Republicans are creating a national school voucher program that will leave public schools with less funding and abandon students with disabilities. Arizona already has school vouchers and we've seen the consequences. I'm fighting to give every kid a fair shot.

For the first time in over 50 years, humans flew around the Moon. That didn't happen by accident. It happened because thousands of people committed to doing something hard. That's what America can achieve when we put differences aside and work together. Let's remember that.

While Trump gave tax cuts to billionaires, 70,000 Arizonans have already lost their health insurance this year because of rising costs. I’m working to lower premiums and protect Medicaid so our families can keep their doctors and rural clinics can keep their doors open.

Every space station needs a good gorilla suit.

We all see how the war in Iran is driving up gas and diesel prices. The result is everything from groceries to deliveries becoming more expensive for Arizona families. Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is actively driving them up. It needs to stop.

Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot at a good education. That's why I’m introducing legislation to repeal federal vouchers and keep public funds in public schools — so schools have the resources they need to do right by our kids.

Gas prices have shot up because of Trump’s war in Iran. In my new Substack post, I wrote about what I’m doing to bring down costs and make life more affordable. https://open.substack.com/pub/chrispappasnh/p/the-cost-of-filling-up?r=5q32qj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

It’s quite an honor to be on the TIME 100 for 2026. When I left the Navy and NASA, I never thought I’d have to defend our rights from a White House trying to bully millions of veterans into silence. I won’t back down, because it isn’t just about me — it’s about every American.

Arizona families are being outbid for starter homes by hedge funds. We can’t let Wall Street turn our neighborhoods into their personal investment portfolios. We need to ban these practices and put families first again.

Ending corruption in Washington is how we make government work better for working families. This Saturday, I'm joining Paige Cognetti and Tiffany Muller for an End Citizens United town hall in Northeast PA to talk all about how we can clean up Congress and deliver for you.

NATO has been the bedrock of our national security for over 75 years. Walking away from our strongest allies during a period of global instability is a serious mistake that makes every American less safe.

When a group of people all work together toward a common goal, nothing is impossible. Artemis II is a perfect example of that. Last week they proved again that America’s diversity is our strength.

Arizona’s farms are being squeezed by record-high gas and fertilizer prices. When it costs more to grow our food, it costs more to feed families. I’m focused on supporting our local growers to keep our food supply secure and your prices down.

Trump’s health care cuts are having real consequences in Arizona. When small businesses can't afford to cover their employees, workers lose coverage, and businesses lose good people.

These folks deserve fair wages and a safe workplace. I'm proud to stand with Unite Here Local 11 and workers everywhere exercising their right to organize.

A lot of kids were looking up at the stars these past 10 days and dreaming of going to the Moon, or being the first person to walk on Mars. That's the impact the Apollo missions had on me, and Artemis II just reignited that for a whole new generation.

Asked the Artemis II crew what kind of ride they're in for on reentry — going from nearly 40x the speed of sound to a 20 mph Pacific splashdown. Won’t be as smooth as a space shuttle landing but I know they can handle it. So proud of this crew.

A new poll shows college students are already changing their majors because of AI. We need to prepare the next generation for this shift. I’m focused on AI safety and job training so that Arizona workers are the ones leading this new economy.

Right now, the math isn’t adding up for middle-class families. Groceries, gas, and housing costs are all high. People need a break. My Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act will put money back in your pocket, and it’s paid for by making rich people finally pay their fair share.

Artemis II is the next step to getting us back to the surface of the moon — and then building a permanent U.S. presence and an economy, just like we did in low-Earth orbit with the ISS. It’s a huge step for our country and humankind.

This Administration is requesting $1.5 trillion for the Department of Defense while cutting health care, education, and other services Americans rely on. Working families are being told there’s no money for what they need, but there’s always money for what Trump wants.

What the President said yesterday was disturbing. I’m relieved he held off on striking civilian infrastructure, but the fact of the matter is that no part of the war has helped the American people in any way.

This is a huge win for the next generation of Arizona innovators and workers. Arizona is putting ourselves on the map as a global leader in advanced manufacturing, and new investments from ASU will help us continue creating great-paying jobs right here at home.

Today, the Artemis II crew is making their flyby around the far side of the moon — 250,000 miles from home!

