Governor Katie Hobbs ordered flags at all state buildings be lowered to half-staff in honor of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Flags will stay at half staff until his interment; the date for interment has not been announced. 

Governor Hobbs issued the following statement: 

“Vice President Cheney was a dedicated public servant, serving our country under several presidential administrations beyond his two terms as vice president. He was a leader who respected political differences and was steadfast in his support of our nation’s founding principles. Our thoughts are with the Cheney family in this time of remembrance and memorial.”

Individuals, businesses and other organizations are encouraged to join in these tributes.
