Greg Stanton, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona's 4th district since 2019, has recently addressed various issues through his social media platform. Stanton's tweets highlight concerns ranging from community tragedies to government efficiency and environmental initiatives.

On March 9, 2025, Greg Stanton shared his thoughts on a candlelight vigil held for Emily Pike, who was tragically murdered. In his tweet, he stated: "Hundreds in our community came to a candlelight vigil this week after the tragic murder of Emily Pike. A terrible loss and a reminder of the federal government’s failures to address #MMIW. We must end violence against Native women and girls."

Later that day, Stanton commented on changes affecting Social Security services. He expressed his disapproval of recent developments in a tweet saying: "Shuttering Social Security field offices and laying off staff is not 'government efficiency.' It will only lead to longer wait times and disrupted benefits for Arizona seniors. We’re introducing legislation to stop it."

In another post made on the same day, Stanton highlighted an educational event focused on climate action. He tweeted: "Team Stanton stopped by Hacktivate Mesa, where local students propose data-driven, innovative solutions to advance @CITYOFMESA's Climate Action Plan—like conserving water & improving heat resilience. These kids have a bright future ahead of them!"
