Meet Roopali Desai, the newest USA TODAY Women of the Year honoree. The Arizona lawyer helped launch the state’s voter-approved recreational marijuana program, which she wrote and defended against various lawsuits. She successfully fought lawsuits and false claims about the presidential election after Joe Biden's narrow victory in the state. And she attained another victory when the state Supreme Court voided dozens of laws, including a ban on mask mandates, that lawmakers had improperly tied to the state budget.
