$22.7 Million for AZ-06 Community Projects.

One of my greatest honors as your advocate in Congress is to champion local projects with a federal nexus that local leaders have determined will have maximum local impact. Being able to deliver on these projects is one of my job’s greatest rewards.

As the only member of Arizona’s congressional delegation to serve on the House Appropriations Committee, I fought to bring critical federal resources to Arizona’s 6th Congressional District. My seat on this Committee – and two of its key subcommittees – was instrumental in this effort.

In the most recent funding package that passed on the House floor, $22.7 million was secured for community projects in AZ-06. These include:

• $7 million for the City of Sierra Vista’s reconstruction of Buffalo Soldier Trail
• $7 million for the Town of Oro Valley’s Bridge Replacement
• $2 million to revitalize Cochise County’s runway at the Bisbee-Douglas International Airport
• $1.9 million for the Town of Duncan’s Main and High Street Improvements
• $1.8 million for Casa Grande Union High School District’s Affordable Workforce Housing Construction
• $1 million for the Town of Pima’s High School Road Construction
• $1 million for the City of Eloy’s Frontier Street Mill & Overlay Project
• $1 million for Casa Grande Elementary School’s Community Center Revitalization

This legislation now moves to the Senate, where it awaits passage.

Over the course of 26 years in office, Sen. Kyl forged a reputation as a tireless workhorse, a master of public policy, and a principled leader.

I am personally grateful for Sen. Kyl’s service and was extremely honored at the opportunity to speak on his life and legacy.
