I have been keeping up with this race pretty closely. Polls here have Lake ahead by 10 points. Hobbs is not very articulate and is simply not comfortable with a mic or in front of the cameras. Lake, on the other hand, has spent her working life in front of the camera. I watched her every morning n the local Fax station for years. She was very popular and she stunned Arizona when she announced that she was leaving broadcast TV.I keep reading that Katie Hobbs refuses to debate Kari Lake and that is hurting her campaign. And yet the polls show the race is neck and neck. So is it possibly a good tactic on her part to steer clear? If she debates and does badly (which most people seem to think would happen) she would almost certainly lose. So how is refusing to debate hurting her campsign?
I had the opportunity to speak with her casually at a gathering after a charity golf tournament before she entered the political arena. She is extremely pleasant, well spoken with a broad base of knowledge. Her position of the border is very popular. She has my vote.
