Arizona governor Hobbs outlines priorities for tribal nations
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is prioritizing collaboration with the state’s 22 tribal nations as the new legislative year begins. Tribal lands cover 28% of Arizona, and Indigenous people make up 6% of the population. Hobbs, a vocal advocate since her time as Secretary of State, aims to ensure tribes have a seat at the table on key issues like water rights, infrastructure, and voting access.
She pledged to build relationships based on mutual respect and highlighted tribal contributions to state policy.
