About the Secretary

Katie Hobbs

Photo of Katie Hobbs

Secretary Katie Hobbs has led a life of service. Beginning as a volunteer at her church and continuing with her job as a social worker and chief compliance officer at one of the largest domestic violence centers in the U.S., the focus of her life has been to help others to gain security, to be heard, and to create better lives.

That fundamental motivation inspired her to run for Secretary of State, after serving in the Arizona House of Representatives and Arizona Senate as minority leader. Now, she brings her years of experience to the Office of the Secretary of State to ensure that it runs productively, and that Arizona elections are secure, fair and efficient.

Secretary Hobbs has a Bachelor of Social Work from Northern Arizona University and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University. She has been a professional social worker since 1992. Prior to being elected to the legislature, she worked in the areas of domestic violence, behavioral health, and homelessness.

She has been honored with dozens of awards for her service. Most recently, she was named the League of Cities and Towns Legislative Champion for two consecutive years (2017 and 2018).

Secretary Hobbs and her husband Pat Goodman live in Phoenix and have two kids, one dog and four cats.

La Secretaria Katie Hobbs ha llevado una vida de servicio. Comenzando como voluntaria en su iglesia y continuando con su trabajo como trabajadora social y directora de cumplimento en uno de los centros de violencia doméstica más grandes en los Estados Unidos, el enfoque de su vida ha sido ayudar a otros a ganar seguridad, para ser escuchados, y para crear mejores vidas.

Esa motivación fundamental la inspiro a postularse para Secretaria de Estado, después de servir en la Cámara de Representantes de Arizona y el Senado de Arizona como líder de la minoría. Ahora, lleva sus años de experiencia a la Oficina de la Secretaria de Estado para asegurar que se desarrolle productivamente, y que las elecciones de Arizona sean seguras, justas y eficientes.