As the Artemis II crew journeys to the Moon, these images are a reminder of our shared home and humanity. At Easter, as the world reflects on hope and renewal, Gabby and I pray for strength, and for the fighting in Iran, Ukraine, and elsewhere to give way to dialogue and peace.

Happy Easter, Arizona! Gabby and I hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by the people you love.

Artemis II reminds what’s possible when we work together and put our minds to it. Despite all of our challenges, it’s photos like this that give us hope for the future.

Small businesses don't just drive Arizona's economy, they’re its backbone. They take the risks, hire the neighbors, and show up every single day. They deserve a government that shows up for them, too.

Young people were told to get a degree or learn a trade — to put in the work. Now they're entering the toughest job market in years. Young Americans deserve better.

Trump promised to bring costs down. Now, the U.S. postal service is planning to add an 8% tax on packages to cover fuel costs — fuel costs he’s responsible for raising in the first place. Arizonans are paying more at every turn. This isn't what he promised.

The crew of Artemis II is making our country proud. This is just the start of a new era of Moon missions and I couldn’t be more excited.

After more than 50 years, we're going back to the Moon and I couldn't be more excited. Only in America do we have the resources, talent, technology, and the will to lead humanity back.

The cost of everything keeps climbing — driven higher by a directionless war in Iran. Lowering costs is my top priority, and that’s why I’m fighting to cut your income taxes, suspend the gas tax, and make sure our government is focused on families like yours — not just the rich.

The Navajo Nation Council is right. The SAVE Act would make it harder for Native Americans and millions of others to vote. Voting is a right, not a privilege. I'll always stand with tribes to protect the right to vote.

As Women’s History Month comes to an end, I want to recognize all the women who have served our country, from the Revolutionary War to today. Even when our country refused their help, they stepped up and served anyway. They’ll always be a part of America’s story.

Parents across the country are concerned about kids' social media use, whether it’s addiction, data collection, or algorithms pushing them to harmful content. There's real bipartisan agreement to protect children online — and we need to act on it. Our kids can't wait.

Looking forward to welcoming all the March Madness fans to Arizona as Phoenix hosts the Women's Final Four!

You paid into Social Security your entire lives. And I refuse to let it get gutted by this Administration to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.

We’ve always known Trump is an impatient bully. He’d rather strong-arm other nations instead of engaging in diplomacy. He’s attacked multiple and has said Cuba is “next.” While he’s focused on wars, folks at home can’t afford gas or groceries. This needs to stop.

The rest of my bracket isn’t doing so good, but I got one thing right: Nobody is stopping the University of Arizona! Can’t wait to see them in the Final Four for the first time in 25 years. #BearDown

The childcare crisis is hurting families across our state. Arizona loses $3.3 billion every year because families can't access or afford care. We need to fix our childcare system.

Our tax system should work for working people – not just the wealthy. That's why I'm fighting to cut taxes for everyday Arizonans and make millionaires pay their fair share.

POV: Your 90s were slightly different

Phoenix heat is breaking records and it’s only March. Make sure to stay hydrated and check on your neighbors, especially our seniors. Stay safe and cool, Arizona.

There may be a new Secretary of Homeland Security, but the situation will remain the same as long as this Administration continues allowing ICE to operate with zero accountability. I voted against Markwayne Mullin because I saw no evidence that will change under his leadership.

Minutes matter in a medical emergency. Rural Arizonans deserve the same access to care as anyone else – and I’m gonna keep fighting until they get it.

The Affordable Care Act was passed 16 years ago today. For millions of Americans, it meant coverage, peace of mind, and access to care when they needed it most. It's one of the most important protections working families have. And this Administration is trying to get rid of it.

In town to support my friend @chrispappasnh.bsky.social and I couldn’t miss the Manchester Dems St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. The roast is quite the tradition, and no one more deserving of the honor than Senator Donna Soucy. Thanks for taking it easy on me! ☘️

The SAVE Act isn't about securing elections or stopping fraud. Trump has made it clear he wants it passed to protect Republican majorities in Congress in 2026 and beyond — making it harder for Americans to vote. That's not how things are supposed to work in America.

Never stop reaching for the stars! Got to share with some kids what it’s like being an astronaut at the McAuliffe-Shephard Discovery Center in Concord, NH.
