  • "Your daily reminder that Senator Mark Kelly supports taxing the working class to pay off upper middle class degree holders’ student loans" (x.com)
  • "Meanwhile, Governor Ducey should call a special session *now.* Get the legislature back to work so they can tighten up our election laws. Starting with universal voter ID for every kind of ballot — nothing less is acceptable." (x.com)

  • "We have to make election security a priority. We simply must, or the U.S.A. will be gone forever. It starts with stopping the indiscriminate mass mailing of mail-in ballots, and requiring voter ID for every ballot, mail-in or in person." (x.com)
  • "There are 54 nuclear power plants in America. They are on average 40 years old and are gradually being decommissioned. With *HALF* of the $740 billion wasted on the "Inflation Reduction Act" — $370 billion — we could instead be building 50 new 1,000 MW nuclear power plants." (x.com)

  • "Joe Biden and Mark Kelly ERASED our border with Mexico and incentivized more than 5 million illegal aliens to come here. If you like illegal immigration and fentanyl, Mark Kelly’s your guy. If you’re sick of it, vote for me." (x.com)
  • "We need to secure our border and Build The Wall. The correct amount of illegal immigration is ZERO. We need to support our police and make our streets safe again. We need to revisit how many people we let into this country legally each year, and whether we’re focused on the kind of immigrants that actually help America. Finally, we need to focus on the actual threats to American security, not whatever Washington’s latest obsessions are. In Congress I’ll work hard every day to make Arizonans safe and secure from any threat, whether it’s cartel violence, the radical Islamic terrorists that Biden likes to fund, or a rising China." (www.blakemasters.com)
  • "No citizenship for people who come here illegally, ever" (x.com)
  • "The Democrats want open borders so they can bring in and amnesty **tens of millions** of illegal aliens — that’s their electoral strategy. Not on my watch." (x.com)
  • "What to do? We should supply the Ukrainians as they fight for their country. We should support the Europeans as they get up off their knees. We should sanction Russia so that Putin and his cronies feel the consequences. And we should keep our own military out of this." (x.com)
  • "A serious country has priorities. Our own border is more important than Ukraine’s." (x.com)
  • "Mark Kelly has voted to send more than $50 billion to Ukraine. But he can’t find $10 billion to secure our own border." (x.com)
  • "What to do? We should supply the Ukrainians as they fight for their country. We should support the Europeans as they get up off their knees. We should sanction Russia so that Putin and his cronies feel the consequences. And we should keep our own military out of this." (x.com)
  • "This is extremely dangerous. To be clear, TikTok is dangerous too — it’s more or less a CCP spy program. But this bill is an example of a government solution that’s as bad or worse than the problem it purports to address." (x.com)
