New Ads Highlight Why Katie Hobbs Is the Best Choice for Arizona

The ads, set to air in Spanish and English across the state, underscore why Kari Lake is too dangerous for Arizona

PHOENIX – This week, the Katie Hobbs campaign and the Arizona Democratic Party released two new television ads contrasting Katie Hobbs’ real solutions to build a better Arizona economy with Kari Lake’s dangerous and out-of-touch agenda.

The Spanish-language ad, “Focus,” blasts Kari Lake’s support of allowing anyone to own rocket launchers and her unhinged plans to put cameras in classrooms to spy on our children, exposing them to online predators. The ad underscores that Lake is a danger to our communities while also highlighting Hobbs’ plan to lower costs by cutting taxes for working families.

“Tested” speaks to the overwhelming challenges Arizonans are facing today, and how Katie Hobbs is the only candidate who will tackle these issues head on — because she’s actually lived them. This ad draws on Hobbs’ personal experience working two jobs to make ends meet to spotlight key parts of her Affordable Arizona plan, such as providing tax cuts for working families and eliminating the sales tax on necessities like medicine.
