AZ Legislature Passes 'Charlie Kirk' Highway Bill, But Will Dem Gov. Katie Hobbs Do the Right Thing and Sign It?

A bill to rename a highway in the Phoenix area after slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk passed the Arizona House on Wednesday, meaning it is off to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs’ desk for a signature, and if she’s smart politically, she’ll sign it.

The Arizona Senate already passed the legislation that would name the Loop 202 freeway, which runs on the southeast side of the Phoenix Metro area, near Turning Point USA’s headquarters, “Charlie Kirk Loop 202.”

Both the state Senate and House have a Republican majority.

Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen posted Wednesday on social media, “We’ve named sections of freeways after Democrats before — that’s nothing new. Surely we can show the same bipartisan spirit by honoring a courageous Republican who was assassinated for boldly exercising his First Amendment rights and defending freedom of speech.”

He continued, “Charlie Kirk devoted his life to empowering young Americans to think critically, reject indoctrination, and stand unapologetically for liberty. His voice was silenced by violence, but his legacy of fearless advocacy should live on — starting with this fitting tribute on one of Arizona’s busiest freeways. Let’s hope the governor does the right thing and signs it. Honoring those who die in defense of our fundamental freedoms shouldn’t be a partisan issue.”
