| I have never interfaced with Katie Hobbs, but her actions left me
| |
| pondering her influence over the November 2024 midterm elections. Katie
| |
| Hobbs ran for and was elected governor in 2024. She ran for Arizona
| |
| Governor while she was Arizona Secretary of State. This would appear to
| |
| exclude Governor Hobbs as have any influence over Maricopa County
| |
| governance. However, there is some overlap in the election process
| |
| between her role as the Arizona Secretary of State and Maricopa County’s
| |
| implementation of the elections process. According to the Arizona
| |
| Secretary of State’s website:
| |
| | |
| “The highest profile duty of the office is oversight and
| |
| administration of secure and accurate elections. The Secretary of
| |
| State serves as Chief Election Officer for the State. One of the goals
| |
| of the office is to register more voters and encourage their active
| |
| participation in elections. As part of elections administration, the
| |
| office certifies: voting devices, election results, candidates and
| |
| measures to the ballot, as well as the results of statewide elections.
| |
| | |
| While there may have been no statute or policy to prevent Katie Hobbs
| |
| from managing the election process for her own election, the situation
| |
| suggests an ethical question. You might be surprised to learn how this
| |
| issue isn’t about Katie; it’s about how her behaviors may have
| |
| influenced other government employees.
