WASHINGTON-A bipartisan bill introduced by Rep. Greg Stanton and Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., to permanently extend security protection of Supreme Court Justices outside the Supreme Court grounds earned unanimous support from the U.S. House today.
Current law authorizes the Supreme Court Police to protect Justices-however, the authority to protect them outside of Supreme Court grounds is temporary and set to expire at the end of this year. Stanton and Steube's bill, H.R. 4258, would remedy that by permanently extending the security authorization.
PHOENIX-In honor of Veterans Day, Rep. Greg Stanton recorded the oral history of a local U.S. Army World War II veteran for the Library of Congress. Stanton interviewed 99-year-old Maj. Fannie Griffin McClendon, one of nearly 800 women in the Army's first and only all-Black, all-female battalion to serve overseas, for the Library of Congress's Veterans History Project.
Stanton met with Maj. McClendon this weekend in her Tempe home to hear first-hand about her experience being deployed to Europe to process mail sent to the troops.
WASHINGTON – Arizonan Yazmin Irazoqui-Ruiz can't be in Washington when the Supreme Court considers whether the Trump administration can end DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that has allowed her to stay in this country and go to medical school.
But Irazoqui-Ruiz will still have a presence in the courtroom Tuesday – as one of the model "citizens" who have been cited in dozens of court briefs that argue for keeping DACA.
TEMPE, AZ - At 99 years old, Major Fannie Griffin McClendon looks through old photos, sharing stories about time spent with her husband.
"He proposed in that last letter," she said, looking at letters the couple shared during the war.
WASHINGTON-A bill introduced by Rep. Greg Stanton advanced through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee today with unanimous support. The bill, H.R. 3521, would help grow an in-demand sector of Arizona's workforce: wastewater management workers.
"Arizona's economy relies on effective and well-managed wastewater treatment and stormwater management programs," said Stanton, a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "We need more trained workers to properly operate our wastewater systems, and to protect public health and our environment."
Arizona's nine-member delegation voted along party lines Thursday as the Democratic-led House of Representatives approved the rules and process for upcoming impeachment hearings.
The anticlimactic 232-196 vote capped days of intensifying partisan rancor, as Democrats exhorted Republicans to hold President Donald Trump accountable for his dealings with Ukraine, and as GOP members said the closed-door process so far has trammeled due process.
WASHINGTON - The U.S. House approved legislation Wednesday to permanently ban uranium and other hardrock mining near the Grand Canyon.
The bill from Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, passed by a vote of 236-185.
Boeing Co. President Dennis Muilenburg testifies before House lawmakers Wednesday, the day after being peppered with tough question in the Senate during his first appearance before lawmakers since a pair of the planemaker's 737 Max jets crashed, killing 346 people.
In both crashes, faulty data from one of two angle-of-attack sensors, which measure the pitch of the plane against the oncoming stream of air, caused a flight control system called MCAS to drive down the jet's nose, which pilots struggled to counteract before ultimately entering a fatal dive.
In a tense and revelatory hearing Wednesday, a U.S. House committee presented startling new evidence from internal Boeing documents showing that, before the first crash in 2018, some company engineers had discovered that a failure in a new flight-control system could be "potentially catastrophic" - information that was dismissed and never communicated to regulators.
PHOENIX-Rep. Greg Stanton's office has returned more than $1.1 million in federal benefits to residents of Arizona's ninth congressional district so far this year. The freshman member's casework team has had a busy first nine months, working with more than 200 constituents on a wide range of issues, from immigration status to veterans benefits to Social Security payments.
Providing exceptional service is always top of mind, Stanton says.
