Hobbs Vetoes Anti-Trans Bills, Urges Focus on Real Issues
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed three anti-transgender bills passed by the Republican-controlled legislature. These bills targeted transgender individuals’ ability to change birth certificates, restricted DEI initiatives in higher education and state agencies, and further limited transgender rights in public life. Hobbs, a vocal opponent of such legislation, cited the bills’ negative impact on the state and its workforce in her veto statements. Her actions blocked these measures, which passed along strict party lines, from becoming law.
