PHOENIX, AZ – The Arizona House of Representatives is mourning the loss of Rep. Frank Pratt, who passed away today after a long illness. Colleagues and politicos on both sides of the political aisle expressed sadness at his passing.

He served the state honorably- Not only are our prayers with him and his family – but our service to them if needed is as well. Thank you Frank for all that you did and accomplished for our great state. #LD08 https://t.co/nqEZHtsmKa
