Fink Slams Hobbs

State Representative Lisa Fink (R-27) scathingly condemned Governor Katie Hobbs' (D-AZ) veto of several Arizona bills about parental rights, vaccine requirements, election reform, and single-sex spaces, saying, "These bills reflect what most Arizonans believe."

House Bill 2058, for instance, would allow adult students of Arizona's public colleges and universities to be fully informed of their right to opt out of vaccine requirements for medical or religious reasons.

Similarly, House Bill 2063 would require schools to inform parents that they can claim vaccine exemptions for their children.

The electoral reform bill, House Bill 2060, asserted Arizona's authority to set voting, citizenship, and residency qualifications in federal elections within the Grand Canyon State.

Finally, House Bill 2062 would set the legal definition of gendered terms, such as "male," "female,"mother," and "father," to their biological definitions rather than identity-based ones, thereby protecting single-sex spaces such as restrooms, locker rooms, and domestic violence or sexual assault crisis centers.
