Two Republicans joined Democrats Wednesday to kill a scaled-down state budget proposal.  

A resolution to stop schools from adopting, endorsing, or adhering to ideas known as “critical race theory” passed a Senate panel today on party lines. 

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs insisted Tuesday’s gubernatorial race in Virginia – in which Republican Glenn Youngkin upset Democrat Terry McAuliffe – is not a precursor to a “red wave” that could threaten her chance to become Arizona’s next governor. 

Rep. Michelle Udall has become the latest House member to seek higher office. 

More than 100 constituents pressured Republican lawmakers for months to crack down on “critical race theory” in schools, calling it Marxist or urging them not to negotiate with Democrats on the budget, according to emails.

Republican lawmakers voted Friday to require that students be exposed to the stories of people who have fled communism as part of a curriculum to prepare them to be "civically responsible and knowledgeable adults.''

The Senate’s passage of a massive voucher expansion will test the resolve of two Republican House members who killed the expansion earlier this year.

Supporters of a ballot measure to let immigrants living in Arizona without authorization pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities have formed a political action committee to get their message out.

Now, she and other advocates are gearing up for a campaign to convince voters next year that making it possible for young people who are in the U.S. without legal status to attend college is both the right thing to do for those individuals and benefits the state as a whole.

Arizona voters will decide in November 2022 whether immigrants in this country illegally who are Arizona residents should be allowed to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities.
