T.J. Shope, an Arizona State Senator representing the 16th Senate District, shared his reactions and experiences on social media during September 2025, touching on sports and travel.
On September 7, 2025, Shope posted a brief reaction to a sporting event: “Well that really blows… #GoDevils”. Later that day, he reflected further on the outcome of the game with a message about the Arizona State University football program: “Well, if there’s a silver lining to today’s disappointing first-half and ending of the game, it’s this. We’re a program worthy of rushing the field over after an upset win. @ASUFootball and @KennyDillingham will learn a lot of lessons from this game and we’re going to be in it”.
In another post from the same day, Shope shared a personal moment from his travels: “One last sunset from the Island of Hawaii in the beautiful State of Hawaii! #BigIsland #Kona #State50 #Aloha #Mahalo”.
Shope was elected to the Arizona State Senate in 2023 as a Republican, succeeding Kelly Townsend as representative for District 16.
