The Tuscon Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Arizona Leadership Council hosted the Governor’s State Report where Governor Katie Hobbs broke down key issues for Arizonans. With many elected officials in attendance, like Mayor Regina Romero and Representative Raul Grijalva, Hobbs began the speech by talking about the border.
“Where we are taking action on the border where the federal government has so clearly failed,” she said.
She said that no single entity can face the crisis at the border and she emphasized working together as a community. Hobbs promised more investments in border security and she launched Operation Secure, a border coordination office within the Department of Homeland Security.
“Whether you’re an NGO, law enforcement or small business, you are constantly working every day to support this community when the federal government has failed to do so,” she said. “I have been able to see your efforts first hand as I’ve visited Tucson early on in my administration.”
