Democratic Arizona Secretary of State is facing a “mass exodus” of staff because of his behavior and mismanagement of the office he is running for reelection to this November, Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman revealed on Thursday.
This comes amid a close November contest between Fontes and GOP Secretary of State nominee Alex Kolodin, a current State Representative.
This news is reminiscent of former Secretary of State and current Governor Katie Hobbs. Hobbs stole the 2022 gubernatorial election from Kari Lake by a razor-thin margin after rigging the vote tabulators to fail on election day and counting hundreds of thousands of fraudulent mail-in ballots.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Hobbs’ campaign also faced a reported “mass exodus,” with whistleblowers crediting an “abusive and exploitive” atmosphere and a history of management troubles. The former staffers were left questioning Hobbs’ ability to lead the state as governor.
We later reported that Hobbs faced another exodus, with several resignations by top staff in the governor’s office after her stolen election. After taking office in January 2023, four staffers resigned by May 2023, including Hobbs’ legislative director, communications director, and her chief of staff.
So, this is nothing new for the corrupt top Arizona Democrats.
“Democrats in Arizona have a long track record of incompetence when it comes to running executive branch offices, so it’s no surprise that Fontes’ staff is looking to jump ship. We can’t forget that Katie Hobbs has had two mass exoduses while serving in statewide office, once as SOS and more recently as governor,” Hoffman told The Gateway Pundit.
“The reality is that Democrats have zero interest in running effective offices that do the work of the people. Democrats’ top priority has always been amassing power, control, and exploiting taxpayers for their own personal gain.”
Multiple sources reported to Hoffman that staff within the Secretary of State’s office are making a run for it due to his “abusive” behavior and mismanagement of the office that oversees elections in the state.
“Sources inside the Arizona Secretary of State’s office are blowing the whistle that Far-Left Democrat Adrian Fontes is reportedly ‘rarely in the office’ and that when he does show up he’s abusive and routinely screams at the staff. An impending ‘mass exodus’ of staff from the AZSOS is reportedly already underway,” a graphic shared by Hoffman reads.
According to Hoffman:
– SOS staff hates Democrat Adrian Fontes & can’t stand working for him
– Fontes rarely shows up to the office
– Fontes is abusive to staff when he actually bothers to show up
– Majority of senior staff already planning exit
– Mass exodus of staff already underway
– majority currently interviewing with election departments around the state & country
