At a time when the federal government is controlled by Leftists, state legislatures offer a critical avenue for implementing conservative policy priorities.
The following list is not exhaustive—conservatives are accomplishing a lot—but we wanted to highlight some wins to show what’s capable when the grassroots get involved.
- Utah enacted two laws to strengthen election integrity. SB 219 bans private funding of election offices (or “Zuck Bucks”) and HB 313 strengthens voter ID requirements.
- The Arizona legislature passed three separate bills to defend life, preserve womens’ sports, and secure elections. SB 1164 strengthens protections for the unborn by banning abortions after 15 weeks, SB 1165 protects women’s athletics by ensuring biological men can’t compete with them, and HB 2492 will require proof of citizenship to vote. We urge Governor Ducey to sign these bills into law as soon as possible!
- Kentucky ensures the administration of elections are funded by the people, and not billionaires with a political agenda. It’s important that the administration of elections remains non-partisan. HB 301, which became law this week, makes sure that billionaires and special interests can’t tilt the scales by directly funding the government’s election operations.
