Arizona Rep. Austin Smith has expressed his views on Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' selection of nominees for state agency directors. In a statement, Smith suggested that Hobbs would have an easier time getting Senate approval if she stopped nominating "progressive activists" for these positions. Smith's comments come after Hobbs retracted her nominations for multiple state agency directors earlier this week, effectively removing them from Senate consideration.
