Arizona Representative Greg Stanton recently shared a series of tweets expressing concerns over federal policies affecting Arizonans, particularly in relation to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and international tariffs.

On April 2, 2025, Representative Stanton highlighted the significance of LIHEAP, stating, "LIHEAP—that's the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program—helps tens of thousands of Arizonans with their AC bills in the hot summer months. Gutting this program doesn't just mean higher utility bills—it puts lives at risk." This statement underscores the potential impact on those reliant on the program during Arizona's extreme summer temperatures.

In a follow-up tweet on the same day, Stanton directed followers to additional information, saying, "More https://t.co/NZ33qfYU56".

Later that evening, Stanton addressed the issue of tariffs, stating, "Higher tariffs mean higher prices for Arizona families and businesses. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle need to understand: this chaos ends when Congress takes back its Constitutional authority over international commerce." His comments reflect a concern for how these economic measures affect local consumers and businesses, alongside a call for legislative action concerning trade authority.
