Alexander Kolodin

Rep. Alexander Kolodin crafted a law designed to prevent public officials from using the courts to punish and prevent speech on political issues.

State lawmakers gave final approval Monday to erase the possibility that transgender Arizonans can ever have their birth certificates amended, a move that one advocate said is tantamount to "genocide at its worst.'
