HB2471 would automatically terminate emergency declarations after 14 days, unless the Governor calls the legislature into special session to address the emergency. This important bill would allow the legislature to put a check on the Governor’s emergency powers.

HB2471 passed the House 31-28, and passed the Senate Government Committee, but is currently being held in the Senate Rules Committee. Contact Senate President Karen Fann ([email protected]) and tell her to put HB2471 on the Rules agenda, and then bring it to the Senate floor for a vote.

In January, Governor Ducey challenged the legislature:

“Let's think big and find more ways to get kids in the schools of their parents' choice. Send me the bills and I'll sign them."

Sadly, the legislature is yet to pass a school choice bill this session. The only significant school choice bill that even moved was SB1657. This bill expands ESA eligibility to low income students, students with parents who are veterans & students in a school district that is not offering in person schooling or that is imposing unlawful mandates.

SB1657 passed the Senate 16-12, & passed House Ways & Means, but is currently being held in House Rules.

Contact House Rules Chair Travis Grantham ([email protected]) and respectfully ask him to put SB1657 on the Rules Agenda. Then contact Speaker Bowers ([email protected]) and ask him to bring SB1657 to the floor for a vote. Last session, Speaker Bowers prevented a very similar bill from advancing to the floor.

Republicans should boldly support school choice by passing SB1657

The Republican Liberty Caucus proudly endorses Andy Biggs for Congress in AZ-5. Andy Biggs continues to be an unwavering advocate for individual liberty and smaller government. He was one of the top scorers on our 2021 scorecard, earning a 95. Let's keep this principled freedom fighter in Congress!

RLC endorsements for federal offices must be approved by both the national RLC board and the active state charter board in that region. This means Congressman Andy Biggs has full support from the RLC and the RLC-AZ!

Sen. Rand Paul is one of the few people in the Senate who has been consistent on this issue throughout the years. We cannot afford any new spending. We must reduce spending and restore fiscal sanity. #StandWithRand #CutSpendingNow

Watch his floor speech from earlier today: https://rumble.com/v14i68x-dr.-rand-paul-the-biggest-threat-the-u.s.-faces-is-inflation-debt-and-destr.html

The Republican Liberty Caucus proudly endorses Kelly Cooper for Congress in AZ-04.

Yesterday, a Democrat Senator made a motion to suspend rules and allow a gun control bill to bypass committee and come straight to the floor for a vote. Senator Warren Petersen then shreds the argument that more gun laws will keep us safe.

Thank you Sen. Petersen for defending our inalienable right to defend ourselves!

“These proposals to ostensibly cut the tech giants down to size would, instead, perpetuate the dominant position of these companies and deprive consumers of the technological innovation that only free-market competition can provide.”

In his new op-ed, Senator Rand Paul explains why we should always defend free market principles: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/anger-big-tech-excuse-abandon-free-market

Sponsored by Rep. Ben Toma, HB2853 would expand eligibility for Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, so every K-12 student may have the opportunity to go to the school of their choice.

Public schools must not have a monopoly on education. Let’s advance school choice for every student and family, by funding students instead of systems. We support HB2853.

HB2853 is scheduled for the House Ways and Means Committee tomorrow, Wednesday, June 15th.

Great to see Governor Ducey sign Sen. Nancy Barto’s bill, SB1469. Glad to support this bill that protects privacy and due process, while upholding the 4th Amendment.

Thank you Congressman Thomas Massie for always defending our constitutional rights! Red flag laws violate the 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments. The politicians supporting red flag laws have betrayed their oath to the Constitution and should be voted out.

Thank you Rep. Travis Grantham
for holding these bad, crony corporate welfare bills! We need more principled legislators like Rep. Grantham who are not beholden to special interests!

Thank you Arizona House Republicans! School choice is liberty! #FundStudentsNotSystems
