Debra May Hobbs, also known as Debbie Hobbs (born July 8, 1955), is a businesswoman from Rogers, Arkansas, who is a Republican former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives. From January 2013 to 2015, she represented District 94 in Benton County in northwestern Arkansas. From 2009 to 2013, she was the representative for District 96, now held by another Benton County Republican, Grant Hodges.
Term-limited in the House, Hobbs ran for Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas in the Republican primary election held on May 20, 2014. She finished a distant third with 16 percent of the vote; the nomination went instead to departing U.S. Representative Tim Griffin of Arkansas's 2nd congressional district. Hobbs had been a candidate for governor of Arkansas but decided to switch to the lieutenant governor position because of poor fundraising compared to her better-known primary opponents, Tim Griffin and Andy Mayberry.
Hobbs was born in Hörsching, Austria. She graduated in 1973 from MacArthur High School in Houston, Texas. In 1977, she procured a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville in Johnson County in northwestern Arkansas. In 1987, she earned a Master of Science in Counseling Education from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.
