More beds, more arrests: Kari Lake's plan for homelessness echoes ... (AZCentral.com)

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake proposed expanding shelter services and more policing. Here's what housing advocates think of her plan.

The Hobbs campaign said her economic plan would save Arizonans money and help them stay in their homes. And if urban camping is banned, that leads unsheltered people to hide, making it harder for service providers to find them and connect them with resources. And each time, it led to people being “disappeared” — usually in jails or prisons — rather than good faith attempts to solve the underlying social problems. "We are launching a multifaceted homelessness plan to comprehensively tackle this critical issue facing too many Arizonans. that criminalize homelessness, from the neighborhood level to state and national levels. “I think it’s really important to ask what the outcome we’re trying to achieve is. “Calling the unhoused ‘drugged out and deranged’ paints the rhetoric of a human that should be feared. Criminalization policies create unnecessary hardship for both people experiencing homelessness and service providers working with them, Oliva said. And more information is needed about how certain aspects of Lake’s plan will be developed, funded and carried out, such as getting people mental health or substance use treatment, she said. The plan proposes many policy and systemic changes, from expanding shelter services and substance use treatment to encouraging aggressive policing of minor crimes. Carr agreed with some of Lake’s proposed solutions — such as increasing access to substance use treatment — but disagreed with further criminalizing homelessness. It is a model that made its way into federal housing policy during the George W.

LAKE: But you guys are (inaudible) a lot of corruption in the system and they don't want -- I think a lot of people who were responsible for that election know that there were rules broken and laws broken. KARL: As governor, and I know you have to work with others on this but as governor would you seek to change the election laws? KARL: But -- but let's be completely clear. She just put out 10,000 -- 6,000 ballots that went -- the wrong type of ballots to the wrong people -- LAKE: -- to be completed.

No matter what I ask you, you always bring it right back to the election.

"She is more likely than not to win her race for governor of Arizona," says conservative Rich Lowry.

"What's new about Lake and MTG is that loyalty to Donald Trump and the insistence that the 2020 election was stolen are now the litmus tests for this grassroots populism."

At the same time, she's a reminder of the oldest of conventional political adages — candidate quality matters," Lowry wrote. "She is more likely than not to win her race for governor of Arizona, and then would have to be considered the favorite to become Donald Trump's vice presidential pick should he win the Republican nomination again in 2024."

Shoring up support from party supporters may be crucial for both Lake and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Katie Hobbs in what could be a close election.

And ultimately, that's the key to success. But as a former Republican, I became even more concerned with the fact that we have Republican candidates who are fundamentally peddling lies about the 2020 election,” she said. “The Democrats are doing their homework, they're knocking on doors, they are making telephone calls, they're sending direct mail. And that is an appeal. Pearson says Hobbs is charting a similar path to victory as that of President Biden, who never matched the fervor Trump brought to campaign events in Arizona in 2020. “There is a desire across party lines to make politics boring again, and just get back to basics.
