The former TV anchor has not run for office before. She left her job as a TV news anchor and three months later announced she was running for governor
Arizona's Republican voters have chosen Kari Lake, the former Fox 10 news anchor turned anti-media firebrand, as their nominee for governor.
A native of Iowa, she is the youngest of nine children and daughter of a public school teacher. She studied journalism at the University of Iowa before moving to Arizona and starting at 12 News as a weekend anchor in her late 20s. Lake worked briefly in Albany, New York, before joining Fox 10's news team, where she built her career and familiarity among Arizonans. While there, she interviewed then-presidents Barack Obama and Trump, pinnacle interviews for any journalist.
A former social worker and advocate for domestic violence victims, Hobbs served eight years in the Arizona Legislature before she was elected secretary of state. Her job duties include overseeing elections and business registrations, as well as running the state library, which catalogues the official history of the Grand Canyon State.
She has pledged to clean voter registration rolls, stop ballot harvesting and has gone to court to argue for ending the use of electronic voting machines and limit voting to in-person on Election Day, instead of using mail-in ballots. She wants to ban critical race theory, which for some has become an umbrella term for curriculum that teaches about systemic racism, boost teacher pay by offering performance bonuses, and implement the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum, which was deemed as conservatives' response to teachings like The 1619 Project, which examined American history through the lens of slavery.
