Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after the House unanimously passed H.R. 3027, renaming the Postal Facility at 442 Miller Valley Road in Prescott, Arizona as the “Barry M. Goldwater Post Office”:

“I am proud that the House passed my legislation today honoring Barry Goldwater’s service to this nation. As many know, Barry Goldwater was a businessman-turned-statesman who served 5 terms in the United States Senate, and was the Republican nominee for president in 1964. He served Arizona and our nation with honor and integrity for decades.

“Leading up to the 1964 Presidential Election, he earned the moniker ‘Mr. Conservative’ for being so influential in the revival of political conservatism. Because of his experience as a senior officer in the Army Air Force Reserve, he took particular interest in national security issues, serving as Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 1981 to 1985, and then serving as Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee from 1985 to 1987. This legislation is a fitting tribute to an honorable Arizonan—one who served this nation in so many ways.”

Additional:

The entire Arizona Delegation—both Republicans and Democrats—are co-sponsors of the bill.
