Arizona families expect their education tax dollars to support students and teachers in the classroom. But too often, those resources are diverted away from instruction and into administrative overhead and non-classroom expenses.
At the same time, student outcomes have stagnated, leaving parents and taxpayers questioning whether current spending priorities are delivering results.
HCR 2007/SCR 1032 would bring greater accountability and transparency to how education dollars are used by ensuring that at least 60% of school operational spending is directed toward classroom instruction – including teachers, aides, and learning resources.
This is not a radical proposal. It sets a reasonable, achievable standard that prioritizes what matters most: student learning and teacher support. It also gives districts time to adjust and improve, while ensuring that education funding is aligned with classroom outcomes.
Arizona voters deserve a say in how their tax dollars are spent. This ballot referral would allow citizens to weigh in on a commonsense measure to refocus education spending where it belongs.
Tell your legislators: Support HCR2007/SCR1032 and put Arizona classrooms first.
The government remains shut down again, with no end in sight.
Washington gridlock has real consequences. The Department of Homeland Security remains shut down, and Democrat leaders in Washington are refusing to move a clean funding bill to reopen it.
This is now the longest government shutdown in U.S. history—and Americans are paying the price.
Nearly 50,000 TSA officers and over 100,000 DHS personnel were forced to work through financial uncertainty while continuing to protect the country. These are not abstract policy debates. These are real families who missed paychecks while doing their jobs.
President Trump has taken action to ensure TSA workers receive back pay using existing funds. That provides short-term relief—but it does not solve the problem.
Only Congress can reopen the government.
And right now, Democratic leaders are choosing political leverage over stability, security, and the wellbeing of American workers.
This shutdown is putting real pressure on:
Airport security and travel reliability
Border enforcement and public safety operations
Families who depend on steady federal paychecks
Communities that rely on consistent law enforcement
Public safety should never be used as a bargaining chip.

For decades, the best wealth-building investments were reserved for Wall Street insiders and political elites—while hardworking Americans were locked out.
President Trump’s proposed 401K rule puts Main Street first.
This reform expands access to private credit, infrastructure, and real estate investments through 401K retirement plans, giving everyday Americans the same tools long enjoyed by elites and government pension funds to grow their savings and secure their future.
Today, most private-sector workers rely on a 401K—a tax-advantaged, employer-matched account meant to reward long-term saving. But outdated regulations and fear of lawsuits have limited investment options, holding workers back and reducing long-term growth.
This 401K proposal restores fairness by:
Opening access to private markets
Giving Main Street workers the same opportunities as institutional investors and public sector workers
Strengthening retirement security through diversification and long-term growth
Letting Americans—not Washington—decide how to invest their own money

More than 70 million Americans earn income as independent contractors, freelancers, gig workers, and self-employed professionals.
For many, this isn’t a side hustle—it’s how they pay their bills, support their families, and build their futures.
In 2024, a confusing federal rule put that freedom at risk.
The Biden-era rule imposed a complicated six-factor test that created uncertainty and established unnecessary restrictions on flexible work opportunities nationwide.
That means:
Fewer freelance opportunities
Less flexible work
Reduced income options
More workers pushed into rigid 9–5 roles
We’ve already seen what happens in states like California when similar restrictions were imposed: freelancers lost income, contracts, and their livelihoods.
Now, the Department of Labor is proposing a new rule to fix it—and they need to hear from the people who rely on independent work. Reversing the Biden-era rule and restoring clarity to protect freelance freedom.
This reform protects:
Moms who build businesses around school schedules
Military spouses who move frequently
People with disabilities who need flexible environments
Rural workers earning remotely
Professionals supplementing income during inflation
Entrepreneurs building small businesses
Gig workers earning side income
If you value the freedom to work on your own terms, now is the time to speak up.
Submit your comment today and tell the Department of Labor to protect independent contractor freedom.
It takes less than one minute—but it could protect your ability to earn independently for years to come.

Most seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age—but today’s system makes it difficult and expensive. We’re collecting stories from seniors, loved ones, and caregivers to show what aging in place really looks like, why companionship matters, and how outdated rules make it harder for families to provide safe, affordable in-home support.
Across America, families are struggling to support aging parents and grandparents who want to remain in their homes—the place where they feel safe, connected, and dignified. But skyrocketing caregiving costs and restrictive regulations have made in-home support nearly impossible for many families.
Seniors who only need light help or companionship cannot find help that makes sense for them.
Adult children juggling careers, kids, and distance cannot be there as much as they want.
Many families turn to “under-the-table” arrangements because legal options are either unaffordable or unworkable.
Seniors face loneliness, which harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Millions of older adults are forced into facilities they don’t want or need because at-home support is unaffordable and inaccessible.
It’s time for policymakers to cut back on the red tape that makes in-home companionship needlessly costly and bureaucratic. We believe it’s time to explore safe, compassionate, affordable solutions—like live-in companion programs modeled after the au pair system—that connect seniors with carefully vetted companions who provide support, friendship, and help with daily tasks.
To highlight what families are facing today, we are collecting stories from seniors, adult children, caregivers, and working parents navigating both childcare and elder care.
Missouri has a progressive income tax with a top rate of 4.7%. The state is in competition with Tennessee, which has no state income tax. Eliminating the income tax will help Missouri families, bring investment and people to the state, and can be done gradually to ensure the state has the revenue it needs.
HJR 165 proposes a constitutional amendment to be brought before Missouri voters to reduce and eliminate the state income tax by allowing for increases in state and local sales and use taxes.
Women and families especially benefit from income tax elimination. Right now, as women’s earnings increase, so does their tax burden. Missouri has already phased out the capital gains tax in 2025, helping families keep more of their hard-earned money. Eliminating the income tax will incentivize hard work and reward those entrepreneurs who want to build more and innovate in their state.
Three out of the four top growth states in 2025, according to the U-Haul Growth Index, are income tax-free. The evidence is clear: eliminating income tax spurs growth. Now is the time to make Missouri competitive and save taxpayer dollars.
You deserve to keep your income.
Send a message directly to your state Senators and Representatives in support of HJR 165 and eliminating the Missouri state income tax.
