Arizona's 24th governor, Katie Hobbs, took office alongside a slate of officeholders who could significantly shift the policy priorities of the state.
alongside a slate of officeholders who could significantly shift the policy priorities of the state in the next four years.
The feed conveyed the emotion of the day that capped hard-fought campaigns and legal challenges after the victories: Hobbs' oath was briefly interrupted seven words in as her mother, who held the family Bible, appeared to cry. The formal transfer of power marks the first time in nearly 50 years that the top three posts in state government have been occupied by Democrats. It is the first time since 2006 that Arizonans have elected a Democrat to the Governor's Office, and that alone will bring a shift from Ducey's eight years of conservative leadership on fiscal and social issues.
Hobbs has pledged to protect abortion rights, bring equity and accountability to state government, fund public education, and back programs like a child tax credit that could make life more affordable for low- and moderate-income Arizonans. Arizona voters in November rebuffed the Trump-endorsed Republican candidates who ran against Hobbs, Fontes and Mayes, though several legal challenges from losing candidates and a recount in Mayes' race extended the election drama for several weeks through December.
