Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs fired the first financial salvo at legislative Republicans Tuesday, promising to raise $500,000 to unseat them in 2024.
That doesn’t count another $1.5 million or so she has left over from businesses that contributed to her inaugural festivities, money that can also be used in her attempt to oust GOP lawmakers.
In a news release, Hobbs, who has been in the office less than two months, accounted for what her campaign aides called an “unprecedented investment so early in the election cycle’’ with the goal of ending the one-vote majority that Republicans have in the House and the Senate.
