Arizona Republicans pick nominees Tuesday for governor and other top offices
Republicans are choosing nominees in governor and congressional primaries as Trump-backed candidates and election-fight messaging shape several competitive races.
- On Tuesday, Arizona Republicans are selecting nominees to challenge Democrats for top offices, including the race against Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, as the GOP searches for a path back to power in the battleground state.
- Rep. Andy Biggs aligns closely with Trump and the grassroots conservative movement, while Rep. David Schweikert maintains careful distance, aiming to win over swing voters turned off by Trump loyalists like Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for governor four years ago.
- Former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, endorsed by Trump, faces scrutiny for alleged misconduct, which he dismisses as "slander and lies," while Republican Rep. Jay Feeley competes for the 1st Congressional District seat vacated by Schweikert.
- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is supporting Marlene Galán-Woods in her primary against Amish Shah, while retired Marine drill instructor JoAnna Mendoza seeks to challenge Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani in the perennially competitive Tucson race.
- These primaries determine candidates for secretary of state and attorney general, posts with direct power over elections in a state that was pivotal for Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 loss after the Jan. 6 riot.
