Summary
Arizona mourns the loss of Carl Kunasek, the 94-year-old Republican who served as president of the Arizona Senate and helped create the state’s Medicaid program. A lifelong public servant with deep roots in state politics, Kunasek shaped Arizona’s energy policy, regulatory landscape, and GOP strategy for decades — even attending an election night party in 2022 to rally support for Karrin Taylor Robson. His legacy endures in the very systems he helped build. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
