WATCH: Gov. Katie Hobbs: "This election is not just important for Arizona, it's important for the country"

"I was up against an election denier in 2022. I beat her then and I'm confident I'll do it again this time around."

Yesterday, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs joined MS NOW's Deadline: White House to discuss how, amidst Donald Trump's continued attacks on Arizona elections, she remains committed to protecting free and fair elections in Arizona - making the Arizona gubernatorial election "not just important for Arizona, [but] important for the country."

Governor Hobbs discussed how her likely opponent, Congressman Andy Biggs, is "one of Donald Trump's chief election deniers." Despite his and Donald Trump's threats to Arizona families', Governor Hobbs remains laser-focused on protecting the people of Arizona and delivering on the kitchen-table issues that matter most to them.

Check out more from Governor Hobbs' interview here:

Governor Hobbs: "With all of the issues that are facing Americans, people wanting the president to focus on the economy, and instead, we're focusing on this election that happened five and a half years ago… I'm in a race for reelection right now, and my very likely opponent [Congressman Andy Biggs] is not just an election denier, but one of Donald Trump's chief election deniers… He helped organize January 6, he sought a pardon for his role in that, he has defied congressional subpoenas, and he said that on Day One he will get to work overhauling our election system…

"This election is not just important for Arizona, it's important for the country, and I'm going to continue to stand up for democracy.

"I was up against an election denier in 2022. I beat her then and I'm confident I'll do it again this time around."
