Greg HAS delivered tangible results to protect ARIZONA’S WATER SECURITY.
Arizona’s water future needs leaders who understand what is at stake and who have the backbone to fight for a fair deal. Greg Stanton believes Arizona can keep growing, competing, and leading, but only if leaders are honest about the limits of the Colorado River and disciplined enough to act before the next crisis hits. Water security is not just about supply. It is about whether the next generation inherits a state that can sustain the life, opportunity, and economic strength Arizona has worked so hard to build.
Greg fights for water because he knows the burden cannot fall hardest on the people and communities who have already done the most to conserve. Arizona has stepped up again and again to protect the Colorado River system, and Greg will not accept an agreement that lets other Basin states avoid their fair share while Arizona families, tribes, farmers, cities, and employers are asked to absorb the consequences. Arizona must not be left with a deal that leaves us paying for everyone else’s delay.
Drought, extreme heat, and long-term overallocation have put Lake Mead and Lake Powell under serious strain, while groundwater supplies face growing pressure from population growth and economic demand. The growing danger is not only that Arizona could have less water, but bad rules, weak negotiations, or federal delays could lock Arizona into an unfair future.
That is why Greg has become one of Arizona’s leading voices in Congress on Colorado River negotiations. He is pressing federal agencies and Basin states to recognize the reality of a shrinking river, require equitable conservation from every state, and protect Arizona’s seat at the table as the post-2026 rules are written. He is not approaching these negotiations as an observer. He is fighting to make sure Arizona’s communities, tribal rights, agriculture, cities, and industries are not treated as bargaining chips in someone else’s deal.
Greg is also delivering the resources Arizona needs to become more resilient, not just more worried. He helped secure historic federal funding for drought relief and long-term conservation, with investments now supporting Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Arizona communities, tribes, and farmers. He has pushed funding into water recycling, groundwater recharge, smart meters, reclamation facilities, drought planning, and local infrastructure so communities can stretch every acre-foot further and build systems strong enough for the climate Arizona already lives in.
Greg’s work also reflects a basic principle of justice. Small, rural, and tribal communities should not be left behind because they lack the tax base or political muscle to compete for water infrastructure on their own. In Congress, Greg wrote the law and secured the funding for the Arizona Environmental Infrastructure Authority to ensure these communities can build and upgrade water and wastewater systems that protect public health, support growth, and prepare for a drier future.
Greg will continue leading the fight in Congress to protect the state’s water future, demanding fairness in the negotiations that will shape the Colorado River for decades, and bringing home the federal investments Arizona needs to conserve, recycle, recharge, and build resilience. He knows Arizona cannot afford denial, delay, or a weak deal. His mission is to make sure Arizona is prepared, protected, and never left carrying more than its share.
Greg’s Record: ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/water at this heading)
Created and expanded the Arizona Environmental Infrastructure Authority, unlocking over $200 million in federal funding for local and tribal water projects.
Delivered more than $36 million directly to Arizona communities—with another $6 million on the way—to modernize local systems, install smart meters, and strengthen drought resilience.
Secured $37.5 million to reopen Tempe’s Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility, allowing the city to recycle millions of gallons of water each day and recharge groundwater for future use.

Greg stanton’s top priority is lowering the costs of living in arizona.
As a leader of the New Democrat Coalition, Greg Stanton played a key role in writing one of the nation’s only comprehensive policy roadmaps designed to make life more affordable for working families by focusing on lowering five core costs for hardworking Americans: health care, housing, energy, family care, and household essentials like groceries.
Despite promising to lower prices “on day one” and “end inflation,” President Trump and Congressional Republicans have failed. Instead, their billionaire-first agenda makes life more expensive across the board for hardworking Americans.
With the Affordability Agenda, Greg and the New Dems are offering a better path to lower everyday costs in the short- and long-term by rolling back harmful policies pushed by Republicans in Washington, promoting competition and supporting small businesses to boost consumer choice, and breaking down regulatory barriers across the government that prevent us from meeting the needs of the American people.
Affordability is a core component of the government’s promise to the American people: if you work hard in this country, you should be able to provide a safe and comfortable life for yourself and your family. Greg’s plan renews the promise of affordability and puts the American Dream back within reach for Arizona’s working class.
