Arizona State Representative Rachel (Jones) Keshel has used her social media platform to comment on immigration policy, the political climate ahead of the midterm elections, and legislative workload in late February 2026.

On February 25, 2026, Jones posted: “I fully agree with POTUS that democrats throwing the door wide open to the world is turning out to be deadly in more ways than we ever could have imagined. We have to ensure that this ridiculousness is NOT ALLOWED in Arizona!”

The following day, on February 26, she wrote: “This is VERY helpful for the midterms. Thank you, Democrats for showing your true, and very unpopular colors. Thank you @POTUS for continuing to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Later that evening, Jones commented on the legislative process: “Well, we have 156 bills left to vote tonight and it’s almost 10 PM. This is why we call it Hell Week.”

Jones was elected as a Republican to represent Arizona’s 17th House District in 2023, succeeding Jennifer Pawlik.
