Dec 5, 2023

In August, Sinema promised Arizonans she would identify a solution to overcome Senator Tuberville’s holds on military promotions

WASHINGTON – The office of Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema released the following regarding U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville’s decision to remove his holds on military promotions:

“Senator Sinema told Arizonans in August that she was working on a solution to protect our military readiness and the Senate – and that’s exactly what she’s done. By ignoring hyperbolic partisan rhetoric and working in good faith with Senator Tuberville, Chairman Reed, Senate leaders, and her colleagues on both sides of the aisle for months, Kyrsten found a path forward that ensures we can move forward with military promotions.” –Hannah Hurley, Communications Director

In August, Sinema promised Arizonans she would identify a solution to overcome Senator Tuberville’s holds on military promotions. After the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules passed the Sinema-Reed resolution, Senator Tuberville removed his holds on military promotions.
