Andy Biggs won the Republican gubernatorial primary by a wide margin, while Warren Petersen led the still-uncalled Republican attorney general primary. Both races will determine the GOP nominees for November’s statewide contests.
Biggs won more than 73% of the vote in the Republican governor primary, while David Schweikert received 15%, Scott Neely 7% and Ken Miceli 5%. Biggs said he was grateful for voters’ support and pledged to work to earn votes in the general election.
In the Republican attorney general primary, Petersen led Rodney Glassman 56% to 44%, but the race had not been called. The candidates emphasized their legal experience, and Petersen declared an early victory at Biggs’ election night watch party. Katie Hobbs and Kris Mayes ran unopposed in the Democratic primaries.
