Arizona Secretary of State and Gubernatorial Candidate Katie Hobbs
“Today, I join Arizonans in honoring the diverse knowledge, cultures, and traditions of Indigenous communities. For generations, Indigenous peoples have shown us the true meaning of resilience and strength, and I am so grateful for their countless contributions to Arizona and our country.
As we work towards creating a better Arizona, we must always prioritize and advocate for Indigenous rights and representation in all decision-making. I pledge to work with all of the 22 tribal communities across Arizona to build economic opportunity, a fair justice system, and a more accountable state government.
It’s past time we fulfill our promises of providing Indigenous communities with the support they deserve. Together, we can put our state on a greater path to guaranteeing prosperity, opportunity, and equality for all.”

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. As much as this day is about celebrating all of the rich contributions, it’s also about acknowledging the harm and challenges faced historically and in the present by Indigenous Peoples. #IndigenousPeoplesDay pic.twitter.com/RqRI3hGXgY
