Mark Amodei's (R-Nev.) proposed amendment to sell off public lands.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Today, U.S. Representatives Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) and Mike Levin (D-Calif.) sent a letter to President Trump following the administration's decision to abandon the defense of the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) Grant Program in federal court. In the letter, the lawmakers write:

U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) and Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY) introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on their resolutions that would terminate President Trump's authority to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada. This latest effort by Stanton and Meeks to force a vote on the tariffs comes after Republicans used a procedural move to block the vote last March.

Today, U.S. Representative Greg Stanton, together with House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gregory Meeks and Western Hemisphere Subcommittee Ranking Member Joaquin Castro, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio strongly opposing unilateral military action in Mexico without Mexico's consent and congressional authorization. 72 House Democrats joined the effort. "Any unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico without Mexico's consent would destroy trust, eviscerate cooperation with Mexican authorities, and make it harder to keep drugs out of the communities we represent," the lawmakers write.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) joined other leadership members of the New Democrat Coalition to unveil their Affordability Agenda, a policy roadmap to help make life more affordable for Americans by focusing on lowering the five core costs that are too high for hardworking people: health care, housing, energy, family care, and household essentials like groceries. "Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to end inflation and make life more affordable for working families. In fact, he's made things worse: his trade war is raising prices on everything from groceries to housing, and Congressional Republicans sent health coverage costs skyrocketing for tens of millions of Americans," said Rep. Stanton. "The New Dems Affordability Agenda doesn't just undo Trump's economic sabotage, it offers bold solutions to the biggest pressures families face. This forward-looking plan brings the American dream back within reach for Arizona families."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Greg Stanton (D-AZ), Ranking Member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, and Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, today led a new letter signed by 12 Democratic Members of Congress urging President Trump to immediately fire Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator David Richardson, citing a damning Government Accountability Office (GAO) report finding FEMA violated federal law six times under Secretary Noem.

Despite population booms in recent decades, cities like Phoenix receive far fewer affordable housing vouchers than smaller, older cities. WASHINGTON, D.C.-Reps. Greg Stanton, Dina Titus of Nevada and Yassamin Ansari, along Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Kelly, and Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada, introduced the Housing Vouchers Fairness Act. The bill would update the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) decades-old Housing Choice Voucher allocation formula, increasing the number of vouchers allocated to states such as Arizona and Nevada to lower housing costs and address the housing shortage crisis.
