Another man who threatened then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs sentenced to prison

A man who made threats against then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in 2022 was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on Monday, Justice Department officials announced during a news conference on threats to state election workers.

Joshua Russell, from Ohio, made multiple death threats, according to the Justice Department, leaving a series of voicemails for Hobbs, calling her a “traitor” and warning that her days “are extremely numbered.” He pleaded guilty last summer to one count of making a threatening interstate communication.
