ABC 15: Gov. Hobbs’ Border Strategy is “Winning Over” Law Enforcement and Border Communities

Florence Police Chief: “Governor Hobbs, the town of Florence appreciates you listening. But more importantly, responding with resources that keep our first responders safe.” 

ABC 15 in Phoenix highlighted how Governor Katie Hobbs is “winning over” border communities and Arizona law enforcement for her willingness to take action and provide crucial resources to help secure their borders, reporting:

“The Ducey Administration made big splashes along the border from the creation of the Border Strike Force to the short-lived and expensive shipping container border wall, neither seemed to make much of a difference. Border communities and law enforcement seem to prefer the Hobbs method of targeted responses based on the help they want the state to provide.”

ABC 15 also reported that Florence Police Chief Bruce Wallace said:“Governor Hobbs, the town of Florence appreciates you listening. But more importantly, responding with resources that keep our first responders safe.” 

Just last week, after she secured a major bipartisan win to help secure Arizona’s economic future, a column from the Arizona Republic touted Gov. Hobbs for her “gutsy ability to govern.” Earlier this year, Gov. Hobbs worked with both parties to pass a budget that “helps move Arizona forward, especially in the crucial areas of public education, housing and aid for homeless people.”
