Ducey backs leadership, decisions on COVID-19 during State of the State address By Megan McNeil | January 11, 2021 at 5:46 PM MST - Updated January 11 at 5:53 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Gov. Doug Ducey gave his annual State of the State address Monday, Jan. 11, 2021, talking at length about COVID-19. However, before the governor broached the topic of the pandemic, he spent several minutes condemning the violence seen the week before on Capitol Hill.
“It was a sickening day in Washington D.C., that no American will ever forget. In the United States of America, violence and vandalism have no place in the people’s House. Perpetrators should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Let us condemn it and resolve that it never happens again,” Ducey said.
