Katie Ptak is one of the most qualified and competent people I know to lead the Department of Child Safety.
Her personal experience as a foster-adoptive mother brings a level of empathy Arizona families dealing with DCS deserve.
I hope the State Senate takes up her nomination soon.

So proud of my good friend Katie Ptak, and as an Arizonan, I’m grateful she’s willing to do this very difficult job.
Not only is Katie an excellent public servant and leader, she has a real passion for our most vulnerable children. She has walked the walk, and brings heart and purpose in this cause.
We were blessed to have her as part of the Ducey Administration.

Angela and I were so honored to attend today’s ribbon cutting for the AZ Welcome Center — a best-in-class facility to serve children in great need of care. It was a moment to stop and recognize all the work that has been done to support Arizona’s most vulnerable kids. 1/2

On #VietnamVeteransDay, we honor our nation’s brave Vietnam War Veterans - like John McCain - for their incredible service and sacrifice.
Senator McCain dedicated his life to our country and the great state of Arizona. 🇺🇸🌵

I believe it, because I’m a product of it.
Let’s keep it that way, and ensure that everyone has those same opportunities that are only made possible here in America. 🇺🇸
