Rep. Greg Stanton, serving in the U.S. Congress representing Arizona’s 4th district since 2019, has recently shared a series of tweets highlighting various community and financial issues. The posts cover his visit to a local storehouse, his stance on consumer protection, and the importance of federal funding for health centers.

On February 9, Rep. Stanton tweeted about his visit to the LDS Church’s Bishops’ Storehouse in Mesa: "Great to visit the LDS Church’s Bishops’ Storehouse in Mesa to see their work to help those in need. No price tags in the store, those experiencing financial hardship work with their congregation’s leaders to build a shopping list & come in to get food on their table."

Later that day, he commented on consumer protection efforts by stating: "The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau steps in when Americans have been ripped off by big banks or corporations. It has returned more than $20 billion to consumers since it was founded over a decade ago. Now the world’s richest man is bragging about ending it." This post reflects concerns over potential changes affecting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

On February 10, Rep. Stanton addressed healthcare services in Arizona's 4th district: "Our community health centers provide essential services to nearly 400k people in #AZ04 alone—everything from family care to substance abuse & mental health care—and they count on federal funding to keep their doors open. With federal grants under attack, I met with…" His remarks emphasize the reliance of these centers on federal support amid current fiscal challenges.
