Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has faced Republican criticism over her campaign spending, with TPUSA Action’s Tyler Bowyer accusing her of “spending like a drunken sailor”. The criticism centres on claims that her re-election campaign is relying heavily on consultants, television advertising and out-of-state funding, and is presented as part of a broader Republican argument about Democratic campaign finances.

The article says Hobbs’ campaign spent nearly three times as much as it raised during the second quarter. Arizona is expected to be a closely contested battleground, making campaign fundraising and spending a significant issue ahead of the governor’s re-election race.
