I could not be prouder of my State and (some of) the people we elected who showed great courage in doing this. Also, a thumbs up to AG Brnovich. He is running for US Senate in hopes of defeating Mark Kelly. This is going to give him a bump for sure.
That sucks and why the dems had to stalled until after Jan 6th.

Need to pass these laws in every state and tell the NFL, NCCA, MLB, NBA it’s settled law - move on …
