ICYMI: In Phoenix, Senator Kelly and Mayor Gallego Host Roundtable on Federal Medicaid Cuts and Impact on Arizonans’ Health Care 

While in Phoenix, Kelly also sat down with local Latino business owners at Tacos Huicho to hear concerns on tariffs and workforce shortages 

In case you missed it, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego hosted a Medicaid round table yesterday with community leaders to discuss how federal cuts to Medicaid will affect the services they provide and health care for Phoenix residents. 

Trump’s big bill is set to kick over 300,000 Arizonans off their health insurance and drive up the cost of care. The group discussed the best ways to support Medicaid recipients and the broader Phoenix community who may lose health coverage and access to essential services.

While in Phoenix, Kelly also joined Latino small business owners at Tacos Huicho, a family-owned restaurant operated by Mauricio Mena and Maria Leticia Torres. Kelly heard firsthand how the Trump administration’s tariff and immigration policies are driving up prices, causing supply chain delays, creating workforce challenges, and affecting community trust. Kelly reaffirmed his commitment to Arizona small businesses and his opposition to Trump’s tariffs policies that are making things harder on them and their customers.
