Many of Arizonas leading Democrats offered their views of President Biden’s State of the Union Address on February 7, 2023. Please see the various posts from before and after the address.

Always great to see Arizonans receiving national attention for their hard work and innovation. #SOTU2023 https://t.co/y6tffPav0q

.@POTUS is right: This is our moment to defend democracy. #NewDEALers & @DemsOfState @JocelynBenson & @Adrian_Fontes spoke about how we can defend democracy at our conference back in December. Watch their conversation here: https://t.co/tdcSCKoRfA

I applaud @POTUS for his commitment to consumer protection, reproductive rights, support for working families + seniors, and call to action on the fentanyl crisis.

Tonight, I was glad to hear @POTUS highlight our bipartisan CHIPS law.

For years, both parties have talked about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.

We actually got it done.

Our success shows that finding common ground can deliver real results.

As a combat veteran, I second the call for bipartisanship and putting country over politics.

Our allies and adversaries are watching closely.

As we face challenges at home and abroad, we must set aside differences and work together to protect our freedoms and deliver results.

Proud that a Phoenix success story will be part of the #SOTU tonight! Paul Sarzoza is growing his company because of TSMC’s investment in Phoenix. Paul will be a guest of the First Lady at tonight’s speech. https://t.co/XOKS1sWaZf pic.twitter.com/m2J0QOYrtW

Tonight, join me as @POTUS shares the accomplishments of the past 2 years! This is a time to celebrate the power of progress, real results for the American people & the real-life impacts of the investments made to our community. #BidenHarris #SOTU https://t.co/xgLy600VJL

Thank you, @POTUS for saying what every American thinks: Billionaires and corporations should pay their fair share.

The GOP's 30% sales tax is effectively a tax hike for the poor and middle class and a massive tax cut for the rich.

Never gonna happen. #SOTU

I'm proud to have led my colleagues in the House in standing up to support Ukraine, and @POTUS has been key to organizing the global resistance as Putin plans another offensive.

The United States is the arsenal of democracy. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 #sotu2023

I look forward to hearing @POTUS speak about the historic economic progress we've achieved for Arizona and America over the past two years—and how we can continue working across the aisle to lower costs for families.

Tune into the #SOTU here ⬇️ https://t.co/kD0PKjPZLB
