WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., gave her first House floor speech of the 113th Congress today. She emphasized her district and the importance of not only reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act but preventing reckless sequestration cuts that threaten $20 million in VAWA-related Justice Department resources for police, prosecutors, judges, victims’ advocates and communities.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., released the following statement tonight after President Obama delivered his State of the Union address:
“The State of the Union is more than a national moment to hear a president’s priorities – it is an opportunity for leaders to find common ground. That’s what I was looking for tonight, because jobs, education and economic growth should not be partisan issues.
WASHINGTON -- As congressional leaders seek consensus in the next few months on budget cuts, raising the nation’s debt limit and continuing to fund the federal government, experts say they are unlikely to turn to most members of the Arizona congressional delegation for help.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., released the following statement today after voting yes on HR 325, the ‘No Budget, No Pay Act’:
“Part of our duty as members of Congress is to pass a budget. Today’s vote took us a step closer to that and a step further from default on the national debt. But easing our nation’s short-term fiscal uncertainty does not erase the long-term need to address our debt and deficits. I am ready to work across the aisle to find common ground on this important issue and reach a solution.”
On Thursday my new job officially began. But in reality, I got to work right after Election Day, traveling across District 1 to hear people's hopes for the 113th Congress.
When I served alongside former Rep. Gabby Giffords, her district included Oro Valley and Marana. Under the new congressional maps, those communities are in my district.
District 1 is larger than Pennsylvania. It runs from the Grand Canyon to the Navajo Nation, from the White Mountains to the Copper Corridor, from Casa Grande to Oro Valley.
