Before giving a politician four years in office, voters deserve answers to a few basic questions: Where do you stand? What do you plan to do? And how will it make their lives better?
Katie Hobbs has already had four as Governor and now wants four more. Apparently, explaining what she intends to do with them is asking too much.
Hobbs is the only major statewide nominee who refused to take the debate stage this election cycle, but her reluctance to lay out a second-term agenda does not end there. Voters looking for one on her campaign website will come up empty, too. Even her 2022 website featured a section outlining her plans for Arizona. This time, visitors get “Meet Katie,” a biography touting her supposed “accomplishments,” with plenty about why she thinks she deserves another term, and very little about what she intends to do with it.
Andy Biggs has taken the opposite approach, making his policy positions, priorities, and agenda easy to find and easy to read. On taxes, housing, water, energy, and school choice, voters can examine what he proposes and decide for themselves.
But Hobbs’ refusal to lay out a second-term agenda does not mean voters have to guess what another four years would look like. She has a record, and Arizonans have been living with the consequences…
