Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey stood firm in his faith in the election process even as other Republicans continue to challenge or cast doubt on the results.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and his Democratic successor, Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs, met Wednesday for the first time since Hobbs won the office, with Ducey pledging cooperation during crunch time for Hobbs to assemble her team.
“All of us have waited patiently for the democratic process to play out," Ducey said in a Wednesday statement."The people of Arizona have spoken, their votes have been counted, and we respect their decision." Because New Year's Day falls on Sunday next year, the holiday is observed Monday. As a result, the incoming administration is planning an invite-only inauguration address later in the week, Bones said in a call with reporters.
On Jan. 9, a week after being sworn in, Hobbs will deliver her first State of the State address to the 90 members of the Legislature and deliver her budget proposal Jan. 13. Both speeches will set the tone for Hobbs' agenda for her first year in office, offering road maps of her priorities. Before the opening chapter of her four-year term, Hobbs will assemble her executive team and evaluate individuals to head Arizona's about three dozen state agencies. If tradition holds, that could mean vast turnover among current department leaders.
