Arizonans Rally Behind Katie Hobbs With Record-Breaking $12 Million Raised for 2026 Election

PHOENIX – Today, Gov. Katie Hobbs announced she has raised a record-breaking $12 million toward the 2026 election – all before officially launching her re-election campaign last week. 

This historic haul includes more than $9.3 million raised for her campaign since winning the 2022 race, and more than $2.7 million raised for Copper State Values PAC in 2025. Hobbs continues to build momentum each quarter of 2025, with nearly $1.5 million raised directly to the campaign in just the third quarter – pushing her 2025 campaign total to over $4 million, the most ever raised for an Arizona gubernatorial race in a non-election year. 

Grassroots support remains the foundation of Hobbs’ fundraising success: nearly 95 percent of contributions are under $100, and almost 60 percent of contributions from this year’s donors are new to the campaign. Arizonans from all 15 counties have joined in to support her Arizona First leadership.

“Arizonans are rallying behind Katie Hobbs because they know she’s focused on delivering results – lowering costs, securing the border, and solving problems,” said Nicole DeMont, Gov. Hobbs’ Campaign Manager. “While her opponents are locked in a contest for desperate approval from Washington, Katie Hobbs is bringing Republicans, Democrats, and Independents together to move Arizona forward.”

These strong fundraising numbers build on Katie Hobbs’ growing momentum, having already secured the backing of Senator Mark Kelly, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Senator Ruben Gallego, Congressman Greg Stanton, Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, the Arizona AFL-CIO, EMILYs List, and having outraised the entire GOP field for the last two consecutive quarters.
