On Wednesday, Family Policy Alliance announced their annual Craig’s List Awards, which includes seven different awards for the states going above and beyond in family policy. The top award given each year is the “Most Pro-Family State” award.

Craig DeRoche, President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance, said of the awards, “One of the strongest indictments against the Biden Administration’s woke agenda is the good work being done in the states. Around the nation, pro-family advocates are protecting life, stopping harmful childhood gender transitions, and expanding religious freedom and parental rights.

“These victories would not have been possible if not for the work of courageous leaders in each state – particularly the leadership of state Family Policy Councils. They are a group of selfless, driven men and women fighting to protect children and families around the nation, and it is an honor to host their alliance.”

The Craig’s List Awards for 2023 are:
