Katie Hobbs on Principles & Values

	Katie Hobbs on Principles & Values

Freedom is in the DNA of Arizona

Freedom--in all its shapes and sizes--is in the DNA of Arizona. Generation after generation, we have protected our citizens from federal overreach, from misguided politicians, from economic hardship, from terrorism and cyber threats, from drought and other natural disasters. We have braved tumultuous days and emerged stronger--a national and international leader in biosciences, advanced chip manufacturing, aerospace, and other future-defining industries.

Let's work together, not chase conspiracy theories

If you're ready to make real progress on the issues that matter most to the people of this state, then my door will always be open. However, chasing conspiracy theories, pushing agendas for special interests, attacking the rights of your fellow Arizonans or seeking to further undermine our democracy will lead nowhere. Instead, I would like to extend an invitation. Let's work together to make a significant impact in the lives of the families and communities of this state.

Never seen nation so divided; seen it up close in Arizona

I've never seen our nation so divided, and I've seen it up close here in Arizona. It's time to roll up our sleeves and start healing--physically healing from the COVID crisis, healing our economy from a year of shutdown, and bringing our state back together after the incendiary and divisive politics of the last few years. I'm ready. I hope you'll join me. Source: 2022 Arizona Gubernatorial campaign website KatieHobbs.org , Dec 20, 2021
