Kari Lake is “dangerous for Arizona,” said Mesa Mayor John Giles, and that’s why he — a Republican — was at the park with Hobbs and not at Trump’s rally in the city he leads Sunday.

Democratic candidate for governor Katie Hobbs held a news conference Sunday morning at Barry Goldwater Memorial Park in Paradise Valley to emphasize that Republicans should support her over rival Kari Lake.
Several members of Hobbs’ “Republicans for Katie Hobbs Coalition” gathered with her at the park, which celebrates the state’s conservative icon who died in 1998 following five terms as a U.S. senator.
Karie Dozie, a former spokesman for the late state Attorney General Grant Woods, said Goldwater would be “shaking his head in disgust” at how “crazy” Republican politics have become.

“Those of us who support Secretary Hobbs care very deeply about the future of Arizona,” Giles said. “And that’s why we are putting our state above our party.”
November’s election isn’t between Republicans and Democrats, but “a choice between sanity and chaos,” he added.
