Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday announced 35 appointments to boards and commissions throughout the state, including two appointments to the Arizona Racing Commission.
“Even in a pandemic, we need to keep our civic processes moving forward and ensure that government is fulfilling its responsibility to its citizens,” said Ducey. “Today's appointees each bring unique experience, judgment and expertise to their roles, and I'm thankful for their commitment to serving Arizonans.”
Ducey appointed Jana Propheter and Holly Hover to the Arizona Racing Commission. The Commission regulates and supervises racing and pari-mutuel/simulcast wagering.
The five-member Arizona Racing Commission has not had a quorum and has been unable to meet for much of this year. The commission is chaired by Rory Goree, with Chuck Coolidge the only other member until Ducey's appointment of Hover and Propheter.
Jana Propheter is the assistant field research manager for Metrostudy, a housing data provider. In her role, she recruits and trains surveyors and analyzes data for quarterly reports. She has worked with and owned horses and ponies for 30 years. Propheter earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Food and Nutrition from Arizona State University.
Holly Hover is the manager and trainer of Holly Hover Performance Horses in Cave Creek. In her role, she specializes in the preparation of youth and amateur competitors. In 2015, she was named Most Valuable Professional for the American Quarter Horse and was named Professional Horsewoman of the Year in 2017. Holly volunteers her time in the community and most recently served as the 2019 Head Western Coach for the Arizona State University Equestrian Team.
