Today, President Donald J. Trump returns to the Grand Canyon State for a visit to Bullhead City. He arrives with a clear record of America First results that put Arizona workers, families, seniors, and communities first — delivering tax relief, unleashing major private investment, ending the Biden-era border crisis, driving down violent crime, and securing Arizona’s critical water resources.

Delivering Tax Relief for Hardworking Arizonans

President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering direct relief to Arizona workers, families, and seniors.

• No Tax on Social Security: Approximately 1.3 million Arizona seniors benefit from the new senior deduction.
• Bigger Refunds: Arizona taxpayers saw average refunds of $3,659 in 2026.
• Rural Health Investments: Arizona secured $167 million in first-year Rural Health Transformation Program funding.
• Protecting Jobs and Wages: The Working Families Tax Cuts safeguarded 119,000 Arizona jobs, $22 billion in state GDP, and $11 billion in workers’ wages.

Unleashing an Investment Boom in Arizona

President Trump’s agenda of tax cuts, energy dominance, secure borders, and pro-growth policies has attracted major private capital and high-quality jobs to Arizona.

• Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is expanding advanced semiconductor manufacturing at its Phoenix facility with a $200 billion investment.
• EVelution Energy is building an $850 million cobalt processing facility in Yuma County, creating 3,300 jobs.
• Amkor Technology is constructing a $2 billion semiconductor packaging and test facility in Peoria, creating 2,200 jobs.
• Hadrian is establishing a $200 million large-scale manufacturing and software hub in Mesa, creating 350 jobs.
• Cyclic Materials is developing its first $20 million commercial facility in Mesa.

Securing the Southern Border

President Trump ended the Biden-era border crisis and restored control at the southern border.

• The Trump Administration has not released a single illegal alien into the country at the border for 16 consecutive months.
• Southern border apprehensions in August were 94% lower than the monthly average under Biden.
• Refugee admissions in the first ten months of this fiscal year are down almost 90% from 2024.
• The Working Families Tax Cuts allocated $46.5 billion to complete the border wall.
• Fentanyl and other drug trafficking are down, with CBP seizing 73% more drugs this fiscal year through August than in the same period of FY 2024, and 61% more than the average for the same period over the prior four years.
• The Trump Administration transferred 285 acres of public land in Yuma County along the U.S.-Mexico border to the Department of the Navy to establish a National Defense Area in direct support of border security operations.

Making Safer Streets Across Arizona

Violent crime is falling as President Trump’s law-and-order agenda delivers real results for Arizona communities.

• Violent crime fell 13% statewide last year, including a 13% drop in homicides, an 11% drop in aggravated assaults, a 24% drop in robberies, and a 10% drop in sexual assaults.
• In Mesa, homicides fell 33% and rapes fell 15% in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year.
• In Phoenix, homicides fell 22% and robberies fell 19% in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year.
• In Tucson, homicides fell 24% and robberies fell 10% in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year.

Protecting Arizona’s Water Resources

The Trump Administration is making targeted investments to strengthen Arizona’s water supply and long-term resilience.

• In July 2025, the Bureau of Reclamation announced a $179 million investment to design and construct the North Gateway Advanced Water Purification Facility in Phoenix.
• In May 2025, the Trump Administration finalized 18 short-term System Conservation Implementation agreements with water entitlement holders in Arizona and California to increase conservation of Colorado River System water.

President Trump and Republicans are delivering America First policies that put Arizona first: lower taxes, major private investment, a secure border, safer communities, and critical water infrastructure. Arizonans face a clear choice between continuing this progress, or returning to the higher taxes, energy restrictions, and open borders policies of the past.
