In the wake of Matt Salmon’s exit from the Republican gubernatorial nomination race, State Representative Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek) – founder of the Arizona Legislature’s House Freedom Caucus – issued a statement urging the former state representative’s supporters to switch their support to Kari Lake.

“A lot of good, principled, stalwart conservatives were supporting Matt,” he said. “Matt was proven. Matt is out of the race now. Kari Lake is the ONLY America First candidate in the race for Governor now.”
Hoffman cited his own conservative record as “one of the most conservative members of the Arizona Legislature” to back up his endorsement.
