driving good policy, we can unleash our economy.

Following the victory of passing the H.R. 1, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act in July, LIBRE has been working with community leaders and the grassroots to educate on the importance of the bill and the key provisions that will help communities.

By continuing to advance smart energy and economic policy, we’re helping Arizona families and businesses thrive.

Thank you for having me and for the important discussion.

Profiles of the American Dream

It was a front-page story in The Tonkawa News in the early autumn of 1955 when Jack D. Bewley left his hometown in Oklahoma to head off to U.S. Naval flight school in Pensacola, Florida.

The article included a picture of the smiling young naval cadet, proudly in uniform, and noted he lettered in football, basketball and track at Tonkawa High School before continuing his education – and playing football – at Northern Oklahoma Junior College.

Local boy does good. Standard fare for small town newspapers back then. Jack, in fact, was something of a front page regular in Tonkawa. He made it again in 1956 when he qualified as a carrier pilot and yet again in 1957 when the newly promoted Ensign Bewley earned his wings.

Little did they know at the time, but this kid from a town of about 3,500 residents was embarking on a journey that would put him at the forefront of protecting and defending the American Dream.

Now a resident of Oro Valley, Jack went on to serve our country honorably and bravely for 30 years, retiring with the rank of captain after a distinguished career as a decorated combat fighter pilot and elite aircraft trainer. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, his squadron ranked among the best, winning the prestigious “Top Gun” award three years in a row. During combat tours in Southeast Asia, he flew over 200 missions in North Vietnam, encountering hostile fire during most of them and sustaining aircraft damage on multiple occasions. Jack’s many commendations include the Combat Distinguished Flying Cross and nine Combat Air Medals.

Although Jack was recommended for promotion to admiral, he chose to pursue a commercial aviation career, where he flew for another 26 years. Asked once about the difference between flying for the Navy in wartime and flying commercial jets, Jack quipped that no one shoots at passenger planes.

Jack will be recognized this Sunday, Nov. 9, at the 5th annual Rockin’ 4 Heroes concert at James D. Kriegh Park in Oro Valley. The honor is well deserved.

Thank you for your service, Jack.
