Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Urges Business Leaders to Advocate for Commonsense Legislation at Chamber of Commerce Luncheon

At the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Annual Update from Capitol Hill luncheon last Tuesday, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I) delivered a powerful message to business leaders, urging them to overcome partisan divides and prioritize commonsense legislation that puts Arizona first.

Sinema emphasized the importance of businesses stepping up to help solve problems and ensure the state’s success. She highlighted her contributions to bipartisan legislation, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the CHIPS and Science Act, which have brought significant investments to Arizona.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has provided over $1.5 billion for high-speed internet and $1 billion for clean water infrastructure in Arizona, while the CHIPS and Science Act secured $15 billion for semiconductor facilities in the state. Arizona is now home to major construction projects for TSMC and Intel, positioning the state as a national hub for research, innovation, and economic freedom.

Sinema urged Arizona businesses to support candidates who prioritize real solutions over partisan loyalty and are willing to compromise to achieve meaningful results. She emphasized the need for independent thinking and bipartisan collaboration in today’s polarized political environment.

During a question-and-answer session with Chamber President and CEO Danny Seiden, Sinema reflected on her political journey and discussed the increased polarization in today’s society. She explained her decision to re-register as an independent, citing her focus on independent thinking and bipartisan collaboration.

By advocating for commonsense legislation and supporting independent-minded candidates, Sinema believes the business community can ensure long-term success for Arizona. As she stated, “By putting Arizona first, businesses can thrive for the long term.”
