During the annual lunch, Sinema highlighted her legislation that is expected to expand economic opportunities and create thousands of jobs across Arizona. Sinema also addressed some of the most challenging issues facing Arizona’s growing economy, including inflation and the rising costs of gas and groceries, and current supply chain challenges, Ukraine, and the impending removal of Title 42.
“I’m proud to count the Arizona Chamber of Commerce as a trusted partner in fueling economic growth for our state, and helping Arizonans return to normal and thrive. I’ll continue staying laser focused on creating good-paying jobs and expanding economic opportunities so Arizonans can keep more of their own money in their pockets,” said Sinema, co-author and lead negotiator of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law.
During her keynote address, Sinema underscored her leadership on key bipartisan policies expanding American research, innovation, and manufacturing, such as her COMPETES Act – legislation boosting America’s global leadership, spurring job creation across Arizona, and addressing supply chain challenges by investing in American manufacturing of semiconductors. In addition to strengthening national security, increasing semiconductor production in Arizona helps reduce prices and shipping delays for electronic goods while creating thousands of high-paying jobs.
With projects already underway in Arizona, Sinema says her bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law ensures Arizona’s economy continues to thrive making historic investments to strengthen broadband, airports, wildfire mitigation, water systems and drought resilience, electricity and power grids, natural resources and energy production, and Land Ports of Entry – all without raising taxes on everyday Arizonans.
