Katie Hobbs. The Trump-endorsed candidate will likely center her campaign around curtailing illegal immigration and growing the economy, according to materials shared with the DCNF. > “I thank President Trump for his strong endorsement and look forward to working with him to secure our border and make Arizona safe again,” Robson said in a statement shared with the DCNF. “Katie Hobbs has made it harder to live, work, and raise a family safely in this state. Like President Trump, I know how to create jobs. And like President Trump, I will not rest until our border is secure and Arizona families are safe.”
