Arizona Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs files sanctions against former candidate Kari Lake – By Greg Wehner (FOX News) / Dec 26, 2022
Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs is seeking nearly $37,000 in attorneys’ fees and legal expenses associated with Kari Lake’s gubernatorial challenge
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who was announced the winner of the gubernatorial race just days ago, joined a Maricopa County motion seeking sanctions against her opponent, Kari Lake.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ruled against Lake’s challenge to the result of the November gubernatorial race in which Hobbs was declared the winner by about half a percentage point.
Thompson, who was appointed by then-Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, found the court was not presented with clear and convincing evidence of widespread misconduct Lake alleged influenced the 2022 general election results.
