Rep. Greg Stanton, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona's 4th district, recently shared his views on various political and educational issues through a series of tweets. Stanton, who has been serving in Congress since 2019 after replacing Kyrsten Sinema, expressed concerns over economic policies and highlighted local educational achievements.

On February 3, 2025, Rep. Greg Stanton criticized former President Donald Trump's tariff policies in a tweet stating that Trump "backpedaled on his tariff threat after tanking the stock market and sending Arizona consumers and business leaders into a panic." He further emphasized that "The U.S. should partner with our allies on critical economic and security issues—not threaten self-defeating punitive tariffs." "Original quotation"

In another tweet dated February 4, 2025, Stanton commented on the limitations of presidential power by stating that "A president is not a king. Donald Trump cannot bypass Congress and cut programs Arizonans rely on at his whim." "Original quotation"
