Arizona Dems Censure Kyrsten Sinema for Opposing Filibuster Exception for Voting Rights Legislation

HeadlineJan 24, 2022

The Arizona Democratic Party censured Senator Kyrsten Sinema Saturday for voting against a rules change that would have allowed Democrats to bypass a Republican filibuster and pass major voting rights legislation. In a statement, Chair of the Arizona Democratic Party Raquel Terán said, “In the choice between an archaic legislative norm and protecting Arizonans’ right to vote, we choose the latter. … The ramifications of failing to pass federal legislation that protects their right to vote are too large and far-reaching.”
