Navigating Divided Government

The current divided government in Arizona presents challenges for legislative leaders, particularly for Republican Senate President Warren Peterson. Despite facing a Democratic governor, Peterson highlights that a majority of the bills proposed by Republicans have been successfully signed into law. He acknowledges that while vetoes receive significant attention, the reality is that many bipartisan and even some Republican-only bills manage to pass through the legislative process. This indicates that effective negotiation and collaboration are pivotal in moving forward with legislative priorities amidst this political landscape.
