He Is Risen: A Time for Faith, Renewal, and Hope

As we celebrate this blessed Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the enduring promise of hope, redemption, and new life through the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This sacred day calls us to reflect on God's grace, cherish our many blessings, and renew our commitment to faith, family, and the values that strengthen our nation.

In a time of uncertainty, Easter is a powerful reminder that light overcomes darkness, and truth prevails. May we carry that spirit forward - serving one another, loving our neighbors, and standing firm in our faith.

Wishing you and your family a joyful, peaceful, and spirit-filled Easter. May God continue to bless you, and may He forever bless the United States of America.

Strong Jobs Surge Signals Economic Rebound Under Pro-Growth Leadership

The latest jobs report delivered a decisive boost of confidence, with the U.S. adding 178,000 jobs in March-far surpassing expectations and marking a sharp turnaround from prior declines. After years of economic strain defined by historically high inflation, stagnant growth, and workforce uncertainty during the previous administration, this report highlights a meaningful shift in direction. The gains reflect renewed strength across key industries and point to the impact of pro-growth policies championed by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Together, these results underscore a broader economic resurgence-one driven by a focus on American workers, domestic investment, and restoring stability after a prolonged period of economic headwinds.

America Reaches for the Stars Again with Historic Artemis II Launch

In a powerful display of American ingenuity and determination, the Artemis II mission roared to life this week, marking a bold return to deep space exploration. After overcoming delays, the Space Launch System lifted off successfully, carrying a crew of four astronauts into orbit and setting the stage for humanity's first journey back toward the moon in more than half a century.

Though the mission will not land on the lunar surface, it represents a monumental leap forward. The crew will travel farther into space than any humans before them, circling the moon and returning home after a 10-day voyage-an extraordinary feat that reflects the strength of American leadership in science and exploration.

This mission is more than a technological achievement-it's a symbol of renewed national ambition. As NASA continues to push the boundaries of what's possible, Artemis II paves the way for future missions, including plans to once again place American boots on the moon in the coming years. At a time when the world looks skyward, the United States is once again leading the charge-proving that the spirit of exploration is alive, strong, and unmistakably American.

Hobbs Veto Shows Contempt for Conservative Voices and Arizona Tradition

Arizona Governor Hobbs' veto of legislation this week to honor Charlie Kirk is a disgraceful display of partisan bias. This wasn't about process-it was about silencing a conservative voice and denying recognition to someone who inspired millions of young Americans to stand up for their country.

Arizona has a long tradition of honoring impactful leaders, regardless of politics. By blocking this tribute, Hobbs made it clear that if you don't align with her ideology, your contributions don't matter.

I find this decision not only disappointing but deeply divisive. At a time when we should be uniting to honor those who shaped our national conversation, the governor chose petty politics over principle-and Arizona deserves better.

Another Preventable Tragedy: Failed Border Policies Continue to Cost American Lives

How many more Americans must suffer before we admit the obvious? Yet again, a violent crime has been tied to an illegal alien who should never have been in this country to begin with. According to news reports this week, a Venezuelan national-allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration-now stands accused of multiple murders in a North Carolina sanctuary city.

This is the direct result of reckless open-border policies and the dangerous "catch and release" approach that prioritized politics over public safety. Even more alarming, sanctuary city policies prevented proper cooperation with federal immigration authorities-creating a system where criminals are shielded while law-abiding Americans are left vulnerable.

I'm fed up with the consequences of years of weak leadership under the Biden administration, where open-border policies and soft-on-crime sanctuary jurisdictions created the conditions for tragedies like this to happen again and again. Americans are paying the price for these failed decisions. The contrast today is clear-under Donald Trump, we are seeing a renewed commitment to enforcing the law, securing our borders, and putting the safety of American citizens first.

District Highlights!

It's always a busy time during the Easter district work period. This week, I was happy to be back home in Arizona's Ninth Congressional District-away from the dysfunction of Washington, D.C. and focused on what truly matters: meeting with the people I serve.

From attending the Yuma County Fair to celebrating our heroes at the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day cookout in Lake Havasu City, I had the opportunity to connect with hardworking Arizonans and honor those who have sacrificed for our freedoms. These moments serve as a powerful reminder of the values that make our communities strong.

I also toured the Arizona Western College Law Enforcement Academy in Yuma, where I met with dedicated recruits preparing to serve and protect our communities. Their commitment to public safety is inspiring and reinforces the importance of supporting law enforcement at every level.

While in Yuma, I also visited Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, where I met with our Marines and saw firsthand the critical training and readiness efforts that help defend our nation. The strength and professionalism of our armed forces continue to make Arizona a cornerstone of America's national security.

Returning home each week from the Swamp isn't just a duty-it's essential. It keeps me grounded, informed, and accountable to the people of this district. Listening directly to constituents, hearing your concerns, and seeing the priorities firsthand ensures that I can take your voices back to Washington, D.C. and fight for policies that reflect Arizona values. I will always prioritize time in our communities-because serving you starts with showing up.