Groceries & Household Essentials ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/affordability at this heading)
Restore certainty by rolling back Trump’s tariffs and advancing smarter, durable trade policies.

Greg Stanton trusts women to make their own health care decisions.
Greg Stanton believes decisions about reproductive health care belong to women, in consultation with their doctors and families, not politicians.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, women have been denied emergency care. Doctors have been threatened with prosecution. Families have worried about whether IVF will remain available. Pharmacists and politicians have looked for new ways to block access to birth control and medication abortion.
Greg is fighting back relentlessly. He supports restoring federal abortion protections, protecting the right to contraception, defending IVF and family-building care, stopping the Comstock Act from being used as a backdoor national abortion ban, and protecting reproductive care for veterans.
Greg believes doctors should be able to treat patients without political threats, and families should be able to make deeply personal decisions about abortion, contraception and IVF without extremists in government standing in the way.
Arizona families deserve freedom, privacy and dignity in their health care decisions, and Greg Stanton will never stop fighting to protect those rights.
Greg’s record ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/abortion at this heading)
Helped introduce the Women’s Health Protection Act to restore federal abortion rights and stop politicians from imposing medically unnecessary restrictions on reproductive care.
Voted to protect the right to travel for abortion care, ensuring no woman, including servicemembers and military families stationed across the country, is trapped by a state’s abortion ban.
Cosponsored the Right to Contraception Act to guarantee the right to obtain and use birth control and protect health care providers who prescribe or provide contraception.
Cosponsored the Access to Birth Control Act to stop unnecessary delays and pharmacy refusals that prevent patients from getting contraception prescribed by their doctor.
Cosponsored the Access to Family Building Act to protect IVF and other assisted reproductive technology from extreme anti-abortion legal attacks.
Cosponsored the Stop Comstock Act to prevent an 1800s law from being weaponized as a backdoor national abortion ban against medication abortion and other lawful reproductive health care.
Voted against anti-abortion legislation that would interfere with doctors’ medical judgment, impose one-size-fits-all mandates on complex medical situations, and threaten providers with criminal penalties or loss of licensure for delivering evidence-based care.
Voted against Republican efforts to cut Medicaid and attack Planned Parenthood, because reproductive health care depends on keeping clinics open and care affordable.
Supported VA abortion counseling and limited abortion care for veterans and VA beneficiaries when the patient’s life or health is at risk or the pregnancy results from rape or incest.
Rejected anti-abortion riders in government funding bills that would block VA abortion care and abortion counseling.

GREG BELIEVES PUBLIC OFFICE SHOULD BE USED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE, NOT THE POLITICIAN.
Greg Stanton believes public office should be used to serve the people, not to help politicians, insiders, or special interests cash in.
Congress has the tools to stop corruption, it just has to use them. Instead of serving as a check on Donald Trump, this Republican Congress has been nothing but a rubber stamp. Despite that, Greg has relentlessly fought to claw back the powers of Congress from the executive. He’s led the national fight to reverse Trump’s unlawful tariffs that are driving up costs for working Arizonans.
Greg has voted numerous times to bring our troops home until the president makes his case to the American people and gets authorization from Congress to use military force.
And finally, as the lead Democrat overseeing FEMA, Greg is already leading an investigation into the Trump administration’s diversion of FEMA resources to ICE and pushing accountability at DHS and ICE over inhumane detention conditions. In fact, Greg backed articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem for her lawless abuses of power as Secretary of Homeland Security. Greg knows that Congress makes the laws, and the president only executes them.
Greg believes strongly Congress should use its “power of the purse” to stop illegal, abusive or politically-motivated misuses of federal power. That’s why he’s voted against giving ICE a blank check and why he is refusing to send ICE another dollar until the agency is completely overhauled and real, meaningful reforms are implemented.
In a Democratic majority, Greg will put pressure on House leadership to aggressively issue subpoenas and hold hearings to drag corrupt politicians and public records into public view. And he’ll use every legislative tool available to force the Trump administration to comply with the law and release the Epstein files.
Finally, Greg doesn’t believe public officials should be able to use their access or inside information for personal profit. That’s why he’s helped introduce legislation to ban congressional stock trading, impose enforceable Supreme Court ethics rules, protect inspectors general, and strengthen whistleblower protections.
