The Tongass National Forest is the lungs of our country—its health is critical if we want to breathe clean air. For the last 5 years, I’ve led the charge to keep the forest alive, and I’m excited the @forestservice is protecting it from road building and logging. — PolitiTweet.org

We are three weeks into January, and there have been 40 mass shootings in the US. I’m proud to have made progress in combatting gun violence last Congress, but truly ending the gun violence epidemic will require getting rid of the filibuster. That’s the simple truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Like so many Arizonans, I’m deeply concerned for those experiencing homelessness. We need affordable housing, and that’s why I’m proud to have secured $8.5 million for homelessness support services and housing in Arizona. https://t.co/1fA0ppmwOP — PolitiTweet.org

House Republicans want to cut Medicare and Social Security. Hardworking Arizonans paid into those programs—I won’t let the GOP strip them away. https://t.co/T5yPCihLIM — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I head back to DC to fight for Arizona families. Let’s get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we should have been celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, extremist officials ripped away the right to choose, leaving women in Arizona and too many other states without basic reproductive freedom. But make no mistake: this fight isn't over. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The recent instances of political violence should be concerning to all. We are seeing extremists in our country and around the world increasingly willing to turn to violence to achieve their aims. Every politician who fails to publicly denounce them is complicit. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

House Republicans spent their first week making their priorities clear: raise taxes on the middle class, cut Social Security & Medicare that you paid for, and protect wealthy tax cheats.   Not a single word about fighting inflation or lowering costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Arizona can't grow, thrive, or survive without a secure water supply. Our situation will only worsen if we don't make major investments and policy changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

I don't listen to special interests when I decide how to vote in Congress. They didn't send me here, Arizonans did. Whether we are debating voting rights, abortion access, or lowering the cost of prescription drugs, I will always put the voice of Arizona's families first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Proud to once again be a torch bearer for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day March in Phoenix. This is still our moment to fight for justice, equality, and opportunity for all. https://t.co/JCHnWnBsfY — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Today, we honor the life and legacy of MLK, and recommit to working towards his vision. MLK saw America not for what it was, but for what it could be. His commitment inspired generations, and I keep his spirit with me in the fight for justice, equality, & voting rights for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Patients are the only ones who should be making decisions about their healthcare. To all the extremist politicians who think they know better: You don't. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Thanks to @HouseDemocrats and the Inflation Reduction Act, a month of insulin is now capped at $35 for seniors on Medicare. But Medicare recipients aren't the only ones being burdened by high insulin costs. We should expand the cap to every American. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The U.S. should not provide shelter to Bolsonaro or any of the instigators of the Jan. 8 insurrection. Proud to join my colleagues in urging @POTUS to cooperate with the Brazilian authorities' investigation and potentially revoke Bolsonaro’s US visa. https://t.co/4gKYwRtiFG — PolitiTweet.org

The Gallego family is growing! Like millions of other families, the road to pregnancy did not come easy. But we are blessed that Michael will gain a little sister. https://t.co/ihdraPlRRu — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation is down for the sixth month in a row, while the past two weeks alone have seen unemployment fall to a 50-year low. Wages are rising, but I know too many Arizonans are still seeing unacceptably high prices at the grocery store. Congress has work to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

I voted for the PACT Act to help every generation of toxic-exposed veterans get the VA health care & benefits they earned. To John from Glendale: Thank you for your service too, & for reaching out to share your story of how the PACT Act is finally giving you the care you need. https://t.co/rQfuaMP3xL — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

House Republicans put two new anti-abortion bills on the floor yesterday. They are doubling down on their war against women. I stand with the majority of Arizonans who support reproductive freedom, and I will continue voting against these abhorrent bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The price of eggs is out of control in Arizona with folks paying more than $6 per dozen. This is unsustainable and incredibly burdensome for low-income families, which is why I wrote a letter to the Secretary of Agriculture demanding answers. https://t.co/OpxJyo9oQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ducey's shipping container vanity project cost Arizonans $200 million. It’s time for real solutions for border security and immigration reform, not publicity stunts. I'll keep fighting for comprehensive solutions and more federal resources for Arizona's border communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

House Republicans voted to gut the House Ethics Committee, eroding their ability to investigate improprieties. You can't complain about Congress being "broken" if you are the one breaking it. We need more transparency in Washington, not less. https://t.co/DBhVXwbYJC — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

House Republicans just passed legislation allowing the nation's wealthiest to cheat on their taxes. The same bill raises our deficit by more than $114 billion. Billionaires don't deserve a break; hardworking Arizona families do. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Today, Congress *finally* gets underway, a week overdue. I'll reiterate: I'm ready to get to work with my colleagues to lower costs and build safer communities. But I'm also ready to stand up when extremists push their anti-working families agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

The images of insurrection we are seeing in Brazil today are disturbingly similar to those we saw at the Capitol on January 6th. Right wing extremists everywhere are increasingly emboldened in their attacks. Democracy must, and will, survive. 🇺🇸🇧🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

Gabby Giffords’ story is one of optimism, strength, and tireless advocacy. 12 years after the tragic shooting in Tucson, she’s remained committed to creating an America that’s safe for everyone. Gabby truly embodies who Arizonans, and Americans, should strive to be. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Incredibly frustrating news. Bump stocks are an obvious attempt to skirt the National Firearms Act’s machine gun ban. There’s no practical use to them, and they don’t belong on our streets. — PolitiTweet.org
