On March 29, 2025, Representative Greg Stanton shared his insights on several pressing issues via social media, addressing topics relevant to both Arizona residents and the broader national audience.

In a post shared on March 29, 2025, Rep. Greg Stanton expressed concerns about the impact of policy changes championed by Republican lawmakers. Specifically, he highlighted the importance of Medicaid, stating, "Extreme Republicans think Medicaid is just a federal budget line item they can cut to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires." Stanton emphasized the program's significance for individuals like Therese and her daughter Sam in Arizona, describing it as a "lifeline."

Later the same day, at 15:16:20 UTC, another tweet by Stanton addressed economic concerns related to housing. He criticized the effect of trade policies, stating, "Housing prices are already sky-high. Now new homes will be even more expensive because of Trump’s tariffs on building materials." Stanton argued that such policies do not improve affordability for Arizona families, and he referenced further insights available from azcentral.

Rounding out his day's communications, on March 29, 2025, at 20:00:40 UTC, Stanton reflected on the passing of Dick Neuheisel. He noted Neuheisel's significant contributions as an Army veteran, former instructor at Arizona State University, and a leader in the Tempe Kiwanis club. Stanton remarked, "An Army veteran, former ASU instructor, and longtime leader of the Tempe Kiwanis club, Dick Neuheisel’s life was defined by selfless public service." He also acknowledged Neuheisel's role in establishing institutions in Tempe, such as the Sister Cities program.
