Hobbs vetoes bad bills. Since she was elected, Governor Hobbs has been the last bastion in defeating Republican-led legislation that harms working-class Arizonans. Most recently, she vetoed 8 incredibly harmful bills this legislative session:

• SB1051 would have forced hospitals to work with ICE and HSI to turn over patients seeking emergency care based on their citizenship status.
• SB1002, SB1331, SB1334, HB2206, and HB2396 would have significantly increased restrictions on SNAP eligibility and food recipients could buy.
• SB1036 would have made unemployment harder for workers to receive, putting unnecessary strain on those in need of support; this bill has been vetoed by Gov. Hobbs in previous years as well.
• HB2796 would have duplicated the extremely rigid Medicaid eligibility requirements recently set by the Trump administration; versions of this bill have also been vetoed by Gov. Hobbs in previous years.

With more harmful legislation to rapidly reach Governor Hobbs’ desk as it continues to advance in the Republican-controlled legislature, it is a perfect time to let Gov. Hobbs know that we expect her to continue to work in the interests of Arizona’s working families.