GREG’S RECORD: ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/corruption at this heading)
Voted for the For the People Act to strengthen voting rights, crack down on dark money, and impose a lifetime ban on Members of Congress from lobbying the federal government.
Voted for the release of the Epstein files and has demanded their full release because powerful people should not be shielded from accountability.
Voted for a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court, including stronger disclosure, recusal, and gift rules.
Helped introduce a ban on congressional stock trading so elected officials cannot profit from inside information or market-moving power.
Backed a more aggressive stock trading ban to include senior administration officials, the president, the vice president, spouses, and dependent children.
Used his oversight role to investigate allegations that the Trump administration misused FEMA resources, delayed or threatened lifesaving preparedness funds, and unlawfully redirected personnel to serve its immigration agenda.
Cosponsored articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem for her failed leadership and reckless and unlawful actions following the tragic deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.
Maintains strict internal ethics standards in his own office, including rules barring staff from participating in predictive market betting related to federal public policy.

Greg is fighting for an education system that keeps its promise.
Education should be a right in this country, not a privilege reserved for families who can afford it. But for too many working families, the promise has been broken at every stage. Child care costs too much before a child ever reaches kindergarten. Public schools are asked to do more with less. Teachers are praised, then underpaid and stretched thin. Students are told education is the path to a better life, then pushed toward debt or a narrow set of options that do not fit every person’s future.
Greg Stanton has a plan to make that promise real for Arizona families: affordable early childhood education, fully funded public schools, respected educators and real pathways into good-paying work. As the son of educators and a father of two, Greg knows strong schools can change the direction of a child’s life and that investing in education means investing in Arizona’s future.
Greg’s plan centers around four primary principles:
Every child deserves a strong start and a fair shot. That starts with affordable child care, universal pre-K, and Head Start so children enter school ready to learn and parents can keep working while raising a family. When they get older, our children deserve fully funded classrooms, strong Title I support, full funding for students with disabilities, mental health care, after-school programs, wraparound services, and universal school meals.
Public money belongs in public schools. Greg firmly believes that public money should be used to strengthen public education, not private school voucher schemes or corporations looking to profit off students. It should also be used to rebuild and modernize school buildings so children are not learning in classrooms with unsafe water, polluted air, extreme heat, outdated systems, or unhealthy conditions.
Educators deserve more than praise. Greg’s parents and siblings chose education as their public calling, and so he feels strongly we should raise teacher pay, invest in the educator pipeline, and make it possible for talented people to stay in the classroom instead of being driven out by burnout and low wages.
Education should open doors after high school without trapping people in debt. That’s why Greg is working to make college more affordable with more short-term Pell Grants, stronger community college pathways, more modern career and technical education, and fully-funded workforce programs that help people gain skills without taking on debt. He also opposes cuts to Job Corps and other programs that give young people a real path into skilled trades and stable careers.
The promise of education should be straightforward: children get a strong start, public schools have the resources to help students thrive, educators are treated with dignity, and every Arizonan has a real path to a good job without being priced out, left behind or told there is only one way to succeed.
Greg’s record ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/education at this heading)
Forced the Trump Administration to release more than $110 million in K-12 funding for Arizona, including money schools rely on for teachers, student support, afterschool programs and English language learning.
Backed short-term Pell Grants so students can use federal aid for job-focused training programs that lead directly to good-paying careers, not just traditional four-year degrees.
Defended Job Corps and Arizona’s workforce training pipeline, including two Arizona centers serving more than 650 students preparing for trades and other in-demand careers.
Introduced bipartisan legislation to strengthen the air traffic controller workforce and address a dangerous staffing shortage that threatens aviation safety.
Pushed to protect Arizona’s research economy by opposing proposed cuts to National Science Foundation and NIH funding that support ASU, the University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University, and by advocating for continued federal investment in STEM education and university-based research.
Opposed Republican proposals to eliminate or weaken the Department of Education, including efforts to cut federal funding for Title I schools and special education programs that serve low-income students and students with disabilities in Arizona.

Greg’s record on energy and the environment is practical, urgent, and rooted in Arizona’s needs.
