Throughout her time speaking, Lake touched on many issues, including border security, education, inflation, homelessness, individual liberties, and abortion. However, she did all this alone, as her Democrat opponent, Katie Hobbs, declined the invitation to attend the event, leaving an empty podium next to Lake on the stage.
