AZ: Governor Katie Hobbs Launches Political Operation to Turn the Legislature Blue
Citing a riveting piece by AZ Mirrors Jim Small that outlined all the extremist legislative proposals Arizona Republican Legislators are processing at the State Capitol this session (and getting subsequently vetoed on the Ninth Floor,) Governor Katie Hobbs has launched a new political operation, with an initial $500,000 investment designed to turn the State Legislature blue in 2024.
In a social media post following the announcement, the Governor relayed:
Today Im committing $500k to flipping the Arizona House and Senate in 24 to secure a governing majority and deliver results like lowering costs, addressing our water crisis, and fully funding education.
The current GOP legislative majority can play their political games AZ Democrats are ready to get to work moving our state forward.
In a press release, Nichole DeMont, Governor Hobbs chief political strategist, offered:
In the last election, Arizonans sent a clear message that they want the governor and the legislature to work together on solving our states toughest challenges like lowering costs, addressing our water crisis, and fully funding education. But Republicans in the legislature have already shown they have no interest in bipartisan cooperation and arent serious about solving problems. We intend to hold these extremist legislators accountable for being uncompromising obstructionists, and were confident their constituents will agree.
