13 years ago, I had just been reelected to Congress when my life and community changed forever. Six people were killed, 12 others injured, and I was shot in the head at a Safeway in Tucson. Our community lost so much that day, but we came together and found hope in one another.

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions.

If it felt uncomfortable to watch on TV as a bunch of Members of Congress act like blind drunk hecklers at a basement comedy show, it felt 10x creepier in the chamber.
What a disgrace. What a terrible example for our kids.
Basketball game tonight was a nailbiter! Great win! Thank you @tulanealumni @TulaneMedicine for hosting basketball with the Dean #loveit #rollwave @RonaldMLynch

Over 14,000 people have been killed by gun violence since the House passed an assault weapons ban this summer.
@SenSchumer, the time is now. Our lives are at stake.
RT if you demand the Senate bring an assault weapons ban to a vote and send it to @POTUS's desk! #EnoughIsEnough

I knew a debate wasn’t going to be easy after having a stroke five months ago. I don’t think that’s ever been done before in American political history.
I got knocked down but I got back up. I’m going to fight for everyone in PA who ever got knocked down and had to get back up.

I don’t own nor trade individual stocks, accept no corporate money to my campaign, & live solely off my congressional salary (which requires us to pay for 2 rents out of pocket).
All of this is publicly disclosed info. I save in a Thrift Savings Plan just like other fed workers.

Chairman Larson was on 🔥 He told Congress Leadership to put up or shut up about FINALLY expanding Social Security. There may NEVER be another chance for this! What are they waiting for?
With OVER 200 House Democratic supporters, I AGREE, don't you? ✋💙

No matter how many times Donald Trump and Kari Lake deny the truth (including at today’s rally), it won’t change the fact the 2020 election was the most secure in AZ history. Arizona will always be a model for free, fair elections — it will not be a breeding ground for more lies.

Every single Republican in Congress voted against capping out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors at $2,000 a year.
