PHOENIX — Senator Mark Finchem is a co-sponsor of SB 1010, a bill that would designate Loop 202 as the Charlie Kirk Highway — a fitting tribute to one of Arizona’s most influential conservative leaders.
Charlie Kirk, an Arizonan who founded Turning Point USA in 2012, built it into a powerhouse organization that has engaged and mobilized millions of young people across the nation in defense of freedom, free markets, limited government, and the Constitution.
His work not only shaped modern conservative activism but also inspired a generation of young voters to become active participants in civic life, championing free speech, faith, economic liberty, individual rights, and American exceptionalism. Kirk’s bold leadership helped shift the political landscape, making conservatism vibrant and appealing to America’s youth. Even after his tragic assassination in September 2025, his legacy endures as millions continue to draw inspiration from his faith, courage, and unwavering dedication to these ideals.
SB 1010 would add the honorary designation “Charlie Kirk Highway” to Loop 202 without altering or removing any existing names on the roadway. This proposal pays lasting tribute to an Arizonan who dedicated his life to invigorating civic engagement and empowering the next generation. Naming a major highway after Charlie Kirk would be a powerful way for Arizona to honor his extraordinary contributions and ensure that his legacy of hope, activism, and patriotism continues to inspire future generations.
