Rep. Andy Biggs won the Republican primary for Arizona governor and will face Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in November. The race is expected to test Republicans’ chances of reclaiming the governorship in a state described as increasingly competitive.
Biggs defeated his only serious primary challenger, Rep. David Schweikert, and began turning his attention to the general election against Hobbs. The article says Hobbs had also shifted her focus to Biggs, and that her campaign had raised substantial funds and begun running ads.
During the Republican primary debate, Biggs emphasized his working relationship with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Mark Kelly, saying, “I know how to reach across the aisle.” The article also notes his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election and says Hobbs’s campaign has criticized his anti-abortion positions and that role.