Arizona’s future depends on whether we have the guts to confront the water, heat, energy, and climate challenges facing our future. Families need clean drinking water. Workers need protection from deadly heat. Communities need reliable power they can afford. Our economy needs modern infrastructure that can handle growth without draining the resources our kids and grandkids will depend on.
Water has been one of Greg Stanton’s defining priorities in Congress because Arizona’s future depends on whether leaders are willing to make the investments before systems fail.
He has worked to bring major federal resources home for water infrastructure, drought response, clean drinking water, conservation, and long-term planning for the Colorado River Basin. And he’ll keep fighting to deliver federal investments in Arizona that meet the size of the challenge instead of leaving local communities to carry it alone.
Extreme heat is another area where Greg has pressed Washington to catch up to what Arizona already lives with. Heat affects workers, seniors, kids, emergency responders, small businesses, schools, and the electrical grid. Greg co-founded the bipartisan Congressional Extreme Heat Caucus to make sure federal agencies treat heat as a serious public-safety and infrastructure threat.
Greg also supports a cleaner, more reliable, more affordable energy future. Arizona should be leading in solar, advanced manufacturing, and the next generation of clean energy jobs. But new energy demand has to be handled fairly. Large users, especially large data centers, should be heavily regulated and should pay their share of the costs they create. Greg will fight tooth-and-nail to ensure Arizona’s working families are not be left holding the bag through higher utility bills.
Greg’s record on energy and the environment is practical, urgent, and rooted in Arizona’s needs: protect the water supply, strengthen local infrastructure, prepare for extreme heat, keep power affordable, and build a future where Arizona can keep growing without pretending its resources are unlimited.
greg’s record ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/energy at this heading)
Secured $250 million for Arizona water infrastructure, including a a $150 million Arizona water infrastructure fund, to upgrade the systems communities rely on for clean drinking water, conservation and drought resilience.

Introduced bipartisan legislation to invest $5.1 billion in tribal water rights settlements, helping deliver long-overdue water security for tribal communities and Arizona’s future.
Co-founded the bipartisan Congressional Extreme Heat Caucus to push Washington to treat extreme heat like the deadly public health, worker safety, infrastructure and energy-grid threat it is.
Introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize and fully fund the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, helping state, local and tribal governments cut fossil fuel emissions, conserve energy and lower utility bills.
Backed responsible permitting reform for clean energy and transmission projects, including modernizing outdated review systems, improving federal staffing and speeding up agency coordination without abandoning environmental review.
Leading the fight in Congress to protect HOV lane exemptions for electric vehicles, encouraging more drivers to adopt clean vehicles and reducing transportation emissions.

GREG LED PHOENIX TO BECOME A NATIONAL LEADER ON LGBTQ+ PROTECTIONS. IN CONGRESS, HE’S FIGHTING TO DEFEAT MAGA’S HATEFUL AGENDA.
Greg Stanton believes LGBTQ+ rights are a basic question of dignity, freedom, and equal protection under the law. No one should lose a job, a home, access to care, the right to marry, or the ability to serve their country because of who they are or who they love.
That conviction has guided Greg’s work from Phoenix City Hall to Congress. As mayor, he helped lead Phoenix to adopt landmark nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ residents. In Congress, he has fought to write those protections into federal law, defend marriage equality, protect transgender Americans from political attacks, and stand up for LGBTQ+ youth, service members, workers, and families.
Greg will not rest until every member of the LGBTQ+ community can live safely, openly, and with dignity in their own communities. And as Trump and MAGA Republicans escalate attacks on LGBTQ+ Americans, Greg will fight back relentlessly, ensuring Arizona leads with courage, fairness, and respect for every person who calls this state home.
GREG’S RECORD ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/equality at this heading)
Helped introduce and pass into law the Respect for Marriage Act to protect marriage equality under federal law.
Cosponsored and voted for the Equality Act to finally write explicit LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination protections into federal civil-rights law.

Greg stanton doesn’t take a dime from big pharma. and he never will.
Greg Stanton has already helped prove a basic point: health care costs come down when Congress is willing to take on the industries making them unaffordable.
