Katie Hobbs

Hobbs interests me because her path runs from social work straight to the governorship of Arizona. Someone who trained in social work, holding degrees from Northern Arizona University and Arizona State, has spent real time understanding people at the margins, and I find that grounding valuable in a politician. Climbing from the state legislature to Secretary of State and then to the 24th governorship in 2023 is a steady, earned ascent rather than a meteoric one. I tend to trust leaders who came up through frontline service, and her trajectory carries exactly that kind of practical, lived credibility.
