Democratic Lt. Governors Association (DLGA) Executive Director Kevin Holst released the following statement on Gov. Katie Hobbs’ selection of former Mesa Mayor John Giles as her candidate for Lt. Governor of Arizona:
“John Giles has spent his career bringing people together and delivering real results for Arizona. During his ten years as mayor of Mesa, he revitalized downtown, strengthened public education, and brought new businesses and good-paying jobs to the city. John understands that leadership means finding common ground, solving problems, and putting the people you serve ahead of partisan politics.
“John will be a strong partner to Governor Katie Hobbs as they work together to lower costs, protect our freedoms, strengthen public safety, and keep Arizona moving forward. At a time when Andy Biggs and Sine Kerr are offering more Washington-style partisan politics and division, Katie Hobbs and John Giles are focused on bringing people together and delivering results. The DLGA is proud to back John Giles as he and Governor Hobbs put Arizona first and make the case to voters across the state this fall.”
