Dear Peter,  

Wishing you and your loved ones a very safe, healthy, and happy new year!

As we look ahead to 2023, I promise to stay laser-focused on my top priority: getting stuff done for Arizona. In 2022, we got *a lot* done thanks to collaboration on both sides of the political aisle that’s largely unheard of in today’s era of bitter Washington partisanship.

It’s no secret that some in Washington haven’t always liked my approach – but Arizonans know that it’s produced real, long-lasting results to some of the most challenging issues facing our state and nation.  

Let’s review some of the landmark victories we’ve proudly ushered into law in 2022 alone:

• Postal Service Reform Act – Providing much-needed investments to ensure all Arizonans receive their mail on time.
• Reauthorized Violence Against Women Act – Protecting Arizona women, combating domestic violence, and cracking down on abusers.
• Shadow Wolves Enhancement Act – Reclassifying the Tohono O’odham Shadow Wolves as special agents, allowing them to better patrol and secure the border, keeping Arizonans safe while respecting the Nation’s tribal sovereignty. 
• Bipartisan Safer Communities Act – Making historic investments in mental health resources and school and community violence prevention following the horrific shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.
• CHIPS and Science Act– Restoring Arizona and America’s leadership in domestic semiconductor manufacturing, creating thousands of good-paying jobs, cutting supply chain delays, and boosting our national security by reducing reliance on foreign nations.
• PACT Act – Expanding critical benefits and health care access for veterans exposed to toxic substances while serving – a key tenant of our responsibility to care for our veterans who have sacrificed so much in service to our nation.
• Inflation Reduction Act – Delivering critical resources to mitigate Arizona’s historic drought conditions, including $4 billion in drought relief for the American West, and lowering the costs of prescription drugs for Arizona seniors.
• Respect for Marriage Act – Ensuring same-sex and interracial couples enjoy the same protections as all other marriages, while respecting America’s core value of religious freedom.
• DHS Illicit Cross-Border Tunnel Defense Act – Cracking down on cartels’ criminal activity by directing CBP to identify, intercept, and seal off cross-border tunnels used to smuggle drugs, weapons, and people across our border.

And so much more.

I was also honored to travel all across the state to have conversations with Arizonans about the issues that matter most, and detail the historic investments I’ve secured for our state this year. From Phoenix to Yuma, Page to Safford, Flagstaff to Tucson, Lake Mead to Lake Powell, Sonoita to Winslow, Goodyear to Prescott – I’ve heard from Arizonans in every corner of our state about what they want to see from their elected leaders.

What I’ve heard is a deep desire to move beyond the partisan politics and make real progress on the challenges and opportunities facing our state. Peter, that’s exactly how I’ve governed since being elected, and that’s how I’ll always work to deliver long-lasting results for our state and country.

Sincerely,

Kyrsten Sinema
