Today we recognize the sacrifices of military spouses who lost a loved one in the line of duty. This day honors the grieving wives and husbands who deserve our support, understanding and respect.

The Gold Star originated during WWI when service families flew flags with blue stars on them to indicate family members who were serving. If a service member died, the blue star was replaced with gold to know the price that the family had paid in the cause of freedom. Today, a Gold Star lapel buttons are awarded to surviving family members.

To our Gold Star Spouses, thank you for your sacrifices.

Governor Katie Hobbs has announced the launch of Power AZ, a program to expand access to critical utility assistance and manage the high cost of energy for working Arizona families.

Power AZ expands eligibility beyond the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) income limits. Under this initiative, a family of four with an annual income of $108,000 may be eligible for bill assistance, meaning an estimated 30,000 new households whose income otherwise exceeds the LIHEAP income threshold will be considered for utility assistance through the Power AZ initiative.
