'Aggressively moderate Democrat:' Joy Hofmeister talks about her politics as she gears up for gubernatorial run
b'
When Joy Hofmeister announced last year she would run for governor in 2022, it wasn\\u2019t a surprise. Her name had been tossed around for the last couple years as a potential opponent for incumbent Republican Kevin Stitt.
But what did come as a surprise for some was that Hofmeister, a lifelong Republican, was running as a Democrat. Many wondered what that meant \\u2026 would she govern as a dDemocrat? Was she running as a Democrat merely in order to avoid a costly primary battle with Stitt? And where does she fall on topics like abortion access?
On today\\u2019s Listen Frontier podcast, I talk with Hofmeister about these topics and more.
