ARIZONA – Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) took his fight against Republican-led cuts to Medicaid, the Trump Administration’s cuts to the VA, and the impacts of Trump’s ongoing trade war home to Arizona.   Over the last two weeks, Senator Gallego embarked on a statewide town hall tour to address the real-world consequences of this administration. He visited Flagstaff, the Yavapai Apache Nation, and Phoenix, where he heard directly from Arizonans on how the chaotic and detrimental decisions from the Trump Administration are impacting their daily lives.   While in state, the Senator also participated in a bipartisan panel discussion hosted by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, visited small businesses impacted by Trump’s tariffs, and underscored his commitment to fighting for legislation that prioritizes Arizona.

NORTHERN ARIZONA — Many constituents were not happy with the process of Rep. Eli Crane's (R-Ariz.), “Telephone Town Hall,” held live on April 9, 2025 from Washington, D.C. In his Facebook page, Crane stated "Thank you to the more than 8,000 constituents who took the time to join me for tonight's Tele-Town Hall. It's an honor to represent you in Washington, DC." However, even Crane admitted there were problems with the effort. "For anyone who wasn’t able to join, here is a full unedited recording." Those who couldn't get into the Tele-Town Hall voiced their displeasure on his Facebook page "We have also called multiple times saying it wasn’t active, I gave up after 30 minutes. I don’t even believe you held this. How long was the town hall? 10 minutes? Or zero minutes. You are a fraud and don’t represent anyone but MAGA voters. That isn’t your job, you represent all of us. You are what is wrong with this country right now, blindly following Trump and letting our country be trashed!"
