Investigation into Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Over Alleged Pay-for-Play Scheme
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is under criminal investigation for allegedly engaging in a pay-for-play scheme involving a state contractor. The investigation, highlighted by U.S. Representative Andy Biggs during his campaign, centers on a 30% rate hike granted to Sunshine Residential, a group home operator, which had donated significant sums to Hobbs' inaugural fund and the Arizona Democratic Party. Attorney General Kris Mayes is leading the investigation and has requested an interview with Hobbs. The governor has denied any involvement in the rate increase decision, emphasizing her office's non-involvement.
