Katie Hobbs (D) defeated Steve Gaynor (R) in the 2018 general election for Arizona Secretary of State, as Gaynor conceded on November 16, 2018.[1] With over 2,332,516 votes counted, Hobbs defeated Gaynor by 20,252 votes, 50.4 to 49.6 percent. Incumbent Michele Reagan (R) filed for re-election to a second term but was defeated by Gaynor in the primary election. This office had been held by a Republican since 1995.

Since Arizona does not have a lieutenant governor, the secretary of state race was also an election to be next-in-line for the governor's office. AZ Central reported that four of the nine preceding governors in the state have moved to the office from serving as secretary of state because a governor resigned or was removed from office.[2]

###  Steve Gaynor

Steve's Plan

Restore Voter Confidence

Steve will work to preserve and strengthen Arizona’s requirement for proof of citizenship to ensure that only United States citizens vote.

Follow the Law

Unlike our incumbent, Steve will ensure that the Secretary of State’s Office follows all of the laws governing elections. The Election Procedures Manual required by A.R.S. 16-452 will be published on time. Information pamphlets will be timely mailed. Confidence will be restored.

Improve the Law

Several aspects of Arizona election law need to be updated and improved. Areas such as ballot harvesting, the procedures to fill vacancies and redistricting are examples. Steve will work with the legislature to update and revise these statutes.

Save Money

Steve will not tolerate failed information technology projects that are years behind and over budget. He will assess the entire Department of State to streamline operations and reduce cost.

Rebuild Relationships

In January 2017, all 15 County Recorders wrote to Michele Reagan stating their relationship was “in dire straits.” This remains the case today. Steve will establish respectful, cooperative working relationships with the County Recorders and all other parties who depend on the Secretary of State.

Take Cybersecurity Seriously

There is good cause for concern that our election infrastructure is vulnerable to attack. Our election systems are a high priority target for our enemies. In a recent outside evaluation, Arizona scored a “D” in election security, and was in the bottom third of the 50 states. Governor Ducey has established the Arizona Cybersecurity Team to protect Arizona from cyber attacks. Steve has the background in information technology to make sure that the Team and the Secretary of State’s office work together effectively to improve and secure Arizona’s election systems.[5]

###  Katie Hobbs

A Champion for All Arizonans:

As Secretary of State, Katie will continue the fight to make every Arizonans' voice heard. The foundation of our democracy is the right to vote, and she will act to end the outrageously long lines and crippling incompetence that are preventing Arizonans from participating in our elections. She will fight to protect access to the ballot because that is the key to building the Arizona we want for our children and grandchildren. Especially in this moment, when our national politics have become dangerously polarized and divisive, our state officials should be dedicated to serving the best interests of the people of Arizona. Katie has worked to do just that throughout her life and, as Secretary of State, she is committed to continuing that mission.[3]
