Opinion: Katie Hobbs won’t be a visionary governor. (It’s been decades since we had one of those.) But my money’s on her getting some things done.

Suddenly, Katie Hobbs is front and center in Arizona. So now what?
The quiet candidate who was overshadowed by her louder, shinier opponent on Monday evening showed us exactly why she won.
“For the Arizonans who did not vote for me, I will work just as hard for you – because even in this moment of division, I believe there is so much more than connects us,” she said. “We all want safer streets, a secure border, better schools, lower costs, and water for generations to come.”
Contrast that with what Lake would have said, had she been elected. I’m pretty sure it would have gone something like this:
“Boom! We the people have spoken. Those losers in the party of McCain can go suck it and Katie can go back to her basement. I 100% deserved this even though they tried to steal my victory. Now, I’m going to spend every day of the next eight years taunting my enemies because I am a movement. On Day 1, I will declare war on the border, the media, Maricopa County and anyone else who dares to get in my way. MAGA forever.”
Yeah, I’m going to miss her, too.
There are deals to be made in the House
