Hobbs Picks GOP Mayor for Lt Gov | Lubbock News

Governor Katie Hobbs is betting big on unity by selecting former GOP mayor John Giles — now an independent — as her running mate in Arizona’s first-ever lieutenant governor race. With Republicans gaining ground and her opponent Andy Biggs countering with a farmer-turned-legislator, Hobbs aims to bridge the divide. Giles, once a vocal Trump critic and Harris backer who signed LGBTQ+ equality proclamations in Mesa, brings moderate appeal — even if it stirs debate among Democrats. This bold, bipartisan move underscores Hobbs’ nonpartisan governing style and could reshape Arizona’s political landscape.
