Converting to a list from a recordset

I have a list of items from various queries. In this example I have 2
states, MI and IN in the database for this user. I am then trying to conver
the output of the query into a list to weight against. Its only getting the
last state entered. Any ideas on why am I not getting all the states set to
'MyStates', only the last one entered? Thanks.

<cfargument name="pcode" type="string" required="yes">
<cfquery name="States" datasource="">
