In this June 13, 2011 file photo, from left, Sen. Steve Yarbrough, R-Chandler, Sen. Ron Gould, R-Lake Havasu City, Sen. Adam Driggs, R-Phoenix, and Sen. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, all bow their heads in prayer for those involved in the wildfires in Arizona during a special session in the senate chambers at the Capitol in Phoenix. Smith, a conservative Christian, said Wednesday, May 22, 2013, that the prayer offered by Democratic Rep.
