Given the opportunity to pass a bi-partisan fix to a bill that has hammered Arizona, Kirkpatrick didn’t even show up to work. In fact, she hasn’t shown up to work all week.

So where is Ann Kirkpatrick? She’s not carrying out her official work in Washington, D.C. She doesn’t appear to be campaigning in Arizona. She owes voters and taxpayers an answer, because while they’re paying her salary, it looks like she’s abdicating her duties.

If Kirkpatrick doesn’t want to stand up for seniors and the middle class by passing a bi-partisan fix to Obamacare, she should at least show up to work and put herself on the record.

Kirkpatrick needs to explain – if she’s not doing her job, what is she doing?
