PHOENIX - Arizonans won't get to see Katie Hobbs and Andy Biggs debate each other ahead of the November general election.
"Face-to-face engagement with Arizonans is more effective than a stage designed for short soundbites and political theater,'' Nicole DeMont, the governor's campaign manager, announced late Thursday. Instead, DeMont said Hobbs will focus on traveling around the state to listen to what people want.
Some of what Hobbs has called her Arizona First Tour, however, have been events arranged ahead of time, with a list of those who are invited to give their views to the governor. During debates, each candidate is asked questions by a moderator, and each then can immediately respond to what the other has said.
