Why did Katie Hobbs not recuse herself from her chief election officer duties that cause her to have a conflict of interest with her being on the ballot running for governor?
Good question.
A sane or decent person would have done so.
In fact, the Arizona statutes require it.
Statute 38-503. Conflict of interest; exemptions; employment prohibition
B. Any public officer or employee who has, or whose relative has, a substantial interest in any decision of a public agency shall make known such interest in the official records of such public agency and shall refrain from participating in any manner as an officer or employee in such decision.
But she has also filed lawsuits in her official capacity.
