Today, Governor Hobbs delivered her 4th State of the State address as the 2nd Session of the 56th Legislature kicked off. At a time when over 60% of Arizona voters think the state is on the wrong track, Governor Hobbs laid out her agenda to move Arizona forward.
Stand for Children Arizona applauds the Governor for continuing to prioritize crucial investments in education and reducing costs for working families. We look forward to the legislature taking up these measures to support Arizonans.
According to our 2025 Survey of Arizona Voters, a super-majority of Arizonans (75%), including 59% of Republicans, believe there is a need for additional funding for public education.
“We are happy to see that Governor Hobbs continues to lay out a pro-affordability and pro-education agenda for Arizona and will help to reduce costs for working families,” said Stand for Children Arizona Executive Director Rebecca Gau. “We look forward to working with Governor Hobbs and the legislature to lower costs for Arizonans on these and other issues like affordable child care. We also must provide needed resources to Arizona’s schools by renewing Prop 123 and continuing to fund successful and cost-effective 9th Grade On-Track programs. These steps will give Arizona families a chance at a brighter future.”
