　　MK: Yes. Our first date was to death row at the Florence state prison in Arizona, which was just outside Gabby's state senate district. They were working on some legislation that had to do with crime and punishment and capital punishment in the state of Arizona.

Within an hour of Gabby being shot, I was on an airplane to Tucson, and that was the moment where that had changed things.
