Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is once again under scrutiny for ‘donations’ to a dark money group for her inaugural events last year after reports have surfaced that a six-figure contribution from a state contractor resulted in the allocation of millions in state funds.
Katie Hobbs’ ethics came under scrutiny from GOP state legislators after it was reported that she charged donors up to $250,000 through a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group for her inaugural events.
The nonprofit she used was headquartered at the same address as Coppersmith Brockelman PLC, the Democratic law firm that represented Katie Hobbs in Kari Lake’s lawsuit to overturn the rigged 2022 midterm election.
Among the donors to Katie Hobbs’ inauguration were Sunshine Residential Homes and its affiliates, which collectively donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. Following these contributions, they were granted a rate increase for their youth group home services that had previously been denied.
Even the left-leaning Arizona Republic is questioning Katie Hobbs’ actions and suggesting that an investigation is warranted.
