What Governor Hobbs Has Actually Done

In 2022 and 2023, Katie Hobbs was one of the most vocal defenders of youth gender transition policy in Arizona. As the political winds have shifted, so has her willingness to talk about it. Here’s the record.

2022

On the Campaign Trail

Then-candidate Hobbs publicly criticized Arizona’s existing restrictions as “cruel” and pledged support for youth gender transition policy on social media.

2023

The First Veto — and an Executive Order

Governor Hobbs vetoed SB1015, legislation that would have banned irreversible gender transition procedures for minors in Arizona. Weeks later, she signed Executive Order 2023-12, affirmatively directing state action in support of gender-affirming care access. That same year, she also vetoed a bill that would have barred teachers from using a student’s chosen pronoun without written parental permission.

2024

The Pattern Continues

Hobbs vetoed SB1182, which would have required schools to provide separate locker-room showers for students unwilling to share facilities with transgender classmates. She also vetoed the “Arizona Women’s Bill of Rights,” which would have defined sex strictly along biological lines in state law, and a bill requiring insurance companies to cover “detransition” procedures.

2025

Still Vetoing

In May 2025, Hobbs vetoed three more bills passed by the Republican-controlled legislature — one that would have barred transgender individuals from updating the gender marker on their birth certificates, and two others targeting transgender people in higher education and the workplace.

Now

Silence

As public opinion has shifted, Governor Hobbs has gone quiet — no public defense of the vetoes, no reaffirmation of the executive order. Arizonans deserve to know where she actually stands, in her own words and actions.

It’s Personal, Too

This isn’t just a distant policy debate for the Governor. Her own household works professionally inside Arizona’s pediatric gender-transition system — in the very field her vetoes and executive order protect. That work has included facing legal allegations tied to the treatment of a minor patient, allegations that remain part of the public record. Arizonans deserve to know the full picture behind these decisions.