For years, drug companies had the power to charge seniors whatever the market would bear because Medicare was blocked from negotiating. Stanton helped change that. The Inflation Reduction Act gave Medicare real bargaining power, capped insulin at $35 a month for seniors, and put a hard limit on what seniors pay out of pocket for prescriptions. That is the model he wants to build on: stop letting drug companies, PBMs, and insurance companies write the rules, protect the coverage Arizona families rely on, and lower the cost of care in ways people can actually feel.
Greg believes hard work should give Arizona families the freedom to build a decent life, and health care is at the center of whether that promise holds up. When premiums rise, prescriptions cost too much, or child care is out of reach, families do not just lose money. They lose choices.
Greg is working to protect the health coverage Arizona families already count on.
He supports extending ACA tax credits so families are not hit with higher premiums, and he will keep defending Medicare and Medicaid from cuts. He also supports cracking down on PBMs and drug companies when they use the system to keep prices high.
He believes Arizona’s care economy deserves the same urgency. Families cannot get ahead if child care costs too much, if paid leave is unavailable, or if seniors and people with disabilities cannot get care where they live. Greg is pushing to lower child care costs, support providers, pay care workers fairly, and expand home and community-based care because care is what makes work possible.
Reproductive freedom is part of the same fight. Greg believes women cannot have full economic freedom if politicians control their health care decisions. He will keep fighting to restore abortion rights, protect contraception and medication abortion, and keep medical decisions between patients and their doctors.
Greg position is clear: lower costs, protect coverage, take on the companies abusing the system, and build a health care economy that supports work, family, and freedom in Arizona.
Greg’s REcord ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/healthcare at this heading)
Stood up to Big Pharma and passed the landmark Inflation Reduction Act, which authorized Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, capped insulin at $35 a month for Medicare patients and capped annual Part D out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $2,000.

Greg Stanton doesn’t perform, he produces.
As Mayor of Phoenix, Greg built a bipartisan coalition to rebuild after the Great Recession—leading Phoenix to simultaneously have the fastest-growing population and highest wage growth among major U.S. cities. As Congressman, he’s spearheaded the effort to make Arizona a national hub for chips and advanced manufacturing and the good-pay jobs that come with it.
But new jobs only matter if Arizonans have a real path into them, which means Greg also fights for stronger community college career education, job training, and apprenticeships so people are not pushed aside by AI, automation, or a changing economy.
But Greg isn’t done. He’s pushing to strengthen worker rights, pass the PRO Act, raise the minimum wage, expand paid sick leave, invest in CHIPS 2.0, and make sure Arizona’s economy rewards people who work for a living, not just those at the top.
Greg’s record ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/jobs at this heading)
Lead the effort to pass the CHIPS and Science Act, a historic bipartisan investment in U.S. manufacturing and research that will create thousands of high-wage jobs in Arizona, lower costs for consumer goods, and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
Secured a $1.2 billion CHIPS Act investment at Arizona State University to establish a flagship semiconductor research and development facility in Tempe, strengthening Arizona’s position as a national leader in advanced manufacturing.
Helped bring major CHIPS Act investments to Arizona, including finalized awards for Intel in Chandler, TSMC in Phoenix, and Amkor in Tempe, creating thousands of high-paying manufacturing and construction jobs and bringing critical supply chains back to the United States.
Introduced legislation to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain in the Western Hemisphere, complementing CHIPS Act investments and reducing America’s dependence on China for critical materials, testing, packaging, and manufacturing.
Voted for and helped deliver the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, bringing major investments to Arizona roads, bridges, transit, airports, water systems, and broadband while supporting good-paying construction jobs and long-term economic growth.
Delivered federal infrastructure investments for Arizona’s economy, including major funding for I-10, Phoenix Sky Harbor, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Valley Metro, Tempe Streetcar, Mesa bus shelters, Chandler microtransit, and passenger rail planning between Phoenix and Tucson.
Passed major legislation into law to create and expand Arizona’s environmental infrastructure authority, unlocking federal Army Corps resources for water and wastewater projects that Arizona communities previously could not access.
Secured water infrastructure funding that supports Arizona’s long-term growth, including investments in Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and communities across Arizona to conserve water, modernize aging systems, and protect the foundation of Arizona’s economy.
