This race has already begun

Our mid-quarter fundraising deadline is tonight.   Hi John, it's Katie. I know you probably didn't wake up today thinking you'd make a donation to my campaign. But if you'll give me just a moment, I want to explain why it would mean so much if you pitched in today: Election Day mi…

I’m not a self-funding billionaire

I’m proud that this campaign is fueled by grassroots support.   John, it’s Katie. I’m sure you’re having a busy day, so I’ll keep this quick. We’re up against a key mid-quarter fundraising deadline tomorrow, and I’m counting on grassroots support to keep up with millions flowing i…

If there’s one thing we know about Andy Biggs…

We can’t take any chances with someone like Andy Biggs winning this race.   John,  If there’s one thing we know about Andy Biggs, it’s that he’s always focused on the wrong priorities — like defunding NPR. That’s right: Instead of saying or doing anything to help hardworking Arizo…

Roger Stone just called for me to be charged with treason and executed.

I called out Trump for his blatant corruption… In response, they sent Roger Stone after me.   Trump’s longtime political advisor, Roger Stone, just called for me to be charged with treason and executed.  You heard me right.  I called out Trump for his blatant corruption — making m…

What’s on your mind, John?

Can you take our new Priorities Survey?   Hi John,  The past few weeks of this race have been a whirlwind — Trump endorsed both of my opponents, Karrin Taylor Robson is spending millions on TV ads, and the political world is laser-focused on our campaign. But despite all the noise…

Sabato’s Crystal Ball

  FIRST: The Cook Political Report rated the 2026 Arizona Governor’s race a pure toss-up. THEN: Last week, Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball agreed — calling Katie the ONLY incumbent Governor in the country whose race is a toss-up. NOW: We need this grassroots team to step up. With a so…

I know which one I choose

I’m fighting for an Arizona that works for all of us, not just Donald Trump.   John, Arizonans are faced with two visions for our state’s future right now. My vision? An Arizona that works for everyone. An Arizona where everyone has the right to vote. An Arizona where everyone can…

They’re trying to stop our grassroots momentum

Tonight

  Hey John, it's Katie. Before you log off for the evening, I wanted to reach out one last time to ask for your support before tonight’s end-of-month fundraising deadline.  We’re just $2,884 behind on our April fundraising goal — and we can’t afford to come up short.  Yesterday, K…

Katie is in this, no matter the odds

  John, the Cook Political Report has already called the 2026 Arizona Governor’s race a “toss-up.” So what exactly does that mean for Katie? Katie already has two opponents on the other side of the aisle who are running to unseat her — and Donald Trump has endorsed BOTH of them. …

KTR is serious about winning Arizona. We need to be serious about stopping her.

  Breaking news, John: Karrin Taylor Robson — one of Katie’s Trump-endorsed, GOP opponents — just launched a brand new, multi-million dollar ad buy to blanket the airwaves across Arizona. Katie Hobbs needs our help to fight back. Will you rush in a donation of any amount right now…

Anything at all?

  Hi John, Is there anything we can say to convince you to chip in before Wednesday's end-of-month deadline? What if we mentioned that Trump just endorsed BOTH of Katie’s GOP opponents?  Or what if we said that Katie won this race in 2022 by less than one percentage point? How …

We’ll make it simple.

Trump is trying to stop our grassroots movement. He won’t succeed.

BREAKING: Trump endorses BOTH of Katie’s GOP opponents
