Rep. Greg Stanton, representing Arizona's 9th congressional district, has been vocal about various issues concerning both state and national matters, as reflected in his recent posts on social media.

On April 4, 2025, Rep. Greg Stanton commented on the political activism of Arizonans and criticized what he perceives as a movement towards authoritarianism by the current presidential administration. "Arizonans are making their voices heard. And if this president thinks that he can move this country towards authoritarianism, he's got another thing coming."

On April 5, 2025, Rep. Stanton expressed concern over former President Trump's actions regarding labor rights, specifically his decision to end collective bargaining for federal workers. He announced his collaboration with fellow Democrats and select Republicans to support new legislation aimed at safeguarding workers' rights. "Trump’s move to end collective bargaining for federal workers isn’t just an attack on them—it’s an attack on every worker in America. That’s why I’m joining with Democrats and a handful of Republicans in Congress to back a bill that would protect workers’ rights."

Additionally, Rep. Stanton celebrated a sports achievement from Arizona. He congratulated the UAZ Adaptive Men’s Basketball Wheelchair team for winning the NWBA tournament, highlighting the pride and honor brought to the state through their success. "National champions! The @UAZAdaptive Men’s Basketball Wheelchair team won the NWBA tournament, making our whole state proud. Congratulations to the entire team, this victory belongs to you!"
