OPINION — Earlier this year, I introduced a bill in the legislature to designate one of our state’s busiest freeways, Loop 202, as the Charlie Kirk Loop 202, in honor of the life, work and legacy of an Arizonan whose voice, energy and commitment to civic engagement resonated across this state and throughout the nation.
Charlie stood unapologetically for free speech, open debate and civic participation. For future generations to understand and celebrate those ideals, this bill must become law.
Charlie Kirk devoted his life to public discourse and political participation. He traveled the country — and even the world — engaging Americans, especially young people, in robust discussion on the issues that shape our future.
