Members of Southern Arizona’s congressional delegation have chosen their guests for Tuesday’s State of the Union address, each using the opportunity to make a statement about their political or social priorities. Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego announced his guest will be Kyle Rahn, a disabled veteran and federal worker who was recently fired during cuts to the federal workforce. Gallego hopes to highlight the real people impacted by political decisions. On the House side, Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani is bringing Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple to emphasize the importance of law enforcement in keeping communities safe.
Democratic Senator Mark Kelly will bring his twin brother and fellow astronaut Scott Kelly, without providing a reason. Meanwhile, Democratic Representative Raul Grijalva has made no announcement about his guest and has missed votes since the 2024 election due to cancer treatment. This year’s State of the Union address is sure to be impactful with these diverse and meaningful choices in attendance.
