Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed a bill that would have honored the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk on license plates in the Grand Canyon State.
“Charlie Kirk’s assassination is tragic and a horrifying act of violence. In America, we resolve our political differences at the ballot box. No matter who it targets, political violence puts us all in harm’s way and damages our sacred democratic institutions,” Hobbs wrote in her Friday veto letter.
“I will continue working toward solutions that bring people together, but this bill falls short of that standard by inserting politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan,” she added.
Legislation honoring Kirk, who lived in Arizona, passed in the state Senate in a 16-2 vote and in the state House in a 31-23 vote. The state House and Senate are controlled by Republicans.