Voted for small business tax relief through the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, including restoring immediate expensing for research and development costs, expanding Section 179 expensing for equipment and vehicles, and extending 100% bonus depreciation so Arizona small businesses can invest, grow, and hire.
Voted to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower premiums for Arizona families, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who buy coverage on the marketplace.

As a former Mayor, Greg Stanton knows the only thing that matters in public safety is results: safer neighborhoods, faster emergency response, stronger investigations, support for victims, and accountability from every agency with a badge.
Greg does not support defunding or disbanding local police departments. He supports investing in well-trained officers who know the communities they serve, community policing that builds trust, and the tools law enforcement needs to solve violent crimes.
That is what he has done in Congress. Greg backed the VICTIM Act to help police departments hire and retain detectives, investigate homicides, sexual assaults, kidnappings, and shootings, process evidence faster, and fully staff victim services.
He secured federal funding for rapid DNA technology in Maricopa County so investigators can develop leads in 90 minutes instead of waiting months. He has pushed for body cameras because transparency protects the public and good officers doing the job the right way.
In Congress, Greg will keep investing in what actually makes communities safer: more trained local officers, better crime-solving technology, stronger victim services, mental health crisis response, fentanyl enforcement, domestic violence prevention, and common-sense gun safety laws that keep dangerous weapons out of dangerous hands while respecting law-abiding gun owners.
Greg will never let dangerous ideology on either side put the safety and security of Arizonans at risk.
Border & Immigration Enforcement ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/security at this heading)
Arizona understands the need for border security. Greg believes the federal government has a responsibility to secure the border and ports of entry with modern technology, trained personnel, and a clear focus on cartels, traffickers, fentanyl smugglers, violent criminals, and genuine threats to public safety.
Greg also believes ICE needs serious reform and accountability. Immigration enforcement should keep Americans safe, respect due process, protect civil liberties, and reflect our values as a nation of immigrants. Security does not mean cruelty. It does not mean secrecy. It does not mean masked agents operating without oversight or communities being forced to accept massive detention facilities with no transparency. And Greg has been fighting these abuses of power from day one, and he will not rest until Donald Trump’s agenda of chaos and cruelty is brought to an end.
Greg is relentless about oversight. When ICE blocked his visit to the Eloy Detention Center, he didn’t give up. Eventually, Greg got inside and spent hours meeting with detainees and recording conditions — and then he went public and kept demanding answers.
At Mesa Gateway Airport, Greg helped expose alarming conditions inside a temporary holding facility and has continued pressing for improvements through regular inspections since. In Surprise, Arizona, he is leading the federal effort to stop a massive detention facility from being forced on residents who made clear they did not want it.
When Republican leaders in Congress tried to pour more money into Trump’s ICE operation without any oversight, Greg voted no again and again. And when Republicans threatened to shut down the government, Greg held firm. He also introduced legislation to strip millions in ICE funding and reallocate it to local public safety instead, so communities can hire trained police officers, strengthen crime prevention, support victims, and keep neighborhoods safe.
Greg believes Arizona deserves a smarter approach: secure the border, stop fentanyl, target cartels and violent criminals, fix the broken immigration system, and restore accountability to federal enforcement. Safe communities and constitutional rights go hand in hand.
National Security ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/security at this heading)
Greg Stanton believes America is strongest when we lead with strength, discipline, and accountability. Greg’s national security priorities include protecting Americans, standing with our allies, confronting our adversaries, and upholding the Constitution of the United States.
Greg is fighting to keep America ahead of China through his leadership on the bipartisan China Select Committee and as co-chair of the bipartisan Taiwan Caucus. He’s securing supply chains, protecting U.S. technology, strengthening Arizona’s semiconductor economy, and stopping advanced American chips from strengthening China’s military, intelligence, and surveillance capabilities.
Greg is clear-eyed about the threat Iran poses: it must never obtain a nuclear weapon, and the United States must stand against terrorism, protect U.S. forces, and defend our national security. But strength is not a blank check for reckless escalation. The Constitution gives Congress, not one person, the power to take America to war. That is why Greg fiercely condemned Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran and voted to bring our troops home unless and until the president made his case to Congress.
