Officially wrapped up 8 wonderful years in this chamber! I’ll miss it in the house, but see you all soon! It’s officially 4:06am, and I am off to close this chapter! 📖💖🙋🏽‍♀️

As we inch closer and closer to #StartYourOwnRumor, check out my Goldwater #SineTie I’ve been wearing all day.

Arizona families are working harder than ever, but too often it feels like government wants a bigger share of every paycheck. That's why House Republicans fought for a budget that puts families first. The result? $1.43 billion in cost-of-living tax relief, no state tax on tips or overtime, expanded tax relief for families and seniors, protection for school choice, and funding for public safety. As House Speaker @SteveMontenegro said, families are tired of politicians treating their paycheck like government property. This budget puts more money back where it belongs: in the pockets of the people who earned it.

Even in our darkest moments, there is always sunshine waiting on the other side. Challenges may test us, loss may change us, but hope never leaves us. Tonight, I’m reminded that faith, family, and perseverance carry us forward. Congratulations to our graduate—your future is bright, and the best is yet to come. 🎓☀️ #Graduation #Hope #Family #KeepMovingForward

Provides a mechanism for a court to enter judgment of conviction of a class 1 misdemeanor if certain requirements are met after a person is convicted of a class 4, 5, or 6 felony that doesn’t involve a dangerous offense.

🚨MAJOR TAX RELIEF FOR ARIZONA FAMILIES IS ON THE WAY 🚨 After months of fighting for Arizona families, House Republicans have secured a budget agreement that will deliver major wins for taxpayers, workers, parents, seniors, and students. This budget proposal includes: ✔️ $1.43 billion in in cost-of-living tax relief ✔️ No state tax on tips ✔️ No state tax on overtime ✔️ Expanded child tax credits ✔️ New childcare deductions ✔️ Retirement tax relief for seniors ✔️ Protection for school choice ✔️ Funding for public safety At a time when families are facing higher costs for groceries, gas, housing, and childcare, House Republicans are still fighting to make sure Arizonans keep more of what they earn. This budget agreement reflects the priorities House Republicans have championed from the beginning: affordability, responsible spending, school choice, public safety, and government accountability. Promises made. Promises kept. Read more here: azhousegop.com/arizona-house… #AZHouseGOP #AZMajorityWorks #ArizonaFamilies #TaxRelief #Arizona

As Chair Public Safety in the Arizona Senate, I'm proud to support public safety and our first responders. SB1400 ensures the men and women who protect our communities have access to confidential support resources so they can continue serving Arizona. #AZLeg

Signed into law! This bill allows judges to reclassify some Class 4, 5, or 6 felonies as Class 1 misdemeanors for qualifying first-time, non-violent, victimless offenses after they complete their sentence and remain crime-free for 5 years. Expected to take effect in September or October and sunsets in 2028. Thank you for your work on this @RepTonyRivero !

May was a busy month at the Capitol. The Governor vetoed the Republican budget and unions are moving to restrict school choice for Arizona ESA families. Read my May newsletter for the full update. #AZLeg #ArizonaESA #EducationFreedom

The Arizona Legislature unanimously passed a bill that could reclassify certain felony convictions as misdemeanors for first-time offenders. It now heads to the desk of Gov. Katie Hobbs. ktar.com/arizona-politics-ne…

✅Rep. Tony Rivero’s Second Chance Bill Heads to Governor After Unanimous Passage “HB 2749 is about accountability, redemption, and common sense. When someone commits a nonviolent, victimless offense, pays their debt, completes every requirement ordered by the court, and proves for years that they are living the right way, Arizona should not force that person to carry a felony label forever. This bill protects public safety, excludes victim crimes, and gives deserving people a fair chance to work, find housing, support their families, and fully rejoin their communities.” -@AZHouseGOP Rep. @RepTonyRivero, sponsor of HB 2749.

I look forward to working with @DavidFigueroaO & the state of Sonora. Great meeting!

Interoperability saves lives. When first responders can communicate across agencies in real time, we give them every advantage. Great visit to @YavapaiSheriff and proud to champion this work in the Senate. Thank you to @MatthewGress for joining the tour! #SchoolSafety #AZLeg

Thank you all for the incredible love, prayers, kind words, and support you have shown our family. We are truly humbled and grateful. Many have asked how they can help. As we work through Daniel’s final expenses and obligations, we would be grateful if you would share our GoFundMe with your friends and family. Your prayers, generosity, and support mean more to us than words can express. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/daniel-blackm…

Statement from the Blackman Family on the Passing of Our Son, Daniel K. Blackman It is with deep sorrow and broken hearts that our family shares the passing of our beloved son, Daniel K. Blackman. Daniel was deeply loved and brought strength, laughter, joy, and love to all who knew him. He was a cherished son, brother, family member, and friend whose presence touched countless lives. His absence leaves an immeasurable void in our hearts. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we find peace and comfort in the restored gospel and in the eternal promise that through Jesus Christ, death is not the end. Though we grieve deeply, our faith reminds us that families are forever and that we will see Daniel again. During this incredibly difficult time, we respectfully ask for prayers, compassion, and privacy as our family mourns and prepares to honor Daniel’s life and memory. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 Our family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, kindness, prayers, and support we have received. Additional information regarding services or memorial arrangements will be shared at a later time. With love and gratitude, The Blackman Family

Every child learns differently. Every family knows their child best. That is why over 100,000 Arizona families have chosen ESAs — and why school choice will always be part of who we are as Arizonans. #AZLovesESAs #SchoolChoice #EducationFreedom

Katie Hobbs says her efficiency plan can save Arizona $100 million. That’s a pittance when taxpayers may have watched $2.8 billion go out the door to sober-living fraudsters. A simple data package could have found the fraud before the money went out.

Happy Mother’s Day to my wife Joyce, and all of the mothers in Arizona! I hope you all enjoy the day with your loved ones.

Never take your mom for granted - wish her a Happy Mother’s Day today. One day you won’t able to ever again and that will be for the rest of your life. The feeling is so hollow. I discovered that three years ago. Give her a big hug, too. Love you forever, like you for always, mom.

To all the moms, grandmothers, and mother figures: Thank you for the countless ways you make the world a better place. 🌺❤️
