2022 AZ Governor's race: on Jobs


Katie Hobbs: Recruit, hire, and elevate women and minorities

Recruiting, Hiring, and Elevating Women and People From Underrepresented Communities: Katie knows representation is critical to ensuring all Arizonans are heard in a Hobbs administration, and across all agencies of the government. That's why Katie will continue to focus on recruiting, hiring, and elevating women and people from underrepresented communities across the board, including in senior leadership.

To spur the growth of minority- and women-owned businesses, Katie knows access to capital is critical but many of these businesses face unequal lending access from large banks, even as underrepresented communities have a higher rate of starting or running a business. Katie will work with the legislature to develop a program administered by the Arizona Commerce Authority aimed at easing access to capital by providing fixed-rate loans and lines of credit to these entrepreneurs.

Katie Hobbs: Eliminate the tipped minimum wage

Eliminating the Tipped Minimum Wage. The tipped minimum wage is disproportionately harmful to women and people of color, particularly Black women, who earned on average nearly $5 less per hour than their white male counterparts. Katie will work to eliminate the tipped minimum wage, which will reduce poverty and inequality while promoting total employment growth for small businesses.
