PHOENIX — The contenders for governor are hoping to sway voters in what is expected to be a close race by each portraying the other as soft on crime when it comes to protecting victims — and children in particular.
But the record about what has become Exhibit No. 1 for Katie Hobbs’ claim that Andy Biggs is unfit for governor may not be as clear as the incumbent is claiming.
Hobbs has made a point of attacking Biggs over 2013 legislation in Arizona that would have allowed the state to disband the police department in the polygamous community of Colorado City amid allegations its officers were taking their orders from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
