Katie Hobbs
Governor
AZ Governor
Katie Hobbs won the 2022 Arizona governorship by fewer than 17,000 votes over Republican Kari Lake, in one of the most scrutinized elections in the country. A former social worker and state legislator, she served as Arizona Secretary of State before winning the governorship — defending multiple election lawsuits filed by Lake and upholding the integrity of Arizona's elections. She governs a divided state with a Republican-controlled legislature, making bipartisan dealmaking essential.
