In a tweet announcing her bid, Hobbs wrote: "I'm running for Governor to deliver transparency, accountability, and results for Arizonans -- just like I've done my whole career." Hobbs was was chosen to head the secretary of state's office in 2018, and became the first Democrat to hold the position since 1995. Hobbs is known for her resiliency as she defended the electoral system in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. She detailed the problems with a ballot recount in a six-page letter to Ken Bennett, the US Senate's audit liaison, detailing the problems with the existing audit. Hobbs suggested replacing the voting machines and vote tabulators and wrote: 'We cannot be certain who accessed the voting equipment and what might have been done to them." Since her outspoken defense of the voting system, Hobbs has received death threats, and in one instance, two armed protestors showed up at her door. 'When you're under attack, some would have you believe you have two choices: fight or give in. But there is a third option: get the job done,' Hobbs said in her video announcement. 'I'm here to solve problems.' Republicans passed a bill to strip Hobbs of her ability to move forward in defense of election lawsuits and reallocated that power to the Republican attorney general. The bill would be set to expire when Hobbs' term ends in January 2023, and Hobbs called it "an attack on voters."
