ARIZONA'S POLITICAL SHORTS

3:30pm: Here was the roll call in the House this week on the disaster aid package. Arizona's Democratic Representatives all voted "aye" - the entire Democratic caucus did. Arizona's four Republicans all voted "nay", though 2 out of 3 Republicans voted in favor of the package.

Before the Memorial Day recess, Arizona Senator Martha McSally was among the 8 Senators to vote against the measure.

President Donald Trump signed the bill this afternoon, while taking credit for Puerto Rico aid being included in the measure.

Just signed Disaster Aid Bill to help Americans who have been hit by recent catastrophic storms. So important for our GREAT American farmers and ranchers. Help for GA, FL, IA, NE, NC, and CA. Puerto Rico should love President Trump. Without me, they would have been shut out! pic.twitter.com/HXvYYdcNW5
