Confronting Government Corruption
It’s time for Congress to restore transparency in Washington and return political power to the people.
I’ve introduced a bill to ban Members of Congress from trading and holding individual stocks, so we can rebuild Americans’ trust that our government is working for the people, not politicians’ financial gain.
And when we were heading towards an unnecessary and potentially devastating government shutdown that would have put hundreds of Arizonans’ paychecks on hold, I called on House leadership to advance federal government funding legislation and supported bipartisan legislation to avoid catastrophic default and raise the debt ceiling.

More than $2.8 million owed to residents of Arizona's Ninth Congressional District by the federal government has been returned to its rightful owners since freshman Rep. Greg Stanton took office.
Many around the West Valley have complained about delayed mail over the last few months. Local representatives weighed in from both sides of the matter, with some crying "postal crisis" and others "fake news."
Spoiled medications and missing rent checks are just some of the problems that Arizonans have seen as a result of recent postal system changes, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema said during a recent grilling of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
At a roundtable this week, Representatives Greg Stanton and Tom O'Halleran heard from local leaders about how changes to the United States Postal Service will impact their communities. The congressmen were joined by a diverse group representing postal workers, tribes, seniors, veterans and small business owners.
Rep. Greg Stanton has introduced a bill to require the use of body-worn cameras for law enforcement officers as a condition of eligibility for COPS grants. The COPS Accountability Act of 2020, H.R. 7150, would require state, local and tribal government agencies applying for COPS grants to show they have plans in place to put a body camera on every officer who conducts searches and makes arrests.
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Rep. Greg Stanton and the House Judiciary Committee today advanced two bills to address the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
WASHINGTON - Rep. Paul Gosar and Rep. Greg Stanton have introduced the Downwinders Parity Act to bring justice to victims of radiation exposure in Mohave County, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada.
More than 50 years after the last above-ground atomic bomb was detonated at the Nevada Test Site, lawmakers are trying to ensure that more Nevadans exposed to nuclear radiation receive compensation.
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., and Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., introduced a bill Friday, the Downwinders Parity Act, that would expand the "affected area" as defined by the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). Signed into law in 2000, RECA is the existing means by which those who developed illnesses from nuclear radiation exposure can apply for government compensation.
This week marks one year since the House passed H.R. 8, a bipartisan bill that would require background checks for all gun buyers.
It's a shame that more than 365 days later this bill still hasn't been considered by the Senate.
Ninety-seven percent of Americans support background checks, and that's because it's a common-sense first step to prevent criminals and domestic abusers from obtaining firearms.
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Rep. Greg Stanton and Rep. Paul Gosar today introduced H.R. 5992, the Downwinders Parity Act, to bring justice to victims of radiation exposure in Mohave County in northwestern Arizona and Clark County in southern Nevada.
This week, I paid a visit to the Second Chance Animal Hospital in Sunnyslope. I learned that the hospital, supported by the Arizona Humane Society, is the largest shelter-based trauma center for homeless animals in the Southwest.
I had a chance tour the facility, including the "Mutternity Suites," and to meet with the life-saving veterinarians, veterinary technicians and assistants and animal care specialists who work there. These animal care professionals have devoted their careers to shelter medicine-treating some of the most in-need animals in our community.
