Senator Mark Finchem, a Republican representing Arizona’s 1st Senate District, published a series of posts on his social media account on October 8, 2025, addressing issues related to prosecution, government spending, and the need for policy discussions.
In a post made at 11:35 a.m. UTC, Finchem commented on the subject of criminal prosecution, stating, “Sen. Mazie Hirono is a total nut job. If a crime was committed, it should be prosecuted; if not, there is no prosecution. BTW, that goes for republicans as much as democrats. #cleanuptime https://t.co/LomYYl5nBU”.
Shortly after, at 11:37 a.m. UTC, Finchem criticized federal spending proposals, writing, “Just like you and Shutdown Schumer demanding $1 1Billion for illegals, it is ridiculous. https://t.co/P3k6SeVT0e”.
Later that day, at 4:34 p.m. UTC, he called for more substantive discussions on policy matters with the post, “Clearly the time is now for serious conversations! @DigitalGoldTalk https://t.co/mS6N69ZmY9”.
Finchem assumed office in the Arizona State Senate in 2025 after being elected to represent the state’s 1st Senate District, succeeding Ken Bennett.
