PHOENIX - Ignoring objections from one of their own with military experience, the state Senate voted Monday to confirm the pick of Gov. Katie Hobbs to head the Arizona National Guard.
The voice vote came despite Sen. Wendy Rogers pointing out that John Conley has no combat experience. In fact, the Flagstaff Republican said, he's never actually commanded any troops anywhere.
Rogers did not dispute that Kerry Muhlenbeck, Conley's predecessor, was also a lawyer, just like Conley, and also had never led combat troops.
