Senator Ruben Gallego

This is government failure at its worst. During the deadliest Texas floods in years, FEMA help was delayed because of a policy requiring Kristi Noem’s PERSONAL approval. We lost 120 lives. 170 people are still missing. I’m demanding a full investigation.

There is zero reason ICE agents should be hiding their faces or identities. This isn’t about safety. It’s about fear theater. And now we’re seeing copycat attacks causing more chaos and violence. It needs to stop.

Why the hell was a wildfire allowed to burn at the Grand Canyon in the middle of July during one of the driest years on record? 
I’m demanding answers and a full investigation from the Department of the Interior.

Visited Davis-Monthan AFB today—seeing their work made it clear these Airmen show how innovation drives readiness. Proud I secured $99M in the NDAA for critical facilities here, helping keep Tucson at the forefront of national defense.

Stopped by El Taco Rústico in Tucson for some great food and even better company in Councilwoman Selina Barajas. A real fighter for Tucson. Small businesses are the heart of our communities. They create jobs, bring people together, and keep our local economies strong.

We're tackling housing from every angle. First: use up to $50k from retirement savings for a down payment, penalty free. Second: updated loan limits so more housing can actually get built.

When it comes to housing, we can't just focus on one piece of the puzzle. We need housing at every level. For the person trying to buy their first home, for someone looking for an apartment, for families using a Section 8 voucher. All of it.

Great visit to GCU today. Met with President Mueller and sat down with students to hear what's on their minds. Affordability, jobs, buying a home. They're asking the right questions. That's exactly why I show up.

Massive SNAP cuts. Rising gas prices. Higher utility bills. Arizona families are getting hit from every angle thanks to Trump’s anti-working class agenda. https://www.azfamily.com/2026/04/08/arizona-food-banks-feeling-pressure-snap-changes-gas-prices-drive-demand/

Mientras Stephen Miller siga en su cargo, seguiremos teniendo problemas con el sistema de inmigración y con ICE. Necesitamos reformas reales, no políticas de caos.

Congrats to Coach Cori Close and UCLA Women’s Basketball on their first ever NCAA Championship win! Proud to have hosted such a historic moment in Phoenix this year. Go Bruins!

Happy Easter, Arizona! I hope you have a blessed day surrounded by loved ones and family.

Great to be in Mohave County this week! There’s a lot happening in our communities right now, and I’ll always be a Senator who shows up, listens, and gets to work.
