Lowering Costs for Families

Arizona families deserve a strong economy that creates real opportunity for everyone—not just those at the top. 

Driving up economic output starts by supporting the entrepreneurs, small businesses and critical industries in our state. I’m working to do just that across all sectors, including infrastructure, high-tech innovation and education, so Arizonans can secure stable jobs with fair wages and good benefits.

I knew no state stood to benefit more from targeted investments in American semiconductor manufacturing.  And today, our CHIPS and Science Act has created tens of thousands of good paying jobs right here in the Valley. I fought to secure CHIPS funding, including $6.6 billion to open a third semiconductor production facility for TSMC, $8.5 billion for Intel’s construction of a microchip production plant in Chandler, and $39.8 million for research at Arizona State University. And I’m working to bring the global semiconductor supply chain closer to our shores.

The incoming Biden administration faces not only a divided Congress, but a divided electorate. Democrats will likely be forced to make compromises with Republicans if they want to advance any legislation.

Arizona Rep. Greg Stanton, a Democrat, says he hopes this ushers in a new era of bipartisanship.

"It was a close, close election," Stanton said. "And I think that those leaders that are able to truly unite people, work in a bipartisan way, a sincerely bipartisan way, are going to be the leaders that are the most successful."
