Scripture tells us that praying for our Gleaders is one of the best ways we can do this. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NKJV). It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles.

    Governor Doug Ducey Senator Karen Fann, Senate President Arizona State Capitol Executive Tower Senator Rick Gray, Senate Majority Leader Representative Rusty Bowers, Senator Rebecca Rios, Senate Speaker of the House Democratic Leader Representative Ben Toma, House Senator Lupe Contreras, Assistant Majority Leader Senate Democratic Leader Representative Reginald Bolding, Senator Martin Quezada, Senate House Democratic Leader Democratic Whip Representative Jennifer Longdon, Senator Victoria Steele, Senate Assistant House Democratic Leader Democratic Whip Representative Domingo DeGrazia, Arizona Senate House Democratic Whip Arizona House of Representatives February 24, 2021 FOR ELECTRONIC DELIVERY Dear Governor Ducey and leaders of the Arizona legislature: Our organizations are influential throughout the state advocating for a diverse range of issues that Arizonans care deeply about. We do not often have the opportunity to work together, but we do so at this critical time to urge you to pass a state budget that builds a stronger future for all Arizonans with investments in infrastructure, health care, and jobs. Arizonans are concerned with how they and their families will get through this health and economic crisis and they are looking to you to provide the investments that foster job training and skill acquisition; and assist working families struggling to afford the basics. You can choose which road Arizona will take toward the future: one in which the state adequately funds vital resources so that all Arizonans have the supports needed to move up the economic ladder or a fiscally irresponsible and disastrous path for Arizona’s future that relies on cutting taxes and shuts the door on Arizona’s economic growth.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
