Karrin Taylor Robson: Another Trump-Puppet that Won’t Lower the Cost of Living

Government and Politics

February 12, 2025


On Feb 12th, Arizona Democratic Party Chairman Robert E. Branscomb, II released the following statement in reaction to Karrin Taylor Robson’s intention to run for Governor of Arizona: 

“Wealthy lobbyist and corporate developer Karrin Taylor Robson is more concerned about earning Trump’s support than doing what’s right for Arizona. Taylor Robson is in for a long, nasty primary fight that will force her to double down on her already extreme positions like criminalizing doctors who perform abortions and gutting funding for Arizona’s public schools. Meanwhile, Gov. Hobbs is forgiving medical debt and welcoming hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs to Arizona– things that are actually helping working people. Under my leadership, the Arizona Democratic Party will do everything possible to support Governor Hobbs and her work to move Arizona forward”

Karrin Taylor Robson has supported Trump’s disastrous policies which are set to: 

- Raise prescription drug prices 

- Put a 25% tax on families and businesses in the state through reckless tariffs

- Eliminate worker protections 

- Shut down the Department of Education 

- Decimate National Institutes of Health funding for cancer research, Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment, and other life-saving healthcare

Additionally, Taylor Robson will have to defend Trump’s broken promise to bring down costs:

- January’s CPI report shows inflation has skyrocketed.

- Trump is downplaying and walking back his biggest campaign promise after weeks of focusing on everything but lowering the cost of living. 

The Arizona Democratic Party is focused on protecting incumbent Democrats and electing more Democrats up and down the ballot this next election cycle. Voters can visit azdem.org to make a donation or learn more about key priorities within the Party.
