When Arizona Governor Doug Ducey was on vacation and Secretary of State Michele Reagan was at a conference in Indianapolis, the state governorship role fell to Attorney General Mark Brnovich. To celebrate his newfound power, Brnovich asked Twitter followers if they had any requests while he was top dog.

Later on, Brnovich issued an official statement saying, “Clearly, we were having a little fun yesterday with our tweet… but I stand ready to assume any duties or fulfill any responsibilities necessary, should the governor need me.” He continued, saying, “In the meantime, I would like to unofficially declare today Grateful Dead Appreciation Day.”
