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. @ArizonaDCS
.@GovernorHobbs is nominating Kathryn Ptak to be the next director of @ArizonaDCS She is currently the agency's general counsel, but will take the reins on Monday as she awaits state Senate confirmation. Ptak previously worked as the agency's legislative liaison

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

It’s great to see new leaders like @RepCiscomani articulate the genuine pride and hope this amazing country inspires.
From washing cars with my dad to presiding over the U.S. House of Representatives. Where else in the world could we have our story? Only in America 🇺🇸

The VET-TEC Authorization Act is much needed to: 🇺🇸 Support our Veterans 🇺🇸 Protect our nation from rising #cyberattacks 🇺🇸 Boost our Economy 🇺🇸 Help fill 755,000 vacant #cybersecurity jobs nationwide 🇺🇸 Better protect our technology supply chain Excellent work @RepCiscomani! – at Austin, TX
Our country is undergoing a digital revolution. We need to make sure our veterans don't get left behind. 
My VET-TEC Authorization Act will equip veterans with the technical skills necessary to thrive in the tech industry.

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. 🇺🇸🌵
