Next meeting


Speaker: Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs
Saturday, December 14 – 9:30am to 11:00am
Risky Business (8848 E Tanque Verde)

The speaker at the December meeting of the Tanque Verde Democrats will be Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. Secretary Hobbs will discuss election security, increasing voter turnout, and the progress she has made in her first year in office.

Secretary Katie Hobbs was inspired to run for Secretary of State because the focus of her life has been to help others to gain security, to be heard, and to create better lives. Her life’s work has included volunteering at her church, working as a social worker and chief compliance officer at one of the largest domestic violence centers in the U.S., and serving as an Arizona Representative and Senate minority leader. She brings her years of experience to ensure that the Office of Secretary of State runs productively, and that Arizona elections are secure, fair and efficient.

The Tanque Verde Valley Democratic Club presents speakers of interest to Democratic voters on the second Saturday of every month at 9:30 am at Risky Business (8848 E Tanque Verde Road). Meetings are free and open to the public, so please feel free to drop in.

To join the Tanque Verde Valley Democratic Club please email your name, address, telephone number and email address to Beth Isabelle (bethisabelle@gmail.com)
