Described variously as a train wreck, dumpster fire, topsy-turvy, and quarrelsome (Governor description), the 2025 legislative session of the Fifty-seventh Legislature's First Regular Session concluded on June 27 with a bipartisan budget signed just in time to keep the government functioning. Gov. Hobbs broke her own veto record, vetoing 174 bills (many of which were voter suppression bills that the league opposed), compared with 143 in 2023, her first year in office.

After two years of hard work researching, writing and editing, an incredible team of League members have published an illuminating white paper on Arizona redistricting and the role of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC).

In June 2025, the League of Women Voters national Board was pleased to announce the adoption of the new League position on the Federal Judiciary.
