Governor
State of Arizona
Born and raised in Arizona, Governor Hobbs has spent her life exemplifying hard work and public service. She is a graduate of both NAU and ASU and has used her Masters of Social Work to help unhoused youth in Phoenix and run one of the largest domestic violence shelters in the country.
With over a decade of public service, Governor Hobbs spent 8 years in the Arizona Legislature, including two terms as Senate Minority Leader. She later became Arizona’s Secretary of State where she forcefully defended the votes and voices of every single Arizonan. Seeing her home state at a critical moment in history, she made the decision to run for Governor, and in 2022 was elected the fifth woman, and also fifth Arizona native, to lead the state.
Governor Hobbs sees her role in government as an extension of her social work. In her first term, she has already moved the needle forward on some of our state’s most critical issues, including housing, water security, and economic development. Governor Hobbs approaches every situation and every challenge with a desire to make people’s lives better and give every Arizonan an opportunity to thrive.
