Hobbs withdraws agency director nominees in move to sidestep Senate confirmation

Gov. Katie Hobbs is withdrawing 13 unconfirmed cabinet nominees from Senate consideration while leaving them in place as "executive deputy directors" who will continue leading their agencies.

 

Why it matters: It's a response to what she called a "political circus" created by Senate President Warren Petersen and the committee he created to vet her nominees, which has dragged out the confirmation process and subjected some nominees to intense scrutiny.

 

Hobbs' move includes directors for major agencies like the Department of Administration and Department of Economic Security.

The governor "will pursue other lawful avenues of ensuring state government can continue to function for Arizonans," she wrote in a blistering letter to Petersen.

The intrigue: Agency directors can only serve for a year without Senate confirmation, but Hobbs believes they can serve longer as executive deputy directors, gubernatorial spokesperson Christian Slater told Axios Phoenix.

 

Catch up quick: Traditionally, agency director nominees go before relevant committees for approval before the full Senate votes on their confirmation.

What is the meaning of the name Arizona?

The Good Oak Tree

Based on studying historical documents, Garate found evidence suggesting that the name Arizona is a Basque word meaning “The Good Oak Tree.” In Juan Bautista de Anza: Basque Explorer in the New World, 1693-1740, Garate argues that early missionaries to the area did not note Arizona as a native settlement.
