It is the greatest honor of my life to serve the state I love.

for official updates as we work together to steer Arizona toward a future that works for all of us.
Thank you, Arizona. As governor, I'll work toward finding common ground and embracing the challenges that stand before us as opportunities to create real progress.
Time to get to work.
Tomorrow morning I will be sworn in as the 24th Governor of Arizona, and our state had a shining message this evening.
2023 is off to a beautiful start.
My office has been putting out information for months about how election processes work in the state & all we do to ensure security & fairness. If you haven’t been paying attention, that’s on you, but don’t show up when you don’t like the result & scream fraud w/no evidence.
Despite what my election-denying opponent is trying to spin, the pattern and cadence of incoming votes are exactly what we expected.
In fact, they mirror what our state has seen in recent elections.
We must remain patient and let our election officials do their jobs.
👋 Hi, I'm Katie Hobbs.
I'm Arizona's Secretary of State and I'm running for governor against the most extreme GOP candidate in the country.
Every poll shows this race NECK and NECK.
Can you retweet this and help me reach 130,000 followers?
So proud of my friend
@CaptMarkKelly
for his successful reelection and a huge congratulations to SoS-elect
@Adrian_Fontes
. Looking forward to handing you the keys!
Arizona — from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
This was a tough fight, and I’m humbled to be your next governor.
I can’t wait to serve our great state, restore our reproductive rights, protect our democracy, and work every day to deliver solutions for all Arizonans.
As we await outstanding ballots, I remain confident in the will of AZ voters and am grateful to the election officials diligently working to ensure every vote is properly counted.
To everyone closely watching our race, thanks for your patience. We look forward to the days ahead.
When I had a miscarriage, I needed surgery to protect my own health. That lifesaving treatment was the same procedure that’s commonly used for abortions — a procedure that Kari Lake wants to criminalize. As Governor, I won't let that happen.
Kari Lake has made the 2020 election the sole focus of her campaign. Like most Arizonans, I’m ready to move on and tackle the challenges we’re facing. Arizonans need a governor who is more focused on fighting for them than spreading conspiracy theories.
No matter how many times Donald Trump and Kari Lake deny the truth (including at today’s rally), it won’t change the fact the 2020 election was the most secure in AZ history. Arizona will always be a model for free, fair elections — it will not be a breeding ground for more lies.
Thank you
@POTUS
for a great visit in Phoenix today! I couldn’t agree more about taking office just in time – I look forward to working together to make Arizona a national hub for tech manufacturing and to bring more good paying jobs to our state.
In 2020, we stood firm to protect our democracy
In 2021, we stood firm against the sham audits
In 2022, we will stand firm again until every ballot has been counted
So hang tight Arizona — and let's let our local election officials do their jobs, without fear or interference
I'm outraged and terrified that women’s reproductive rights are hanging by a thread here in Arizona. If Kari Lake has it her way, Arizonans will have fewer rights than I did 50 years ago. I will not let this happen and will never stop fighting for our right to choose.
Today I’m committing $500k to flipping the Arizona House and Senate in ‘24 to secure a governing majority and deliver results like lowering costs, addressing our water crisis, and fully funding education.
The current GOP legislative majority can play their political games – AZ
Let me be clear: as a champion for voting rights, I am calling on Congress to scrap the filibuster and pass the For The People Act immediately. Nobody should play political games when our right to the ballot is at stake.
Today I congratulated Governor-elect Katie Hobbs on her victory in a hard-fought race and offered my full cooperation as she prepares to assume the leadership of the State of Arizona.
A statement from our campaign manager on Kari Lake’s latest desperate attempt to undermine our democracy and throw out the will of the voters.
Baseless lawsuits don’t vote. Arizonans do.
Governor-elect
@KatieHobbs
played a starring role in today’s House Democratic Caucus retreat. Our 29 members look forward to working closely with a Democratic Governor to move Arizona forward with inclusive solutions. Session begins Jan. 9, but the work begins now.
#AZLeg
In this election, we chose solving our problems over conspiracy theories.
We chose sanity over chaos. We chose unity over division.
We chose democracy. We chose a better future.
We chose an Arizona for everyone
#AZforEveryone
Arizona is divided. But the path forward is clear — we need to work together, across parties, to mend fences and heal our divisions. It’s time to leave the past behind and look forward into the future.
As your governor, I’m going to do just that.
I am heartbroken by the news out of Colorado Springs. The families and the friends of all affected are in my family’s prayers.
Any assault against the LGBTQ community is an assault on all of us.
On this
#TransDayOfRemembrance
, Arizona stands united in the face of this bigotry.
The voters made it clear that they want their leaders to work together to solve problems.
Arizonans have entrusted me to do that and I’m ready to get to work as Arizona’s next Governor.
Today marks a new chapter for Arizona.
Tune in at 10am as I and the other statewide elected officials take our oaths of office on the Ninth Floor of the Capitol Executive Tower.
