Split among Mormon women could matter in Arizona governor's race
About 442,000 Latter-day Saints live in Arizona, and some Mormon women say John Giles and Andy Biggs have made party loyalty harder to choose.
- In Arizona's closely watched governor's race, two members of the Latter-day Saints are on opposite tickets: Rep. Andy Biggs and Gov. Katie Hobbs, leading Mormon women to reach sharply different conclusions.
- About 442,000 Latter-day Saints live in Arizona, roughly 6% of the state's population, making the split potentially decisive in a state Hobbs won by about 17,000 votes in 2022.
- Some Republican and independent Mormon women told ABC News that Mesa Mayor John Giles' presence on the ballot and Biggs' vote against certifying the 2020 election pushed them toward Hobbs.
- Tatiana Pena, a South Phoenix mother, supports Biggs to protect "family values," while others fault Democrats for "focusing on the wrong things" instead of strengthening the state's economy.
- University of Arkansas professor For Brittany Romanello notes shared faith no longer guarantees a vote as women prioritize morals. Tyler Montague adds that abortion may have less influence this year following the 2024 ballot measure.
