That starts with upgrading Arizona’s infrastructure and expanding job training for Arizonans, including those who won’t get a four year degree. Senator Kelly helped shape and pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that is already upgrading Arizona’s roads and bridges , modernizing our ports of entry , improving our water infrastructure , and delivering much-needed high-speed internet access to our rural and tribal communities. This bill is bringing high-paying jobs to Arizona and ensuring that it remains the best place to live, work, start a business, and raise a family. Preparing Arizonans with the skills needed to fill the jobs of the future, like those created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is an important priority for Senator Kelly. He has been working to build new job training centers in Arizona , strengthen apprenticeship and job training programs , as well as investing in microchip manufacturing and our state’s growing tech and defense sectors.","source_url":"https://www.kelly.senate.gov/priorities","source_date":"2026-05-10"},{"topic":"Immigration","stance":"Securing Arizona’s Border and Fixing Our Broken Immigration System","detail":"Arizonans know all too well what it means to see Washington fail on border security and immigration. Senator Kelly has seen these challenges firsthand in his numerous visits to the Arizona-Mexico border and in meetings with Border Patrol, mayors, local law enforcement, and Arizonans who live and work on the border. He’s introduced bipartisan legislation to require the federal government to develop a coordinated response that ensures a safe, orderly, and humane process at the border. Senator Kelly will continue to push the administration to provide better communication and more resources to secure our border. Addressing this challenge must include investments in advanced technology and staffing at the border, upgrading ports of entry, more immigration judges, fencing and barriers where they make sense, and modernizing our legal immigration system to set up Arizona’s economy for success and keep families together. This includes protecting Dreamers who were brought to this country as young children and are just as American as Senator Kelly’s two daughters. They deserve a pathway to become American citizens so they can continue to contribute to our communities. We also need to provide an earned pathway to citizenship that would require individuals to pay a fee and pass a background check for those who have lived and worked in our communities for years. This is a priority for Arizona and Senator Kelly will continue working with Republicans and Democrats, as well as the administration, to improve border security and fix our immigration system in a way that is true to our values and supports Arizona’s community and economy.
