119th Congress

WASHINGTON-After demands from U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.), Senators Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), and U.S. Representative Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), the Trump Administration today relented and said it would release more than $110 million in withheld federal education dollars for the State of Arizona.

WASHINGTON, D.C.- As the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla are expected to bring heavy rainfall and flash flooding to Arizona through the weekend, U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton (D-AZ) is urging federal officials to prepare to assist Arizonans–and for Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva without any more delay.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Today, ahead of the busy holiday travel season, U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) unveiled the Airline Passenger Compensation Act, legislation that would require U.S. airlines to provide cash compensation and rebooking assistance to passengers affected by airline-caused flight delays and cancellations. The bill was introduced together with Ranking Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Rick Larsen (WA-02) and Vice Ranking Member Emilia Sykes (OH-13).

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Ahead of Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" on April 2-the day he is expected to announce sweeping and broad tariffs on "all countries"-Representative Greg Stanton is backing the Congressional Trade Authority Act. This legislation would require the president to submit to Congress any proposal to adjust tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, the authority Trump has used to impose or threaten tariffs on foreign cars and auto parts, aluminum, lumber, steel, and copper imports, driving aluminum prices to record highs and raising housing costs. "Enough is enough. Arizona families and businesses are being hurt by Trump's chaotic trade wars. It's time Congress step in and stop the President from weaponizing tariff authorities," Stanton said. "We have the bills to block this overreach, we just need the political will."
