Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers, ranked as Arizona’s most prolific lawmaker, circulated a letter to her subscriber list this week asserting that national Democratic organizations are preparing to spend heavily in Arizona legislative races. She cited her legislative effectiveness and past leadership roles as a motivating factor. In the message, Rogers claimed that outside political groups are seeking to weaken or remove lawmakers who have played central roles in advancing conservative policy, particularly in elections and the judiciary. Their primary goal is flipping control of the Arizona Legislature.
“They want NO PART of having me in charge of the Judiciary and Elections Committee again,” Rogers wrote, adding that she has sponsored and advanced legislation that “make life uncomfortable” for Democrats.
Legislative Productivity Data
Public data from the Arizona Legislature shows Rogers ranked as the number one bill sponsor in the Senate during the 2025 legislative session.
According to bill-tracking stats, the top Republican Senate bill sponsors in 2025 were:
- Sen. Wendy Rogers (R) — 22 bills
- Sen. John Kavanagh (R) — 17 bills
- Sen. Janae Shamp (R) — 12 bills
- Sen. Mark Finchem (R) — 6 bills
- Sen. David Farnsworth (R) — 4 bills
Pointing to that output level, Rogers argued that legislative work, not rhetoric, is what drives policy outcomes. “This is how you win,” she wrote. “We work, we legislate, and we push solutions.”
Committee Workload and Policy Areas
Committee data further shows that the Judiciary and Elections Committee, of which Rogers has played a key role, handled a significant share of legislation during the session. It ranked second only to the rules committee, underscoring the central role election law, court procedure, and government accountability played during the session.
Senate Committees by Bills Heard:
- Rules Committee — 110 bills
- Judiciary and Elections Committee — 82 bills
- Education Accountability and Reform — 59 bills
- Government Institutions — 58 bills
- Regulatory Affairs and Government Efficiency — 54 bills
Rogers cited that workload as evidence of effectiveness, noting that her committee was among the top in advancing legislation.
House Bill Activity Mirrors Senate Trends
Similar trends were seen in the Arizona House, where Republican lawmakers dominated bill sponsorship totals.
Top Republican House Bill Sponsors:
- Rep. Selina Bliss (R) — 20 bills
- Rep. Lisa Fink (R) — 18 bills
- Rep. Gail Griffin (R) — 16 bills
- Rep. Nick Kupper (R) — 11 bills
- Rep. Rachel Keshel (R) — 10 bills
House committees with the highest bill volume included Rules, Appropriations, Commerce, Judiciary, and Government.
Collaboration and National Attention
In her letter, Rogers also emphasized cooperation within the Republican caucus, writing that her colleagues “know you have my back,” and that this support is why they “listen and work with me to get things done.” She added that collaboration is reciprocal, saying she works with fellow senators “to pass the solutions we need for Arizona.”
Legislative records show that election- and government-related bills frequently advanced with support from Republican leadership and committee members, reflecting coordinated efforts within the caucus on priority policy areas. Rogers pointed to those outcomes as evidence that legislative results are driven by sustained work rather than political messaging. “This is how you win,” she wrote. “We work, we legislate, and we push solutions.”
Arizona has become a focal point for national political organizations in recent election cycles, with both parties investing heavily in legislative races viewed as pivotal to controlling state policy on elections, education, and regulatory authority.
Rogers did not name specific organizations or donors but argued that national spending is aimed at stopping lawmakers who are actively advancing policy. “They want no part of me passing bills that make life uncomfortable,” she wrote.
As the 2026 election cycle approaches, legislative productivity, committee leadership, and voting records are expected to play an increasingly central role in campaign messaging.
