Sadly, partisan politics stand in the way of a bipartisan citizen issue.  


The proposed bill is for the citizen and does not favor one political party over the other. However, the Governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, must be removed from her position as Governor to move this bill realistically forward. Why?
==== Change the State Auditor General Statute to be members of the County Ombudsman Selection Committee ====


* News articles have taken note of the large number of bills vetoed by Katie Hobbs. Depending on the news slant, the large number of vetos is not disputed; it's the justification for the veto that is disputed. The bill is unlikely to get Governor Hobbs approval with her past veto record.
* [[Add State Role in County Ombudsman Selection#41-1279.03. Powers and duties|41-1279.03. Powers and duties]]
* As the Arizona Secretary of State during the 2020 election, Katie Hobbs spent more effort attacking the investigators and defending Maricopa County in her [https://apps.azsos.gov/election/2020/2020_ballot_review_report_ver20210819-03_full.pdf Report on the Partisan Review of the 2020 General Election in Maricopa County]. The bill is even more unlikely to get Governor Hobbs approval with this bias.
