He was sworn in on July 17 at the conclusion of the NASS 2026 Summer Conference in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Hobbs has been an active leader within NASS, serving on the Executive Board, co-chairing NASS committees, and showcasing Washington’s efforts to strengthen election security, foster international relations, manage public records, and support state archives and libraries.
“From overseeing elections and supporting businesses to preserving state records, our offices carry out a wide range of critical functions that are essential to the communities we serve,” said Hobbs. “NASS provides an invaluable forum to collaborate, share ideas, and identify innovative approaches that reflect our shared commitment to effective public service.”
