Arizona Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly are urging the Biden administration to reconsider closing the Bureau of Indian Affairs Western Regional Office in Phoenix. The closure is part of a nationwide downsizing effort by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Arizona Senators oppose closure of BIA's Phoenix office, highlighting its importance to 53 tribes and questioning the rationale behind the proposed cuts.

Union support still matters in Democratic politics and Kelly has moved to erase organized labor's doubts about him.

Senators Kelly and Gallego reintroduce a bill to transfer forest land to Gila County, aiming to create a veterans' community center and retreat space.

Kelly blamed the Trump administration for making veterans' health care more difficult by indiscriminately dumping staffers.

Sen. Mark Kelly has long backed Ukraine in its war with Russia and spoken in harsh terms about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
