Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs joins race for Arizona governor

PHOENIX (KYMA, KECY) - Arizona's Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, is the next person to announce she is running to become the state's next governor.

Hobbs, a Democrat, announced on social media on Wednesday morning.

In the video, Hobbs addresses threats against her and her family during the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County. Her message to the public:

I am running for Governor to deliver transparency, accountability, and results for Arizonans, just like I have done my whole career. Right now, our state government is being run by conspiracy theorists who are more focused on political posturing than getting things done, and that needs to change. As Governor, I will do what I have always done: put aside our differences and work to solve the serious problems facing Arizona.

I’m running for Governor to deliver transparency, accountability, and results for Arizonans -- just like I’ve done my whole career.
