“I am congratulating the Tanque Verde Unified School District on its 140th anniversary. It has provided great public education to its community since 1886.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 140th anniversary of Tanque Verde Unified School District. Since 1886, the district has been providing public education in the Tanque Verde Valley. The first Tanque Verde school opening its doors all those years ago began a legacy of service and education that has impacted generations of valley residents. Through the work of dedicated staff and the commitment of students and their families, Tanque Verde schools have served as an example of excellent public education. The district will celebrate this historic milestone on September 23, bringing together members of the Tanque Verde community, both past and present, as a picture of the community’s rich and unique history and honor the people who have made the district’s success possible. To superintendent Dr. Scott Hagerman, teachers and staff, and students and families, congratulations on an incredible 140 years. Through their work and dedication, Tanque Verde Valley is home to outstanding public education. Congratulations again, and here is to many, many more wonderful academic years ahead and lives impacted of our future generations through the power of public education.

“I am honoring the Warrior Healing Center in Sierra Vista, Arizona. The center supports local veterans and works to stop veteran suicide.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the work of the Warrior Healing Center in Sierra Vista, Arizona. The Warrior Healing Center, which I was honored to visit earlier this year, is a pillar of the local veteran community. The center provides community and peer support to veterans throughout Sierra Vista with the goal of eliminating veteran suicide throughout Cochise County. The Warrior Healing Center cares for those who have served through crisis intervention, command and control, and a one-stop shop with several veteran organizations under the same roof. The center’s dedicated work ensures that local veterans have access to the resources and the tools that they need to thrive. Veterans who come to the Warrior Healing Center are met with a caring staff and volunteers, which I have met, who are committed to understanding their individual needs. Through their efforts, these veterans are able to receive amazing short-term and also long-term support. I thank Director Cathie Goodman, Chief Clerk Dr. Tim Kirk, and everyone at the Warrior Healing Center for all the work that they do for our veterans. Their efforts have made an incredible impact in Sierra Vista, in Cochise County, and beyond as well. I wish them all the best as they continue to provide veterans with the support they need after sacrificing so much for our country. recognizing tanque verde unified school district’s 140th anniversary”

“I am marking the final A-10 plane flight at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. This ends 50 years of A-10 flying and training at the base. I want to thank the base leaders and the squadron for their service.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the last official A-10 flight at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. On July 29, the 357th Fighter Squadron commander, Lieutenant Colonel Ryan ``Clutch’’ Rutter, and the 355th Operations Group commander, Lieutenant Colonel Rodney Dwyer, will mark the end of a phenomenal 50- year chapter of A-10 operations in Tucson. This spring, Davis-Monthan also celebrated the graduation of the final class of the A-10C Thunderbolt II student pilots from the 357th Training Squadron, marking the end of A-10 training at the base. These milestones bear historical significance and represent a longtime connection between the A-10, Davis-Monthan, and the Tucson community. The A-10 Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the Warthog, has great military significance not just in Tucson but across the Nation. Designed during the Cold War to combat Soviet tanks in Europe, this aircraft is the Air Force’s only one built exclusively for close air support, or CAS. The A-10 has served the U.S. military for decades. While it will no longer be in use at Davis-Monthan, this aircraft will continue to be an essential asset of our Nation’s military. I thank Lieutenant Colonels Rutter and Dwyer, for their outstanding leadership at Davis-Monthan. I congratulate both lieutenant colonels, the 357th Fighter Squadron, and everyone at Davis-Monthan on an extraordinary 50 years of A-10 operations. The last official A-10 flight on July 29 will be remembered as a significant milestone at Davis-Monthan, and our community will proudly remember this incredible 50-year chapter in our city’s history.”

“I want to congratulate the Salpointe Catholic High School softball team for winning the state championship. This is their seventh title in nine years, and our community is proud of their hard work.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Salpointe Catholic High School softball team on winning the 2026 4A State championship title. This victory marks the team’s seventh title in the last nine years. Confident in the team’s ability to win this year’s title, Salpointe Coach Tricia Sztan and her staff ordered shirts with the slogan ``#TakeItBack2026’’ written on the back. At the beginning of the fifth inning, senior second baseman Alyssa Montano led with a single and advanced to second with the help of senior pitcher-outfielder Soli Ramos. Then Catherine ``Peaches’’ Sztan hit an RBI single to center field that scored Montano and tied up the game at 2. The Lancers finished the fifth inning with three runs after an RBI single by senior catcher Sarah Camp and RBI double by senior first baseman CC Moraga with two outs which put the Lancers ahead 4-2. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Coach Sztan, the whole team, and everyone who made this win possible. Their hard work has made their school and our community very proud.
