Government Officials
Many services for older adults rely on government funding or regulation, like the Older Americans Act, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. It is important that your elected officials hear from you. If you have questions on pending legislation or would like to take action to help older adults, please contact (520) 305-3415 or visit pcoa.org/how-you-can-help/advocate.
Arizona State Legislators
The Arizona State Legislature is comprised of two bodies, the State House of Representatives and the State Senate. In Arizona, there are 30 districts. Each district elects one State Senator and two members to the State House. Once both bodies pass the same legislative language, the bill can be either signed or vetoed by the State’s Governor.
