Kennedy Jr., Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.) and Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.). Arizona state Sen. Jake Hoffman (R) organized the event.

Kirk was fatally shot on Wednesday at a campus event in Utah. /// "The service will be a unifying event focused on prayer, mourning, and celebrating the life, legacy, and memory of Charlie Kirk -- a national treasure whose life was cut far too short," a press release announcing the event reads.
