Katie's ad won't be taken seriously because nobody, including her, believes that she will protect our border." Context: Hobbs has emphasized that immigration and border security are federal issues but says there are things the governor of Arizona can do, like provide financial resources for law enforcement in border communities and money for things like health care that are also affected by illegal immigration.Her campaign spokesperson, Joe Wolf, said the ad was a response to voters who want to know where Hobbs stands on border security and support for law enforcement, not a response to RGA's ad campaign against her.

Of note: Hobbs earlier this year appeared to defend Biden's decision, saying Title 42 "isn't working" but later " Meanwhile: Lake has made border security and illegal immigration central issues in her campaign, vowing to finish former President Trump's border wall, destroy tunnels beneath the border and even authorize Arizona National Guard soldiers to arrest people suspected of entering the country illegally or smuggling drugs.
