In his role as Arizona Senate President, Senator Warren Petersen defended legislation that protected women’s sports when Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes would not. So it not surprising that he was on hand when women’s sports received the ultimate protection.
Petersen joined President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday for the signing of an executive order to ban men and boys from competing on women and girls’ sports teams.

Under Petersen’s leadership, Senate Republicans championed the Save Women’s Sports Act in 2022 to ensure women and girls have a fair playing field. When Mayes sat on the sidelines and refused to defend this Arizona law in court, Republicans took on the fight.
Schools that allow boys to play in girls sports will lose funding and be investigated. Today marks the end of men in womens sports. https://t.co/Eai88Fwcxy

Petersen personally sat through hours of deposition, and the case has made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court where it is currently awaiting consideration.
Petersen says Trumps’ executive order signing ceremony on this National Girls and Women in Sports Day represents a culmination of Republican efforts at both the state and federal levels to save women’s sports.
“The war against women and girls is now taking a dramatic turn for the better, and sanity is being reinstated. This is exactly the common sense that Arizona and America voted for,” said Petersen. “Thanks to President Trump, American girls can once again pursue their dreams. No longer will athletic titles be stolen from them by males. An overwhelming 70% of Americans agree on this issue, which is a key reason why approval ratings of Democrat elected officials are at an all time low. I’m proud to join President Trump in Washington D.C. for this historic moment. He is going to make girls’ sports great again, and I know that he will never stop fighting for us.”
The NCAA responded to executive order, saying it provided a “clear, national standard.”
A win for commonsense. I’m still shocked it takes this much special effort by President Trump, Senate President Petersen, and others to get men out of women’s sports.
The woke. DEI, LBGT etc ideology has permeated society for a long time. It was lurking under the surface in schools and education but inattentive people did not realize it. It will be hard to rooted it out.
next it’ll be they have had womb transplants and demand play time
Unbelieb]vale that America needs a law to do the right thing!
