Summary
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have created a specialty license plate honoring Charlie Kirk, the late founder of Turning Point USA. The proposed plate featured a photo of Kirk and the TPUSA logo, with the words “FOR CHARLIE” underneath the license plate number. The bill had passed the state Senate and House of Representatives, but Hobbs cited concerns that it would “insert politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan.” Republicans are blasting the veto as an act of partisanship.
