The disgraceful Chair of the Governor’s Nominations Committee

Letter to the editor, by Jennifer Dawson.

Fake elector, Trump supporter and Sen. Jake Hoffman, R-Queen Creek, had proven to be a racist bully as Chairman of Committee on Director Nominations.

Jake Hoffman must be removed immediately as chair of the state Legislature’s Director Nominations Committee.

He has no credibility as a man of integrity: he was one of the Arizona ‘fake electors’ attempting to overthrow the 2020 election, and has refused to admit it or take any responsibility for his actions.

He seems unable to treat Gov. Hobbs’ nominees (and his fellow committee members) with any kind of respect, dignity or fairness.

Senate president Warren Petersen must remove Mr. Hoffman immediately and replace him with someone who will treat the office of chairperson with the integrity, courtesy and dignity it requires, and who will give the same to the nominees who come before the committee.

Mr. Hoffman is an utter disgrace to his position.
