Senate and House Delay Probe into Katie Hobbs Campaign Funds
What happened
Senate Republican David Farnsworth announced that the public investigation into Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs regarding pay-to-play allegations will be delayed until after the November 3 election. The House is conducting a parallel probe examining whether Sunshine Residential's large donations to Hobbs' inaugural fund and the Arizona Democratic Committee correlate with the Department of Child Safety sharply increasing payments to the company. Andrew Gould will lead the Senate investigation.