Finally, Greg recognizes the U.S.-Israel relationship is critical to American national security. He will always stand against terrorism and support Israel’s right to defend itself. Every Israeli and every Palestinian deserves to live with safety, dignity, freedom, and hope for the future. A durable peace between the two requires a two-state solution: a secure, Jewish, and democratic Israel living alongside an independent Palestinian state.
But standing with an ally does not require silence when its government makes choices that undermine long-term peace and security. Greg has opposed settlement expansion and settler violence because those actions weaken Israel’s security and push a negotiated two-state solution further out of reach. Supporting Israel’s future does not require defending every decision made by the Netanyahu government.
Greg also believes Palestinians deserve a government accountable to them and the power to shape their own future. Lasting stability is impossible while civilians are hungry, displaced, and without basic services. The United States should work with Israel, Arab partners, and European allies to isolate Iran and its proxies, expand regional normalization, deliver aid to civilians without empowering Hamas, and tie reconstruction to a credible political process.
Greg will continue to condemn antisemitism and Islamophobia wherever they appear. Threatening Jewish Americans, excusing terrorism, denying Israel’s right to exist, or treating Jewish safety as negotiable is unacceptable. Hate directed at Muslim Americans is intolerable as well. Greg will keep fighting to increase federal security grants to protect houses of worship and vulnerable communities throughout the East Valley.
Keeping America safe requires strength, judgment, and accountability. Greg is fighting for all three.

Greg believes retirement should come with dignity, security & peace of mind.
Social Security and Medicare are not giveaways. They are earned benefits Arizonans paid into through a lifetime of work, and Washington has no business gambling them away, cutting them behind closed doors or handing seniors’ private information to political operatives.
Greg has fought to protect Social Security and Medicare from Republican attacks, lower prescription drug costs, cap insulin costs for seniors and give Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices. He has stood up against efforts to privatize Social Security, because retirement should not depend on Wall Street having a good year. He pushed back when the Trump administration and DOGE put Social Security service and privacy at risk, including cuts that made it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get help.
Greg is also fighting for broader retirement security: protecting pensions, strengthening earned benefits and making sure workers who spent their lives on the job can retire without being forced to choose between medicine, groceries and keeping a roof over their head.
Greg’s record ↗ (opens gregstanton.com/seniors at this heading)
Helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which lowers drug costs for seniors by letting Medicare negotiate lower prices, capping insulin at $35 a month, and limiting how much seniors pay out of pocket for prescriptions.
Helped pass the Social Security Fairness Act, which protects Social Security benefits for teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public servants who also earned a pension.
Pushed the Social Security Administration to undo Trump-era service cuts that closed field offices, cut phone service, and made it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get help.
Voted against Republican legislation that would make Medicare’s finances worse while giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy.
Voted against Republican health care cuts that would take coverage away from hundreds of thousands of Arizonans, including seniors, people with disabilities, and working families.
Voted against Republican cuts to Medicaid and food assistance, rejecting a bill that would make life harder for seniors and families already stretched thin.

greg stanton is working to make sure america keeps its promises to our veterans.
Greg Stanton’s commitment to veterans starts close to home. His father served in the Army, came home, raised his family in Phoenix and lived the kind of quiet service that defines the Greatest Generation: do your duty, help your neighbors, don’t seek applause, and don’t ask what you get in return.
Greg has tried to bring that same sense of responsibility to public service. As mayor, he made ending veteran homelessness a major priority because he believed Phoenix had no business calling itself a great city while men and women who served this country were sleeping on its streets. That work helped Phoenix become the first major U.S. city to end chronic veteran homelessness
In Congress, Greg has kept pressing for the same basic standard: veterans should not be forced to fight a broken system after they have already served their country. He helped pass the PACT Act for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, Agent Orange and other dangerous substances. He fought proposed staffing cuts at the Phoenix VA, pushed for shorter mental health wait times, and demanded accountability after a veteran died outside the Phoenix VA.
Greg’s commitment is practical, personal and relentless. He fights for stronger VA care, faster access to benefits, better support for caregivers and surviving spouses, protection from scammers, and housing for veterans who have nowhere else to turn.
Arizona’s veterans kept their promise to us. Greg Stanton will keep fighting to make sure America keeps its promise to them.
