Rep. Greg Stanton, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Arizona’s 4th district, has been actively engaging with his constituents and addressing pressing national issues through social media updates. Born in Long Island, New York, and now residing in Phoenix, Stanton has a background in law from Marquette University and the University of Arizona.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Greg Stanton emphasized the nation's responsibility towards veterans. He stated: "As a nation, we have a duty to care for the women and men who've risked their lives to defend ours." He discussed meeting with his Veterans Advisory Council to explore how Congress can better support veterans, including through legislation he is advocating for that aims to simplify the application process for veteran benefits.

Later that day, Stanton expressed concern over current events in Washington D.C., posting: "Wondering WTF is happening in D.C. these days? I don't blame you." He announced an Instagram live session with fellow representatives Jared Huffman and Mike Levin to discuss these matters on "The WTF Show."

In another update on March 5, Stanton addressed environmental challenges by hosting a roundtable discussion focused on wildfire management. He remarked: "It seems like every season, wildfires get worse across the West." The discussion included emergency response experts and Coconino County Supervisor Patrice Horstman to highlight FEMA's role in disaster response and recovery.
