Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs faces allegations of a 'pay to play' scheme involving a group home with a state contract, sparking a bipartisan investigation.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell, alongside the nonpartisan auditor general, has taken up the probe despite GOP calls for Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes to recuse herself due to perceived conflicts of interest. The controversy centers around accusations that a group home company received favorable treatment and better pay rates for children in their care after donating approximately $400,000 to Hobbs’ campaign and inaugural fund.
Governor Hobbs has remained tight-lipped amid increasing pressure from Republican leaders, who have escalated their demands for an independent investigation into the matter.
