Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ Chief of Staff, Allie Bones, has resigned after working with Hobbs for four and a half years. She worked in her current role for five months.

Hobbs (D-Ariz.) announced the move in a press release on Thursday.

“Allie Bones exemplifies the true meaning of a public servant, and I am incredibly grateful for her leadership throughout the transition and this first legislative session of my administration,” the Democrat said. “Her goal was to build a team that could work across the aisle to navigate divided government, and she accomplished that. With a successful bipartisan budget behind us, she’s ready for her next endeavor, and I wish her nothing but the best.”

Kari Lake (R-Ariz.), Hobbs’ gubernatorial opponent in the 2022 election, shared her thoughts on Twitter after the news was released.

Everyone close to @katiehobbs is fleeing as fast as they can.Hobbs is a disaster. She's a sinking ship.

I just hope she doesn't take our state down with her. https://t.co/N1UWMBsF6t
