Katie Hobbs Unveils âMoment of Truthâ TV and Digital Ad
Ad highlights Hobbsâ fight to overcome threats of violence to defend democracy, ability to solve tough challengesÂ
PHOENIX â Secretary of State Katie Hobbsâ gubernatorial campaign announced Tuesday its first television and digital ad of the election, backed by a seven-figure ad buy aimed at reaching millions of voters across the state. With a clear path through the primary, Hobbs is the only candidate on either side with the advantage of focusing on the general election and starting her communication to the broad swath of voters needed to win in November. The ad will run on broadcast and cable television, as well as various digital platforms.
The ad highlights the death threats and threats to her children that Hobbs overcame to do her job as Secretary of State and defend our freedom. She will take that same fight to the governorâs office and tackle Arizonaâs biggest challenges: defending reproductive health care, lowering costs, and fixing our schools.
âAs your Secretary of State, I knew Iâd face attacks,â Hobbs said in the ad. âBut when they came after my family, our state, our freedom â thatâs where I draw the line. Iâm running for governor because we need leaders who will get the job done, even when itâs tough.â
Katie Hobbsâ campaign has reported record-breaking grassroots fundraising, with more than $3.67 million raised as of March 31. And as Hobbs continues to share her vision for Arizona, with her most recently released Resilient Arizona plan, she continues to consolidate a diverse coalition of support across the state. Never having lost a race and the only candidate on either side who has won statewide, Hobbs has proven she has the strength and experience to fight and win â and get to work delivering real solutions to the problems facing Arizonans today.
