YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.) is holding two campaign events in Yuma Monday.
According to a press release, the visit to Yuma is part of her Arizona First Tour, which kicked off over the weekend, with stops in cities like Tucson and Phoenix.
During the tour, Gov. Hobbs met with voters across Southern Arizona to highlight her first four years as governor of Arizona as well as share her plans if she’s re-elected.
The press release says Hobbs is participating in a roundtable discussion, taking place at Cafecito at 11:30 a.m., to highlight how the trade war is raising costs on everyday essentials, and how it’s hurting small businesses in the state.
Hobbs is joined by Charlene Fernandez, the chair of the Arizona Democratic Party, and farmers, the press release said.
Following this, Hobbs will be visiting Amberly’s Place later in the afternoon during her visit to Yuma.
Hobbs announced her run for re-election last month. There are also three Republicans running for governor, and they are Rep. David Schweikert, Rep. Andy Biggs and housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson.
