PHOENIX – Today, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, announced his support of Gov. Katie Hobbs for re-election, citing her proven record of bringing people together to deliver results for Arizonans, including cutting taxes for veterans, small businesses, and working families, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, cutting red tape for housing, and bolstering border security.
This announcement underscores Hobbs’ growing momentum as she continues to put Arizona first and bring people together to solve tough problems her predecessors were unwilling to tackle, while her opponent, Andy Biggs, only offers a rubber stamp for Washington’s extreme cost-hiking agenda.
Watch here.
“I’m deeply honored to have the support of President Obama, who has dedicated his life to serving the American people and bringing our country together,” said Gov. Katie Hobbs. “He embodies leadership driven by integrity, unity, and a commitment to putting people first. Those are values I share, and the kind of leadership I’ve sought to deliver as governor, bridging political divides to cut taxes, lower housing costs, and invest in public safety for a stronger, more affordable Arizona.”
This support reflects Katie’s extensive record of delivering for Arizonans. As governor, she has consistently reached across party lines, negotiating and signing four bipartisan, balanced budgets that cut taxes for hard-working families. She has also worked across the aisle to cut red tape and speed up construction for housing, eliminated Arizona’s residential rental tax, and created Task Force SAFE, a border security effort that helped keep 18 million fentanyl pills off the streets.
WATCH “TOGETHER”:
BARACK OBAMA: Arizona, we can all agree that lowering costs should be a priority, and as governor, Katie Hobbs has made it her mission.
OBAMA: Katie knows how to bring people together to get things done. She’s passed bipartisan tax cuts every single year she’s been in office to help veterans, seniors, small businesses, and families make ends meet.
OBAMA: Katie completely eliminated taxes on rent, tips, and overtime, and she worked to reduce utility bills and cut red tape to lower the cost of housing.
OBAMA: Katie’s also taken action to make Arizona safer, toughening border security and getting eighteen million fentanyl pills off the streets.
OBAMA: Katie Hobbs is the best choice to keep Arizona moving forward, so join me in supporting Katie for governor.
