“Arizona has been a jobs magnet, but it’s time we become a jobs juggernaut -- where if you want to work, you can. Because here we won’t stand in the way of jobs; we welcome them with open arms. And we’re just getting started,” Governor Ducey said during the speech.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Treasurer Kimberly Yee, Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman and Mine Inspector Joe Hart also took the oath of office. Robert Uribe, Democrat Mayor of the City of Douglas, served as Master of Ceremonies while the grandchildren of the late Congressman Ed Pastor led the Pledge of Allegiance.
“Today I recommit to be governor for all the people,” Governor Ducey said.
“Civility and collaboration will carry us forward. This isn’t Washington, D.C. Here, we know each other. Name-calling and game playing don’t work. Good faith and good will, do.”
With the Governor of Sonora, Mexico, Claudia Pavlovich, also in attendance, Governor Ducey highlighted the continued partnership between Arizona and Sonora.
“Over the last four years, we’ve worked hard to build a relationship that’s founded on trust and mutual respect,” he said. “And today, I’m proud to say we’re more than just neighbors with Sonora - we’re partners, and that partnership is leading to more growth and prosperity for both our states.”