I'm traveling to every corner of this state to learn from our communities what issues matter most to them because Arizonans deserve a governor who listens. I'm ready to be a reproductive & voting rights champion - will you RT to help me reach 100k followers and spread the word?
Not only has Kari Lake called to decertify the 2020 election results, but she’s refused to say whether she would certify the 2024 results if she’s governor.
She’s made it clear that she will not respect the will of the voters.
Arizona deserves better.
This campaign was about so much more than just winning an election — it was about the kind of future we want for our great state.
And together, we voted for sanity, for unity, for trusted leadership, for our rights, and for our democracy.
Thank you, Arizona.
Kari Lake called to dismantle the nation’s top law enforcement agency. She called for Arizona to secede from the union and usher in another Civil War. She called for the legalization of rocket launchers.
She is dangerous, extreme, and out of touch with Arizonans.
Kari Lake doubled down on her support for the draconian 1901 total abortion ban, showing exactly what kind of future she envisions for Arizona. One where an entire generation of Arizonans doesn't control their own health care. We deserve better.
As governor, Kari Lake could thrust Arizona into a constitutional crisis — or even a Civil War.
We need to do everything in our power to stop that from happening (and stop
@TrevorNoah
from needing to grow out mutton chops).
The little girl that grew up in Tempe never could’ve imagined that one day she’d run for governor.
I’m going to keep making her proud. And, I am going to win for the next generation of leaders.
I’m pleased to announce my full administration transition team made up of public service, business, labor, & advocacy leaders from both sides of the aisle.
I look forward to working with these outstanding local leaders as we build an administration that works for all Arizonans.
Kari Lake is more focused on rehashing the 2020 election than addressing the real challenges Arizonans are facing. I’m focused on making housing more affordable, improving our schools, addressing the water crisis, & delivering real solutions. My focus = get the job done.
Kari Lake is 100% against women’s reproductive rights.
She wants to outlaw abortion, send doctors to prison, and force pregnancies for victims of rape and incest.
We have to stop her.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked alongside Allie Bones on everything from ensuring secure elections to providing support for local businesses – and I’m thrilled to announce that Allie will serve as my Chief of Staff.
Together, I’m confident we will get the job done for Arizona
The 1864 abortion ban was passed by 27 men, before women even had the right to vote.
Now, almost 160 years later, I’m going to sign the bill that will repeal it.
Arizonans are fed up with Kari Lake's conspiracies. They're tired of extremism and want a governor who works for all Arizonans, no matter their political party.
Together with the support of Republicans for Katie Hobbs, we're going to defeat chaos and win this thing.
I believe in this state. I believe that we will win, and that we will work towards a better Arizona — an Arizona where no one gets left behind or goes without a voice.
Arizona deserves better than a dangerous, divisive conspiracy theorist like Kari Lake.
Arizona deserves a proven leader with a track record of success.
If Kari Lake doesn’t get her way, she plans to undermine the will of voters. She has already refused to say if she’ll certify the 2024 election if she’s governor.
She won’t provide solutions. She’ll just cause chaos.
I just finished testifying in the Senate on threats to our democracy – I’m proud to bring Arizonan’s fight for truth to Congress.
I know the conspiracy theorists will attack me.
But I won’t be intimidated. I’ll always do what’s right to protect our democracy.
WATCH:
@KariLake
says women “aren’t equal to men” and “we don't want to be equal to them.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
This is just the first in our series of new digital ads highlighting Kari Lake’s seriously dangerous positions. Help us defeat her in November.
Kari Lake called abortion the “ultimate sin.” She called women who receive abortions “murderers” and “executioners.”
Those are her exact words.
She’s one of the most extreme Republican candidates in the country. And we have to defeat her.
This race has never been about me. My name may be on the ballot — but it’s our reproductive rights that are on the line.
And together, we're going to restore abortion access.
Reproductive rights are on the ballot. Affordable housing is on the ballot. The future of our planet is on the ballot. As your governor, I will take these challenges head on, because Arizonans deserve a governor who will fight for them.
I’ve worked a lot of jobs in my life. My very first job at this Burger King in Tempe. A waitress at Pizza Hut in Flagstaff. A social worker. A mom. An Uber driver. A state legislator. Secretary of State.
Now, I’m running to be your governor. And I’m ready to get to work.
We won!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. I am honored and proud to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of Arizona.
This fight is far from over. We CAN and we WILL win in November, but I can’t do this without you.
While Republicans in Congress proposed a national abortion ban today, my opponent Kari Lake has spent months saying she'd criminalize abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
This November, we have the opportunity to send them a message: keep your bans off my body.
When I’m governor, Arizona will continue to be a model for free, fair elections — not the breeding ground for lies and conspiracy theories that Kari Lake envisions it to be.
I was propelled to run for governor because in 2020 I saw our state be ground zero for election denialism. I couldn’t sit by as conspiracy theorists tried to take over our state, so I stepped up to meet the moment and defend our democracy.
Banning abortion doesn’t stop abortion. Bans make necessary reproductive health care less safe. I will always fight for Arizona women and their right to safe and legal care.
