Kristen Sinema commented, “I welcome President Biden’s continued focus on ending the pandemic – and his commitment to ensuring America wins the global competition with foreign competitors such as China. Protecting jobs and expanding economic opportunities for everyday Americans are goals that unite all Americans. That’s why I successfully worked to pass legislation boosting American manufacturing of semiconductors – to support Arizona jobs and American national security. I’ll continue working across the aisle to advance those policies, because bipartisan cooperation is the best way to achieve lasting results for our nation, from delivering for our veterans, to renewing the Violence Against Women Act. Setting aside partisan dysfunction and rigidity, and beginning to work again through compromise and common sense, will help mend some of the divisions in our country while addressing America’s urgent challenges. I’ll continue to uphold the Arizona values of finding common ground and using common sense as I work with colleagues in both parties to get things done for Arizona.”
