Katie Hobbs

Every voter should be concerned that those who are seeking the positions of oversight of our democratic and electoral systems are the very same people undermining them.

I ran for secretary of state to make sure that the Arizonans could engage in electoral process and make their voices heard, because our government is not reflective of our state. And the majority of Arizonans support women`s access to…

I’m calling on the governor and Republican legislature to repeal this law, so that there is not a complete and total abortion ban in our state once Roe is overturned.

I welcome folks to join me in that fight at katiehobbs.org.

What we're seeing now is an attempt to install Trump loyalists at every level so that those checks and balances that exist will be removed.

I'm glad that action is finally being taken. We've been calling out the actions of State Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and Mark Finchem who actually is running for Secretary of State in Arizona, not New Mexico, for the last year plus.

Every senator who voted against advancing voting rights in the Senate should be held accountable for that, including our senator.

We are at a defining moment in our democracy right now, and nobody who didn`t support this legislation should get a pass.

It is incredibly important. As my colleague, Jocelyn Benson in Michigan has said many times that democracy prevailed in 2020 because people of integrity in both parties did their jobs. They upheld the integrity of the election and the will…

Well, it really is a solution in search of a problem.

It's important that we keep the election integrity at the forefront of voters' minds in terms of what we have to protect in the 2022 election.

I, unfortunately don't see an end to the big lie as long as it's continuing to work for these Republicans.

What's clear is that democracy is on the ballot up and down the ballot in 2022.

Mark Finchem, who you just talked about, has flat out said if he was Secretary of State, Trump would still be president with absolutely no evidence that there's any case to back that up.

What I can tell you in Arizona, is that we write the election procedures manual, which requires approval by the Governor and Attorney General.

Democracy prevailed on January 6 because people of both parties did their jobs to ensure that the will of the voters was upheld.

What kind of constitutional crisis would we be in if there’s enough of these folks that are actively working to overturn the will of the government?

I am going to keep doing the job I was elected to do. I am not backing down. We executed a stellar election in 2020 in the face of unprecedented challenges.

I am running for governor because we have to stand up to this ongoing threat to our democracy.

Two weeks after the election, armed protesters gathered outside my home and chanted, Katie, come out and play. We`re watching you.

This is one of the biggest threats to our democracy and to election administration as we look to the future is that we are losing really good election officials.

What you saw play out in Arizona with this sham audit is exactly designed to justify tampering with future elections, to justify making it harder for people to vote.

I was elected by the voters of Arizona to do a job. I took an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of Arizona and I have done that and I’m going to continue to do the job that the voters of…

As the lawsuits mounted, so did the threats against me and other election officials. Orange jump suits were mailed to county supervisors. They were protesters outside of my house. I had to have 24-hour security.

Absolutely. As I shared in my testimony, there were armed protesters outside of my house.
