Katie Hobbs
Governor
Democratic
https://www.katiehobbs.org/
Born and raised right here in the Grand Canyon State, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has dedicated her life to solving difficult challenges for Arizonans. In her time as a social worker and running a domestic violence shelter, Katie saw firsthand the price Arizonans pay when their elected leaders fail to address the problems people are facing day in and day out. Frustrated with the lack of leadership, Katie decided to run for office herself, and she used her experience as a social worker to take on Arizona’s toughest challenges. In the legislature, Katie worked with two Republican governors to provide healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Arizonans and to hold criminals accountable by clearing the rape kit backlog. As Secretary of State during the 2020 election, Katie’s office conducted the safest and most secure election in our state’s history amid unprecedented challenges to our democracy. Katie has never backed down from a tough fight, and she is a battle-tested leader with the strength and experience to get the job done. Now Katie’s running for governor to deliver real results for everyday Arizonans and finally bring the leadership required to solve the most urgent issues Arizona faces today.

I came into the State Legislature in 2018 armed with a life-long commitment to service and a fearless approach to problem-solving. From securing millions in funding to get our teachers support for distance learning, to advancing community college promise scholarships and helping hundreds of small businesses obtain grants; I plan to bring that same track record of success to the governor’s office. As an education entrepreneur, I know that we need leaders who can bring people together to get things done. That’s what I’ve done my entire professional career, both as an elected official and as the founder of two nonprofit organizations. To date, these companies, Jumpstart and Acelero, have helped nearly one million low-income children succeed. The opportunity to have a meaningful impact on people’s lives and on a large scale are two key reasons I entered politics–and a driving factor in running for governor. So much is at stake in this election; from funding our classrooms and increasing teacher pay to protecting voting rights and making sure we have sustainable solutions to climate change. Your vote has never been more consequential and I hope you'll join me in creating a better Arizona for all.
Marco Lopez
Governor
Democratic
https://marcolopez.com/
Marco Lopez is running for governor because he believes in the Promise of Arizona – the promise that if you work hard and treat people with respect then you can make it here. It’s this idea that led Marco’s parents to immigrate to Arizona from Mexico nearly fifty years ago. They didn’t start out with much, but they dreamed that Marco and his sisters could do better than they did. That’s just what happened – Marco was part of the first generation in his family to go to college, became one of the youngest mayors in the country at age 22, served Governor Napolitano as Director of Commerce, and then served President Obama at the Department of Homeland Security. Next, Marco started his own small business which has brought high speed internet to 1 million low income families and is on track to create 15,000 jobs in Arizona. Marco is running for governor because he believes the Promise of Arizona is still possible, but for too many people today it’s out of reach. Marco has the leadership experience in the private and public sector to make that promise of opportunity that brought his parents to Arizona a reality for everyone.

The governor is the head of the state’s executive branch which implements laws and policies, signs into law, or vetoes, bills passed by the Legislature, but his responsibility to the people of Arizona doesn’t end there. As governor, I’ll fight to restore our Constitutional rights, protect our freedom of speech, uphold the 2nd Amendment, guard state sovereignty, defend our religious liberty, uphold the rule of law and demand law and order both at the border and in our streets. I will fortify our border, secure our water sources, restructure Arizona’s failing education system, ensure parents’ rights involving their children’s curriculum, boost agriculture and manufacturing, clear our forests, advance senior in-home care, improve Veterans assistance and ensure that our active-duty military personnel and their families receive the support they deserve. Like many of you, I have worked hard for a front row seat in the American Dream, and as your governor I will do everything possible to make sure you have a fair chance to share and prosper. Thank you for your consideration and vote!

Our country is at a crossroads, and we need a strong conservative to put us back on track. That's why I'm running for governor: To protect the freedoms we cherish and leave a better world for my children and grandchildren. I am a champion for freedom. I'm endorsed by leaders like Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, FreedomWorks, and the Club for Growth. I co-founded the Freedom Caucus with Ron DeSantis and received top awards from conservative organizations across the nation. I have a proven record of delivering for Arizonans as an elected official and businessman with 30 years' experience in the private sector. I am the only candidate with detailed plans to secure the border, protect law enforcement, increase teacher pay, expand school choice, enshrine parents' rights, empower rural communities, eliminate the income tax, and expand economic opportunities for all Arizonans. I will not allow the far-left to turn us into California. I will fight with every bone in my body to preserve Arizona's unique traditions and secure freedom and opportunity for all. When I am governor, Arizona will be the best state in the nation to live, work, and raise a family. That is my promise to you.

My name is Karrin Taylor Robson. I am a native Arizonan, conservative Republican, small-business owner and lifetime NRA member. I love this state, and have spent my life fighting for the conservative values that help make Arizona special: Life; individual liberty; love of country; the 2nd Amendment; and more. I’m running for Governor because our state is under attack. Prices are soaring for everything Arizonans need, from gas to groceries. Families are hurting. Meanwhile, Joe Biden and the Radical Left have broken our border. Record-breaking illegal immigration is making Arizona communities less safe, and the drug cartels have a free pass to pump deadly narcotics like fentanyl into our neighborhoods. ENOUGH! I have a tough, 6-point plan to bring law and order to the border. I will surge National Guard and DPS troopers; enforce the law; crack down on sanctuary cities; partner with other states to share resources and intel; and FINISH THE WALL. No amnesty; no excuses. I believe Arizona’s best days are still ahead of us if we have the courage to fight – and I will never stop fighting for Arizona, my home. I ask for your vote. KarrinForArizona.com

A conservative champion of the middle class, Paola Tulliani Zen is in the race to fight for those who seek to become successful in the marketplace, in business, and in personal livelihood. “Families are very important to the well-being of a society,” said Zen. “And for families to thrive, the government must step back and let us live in freedom.

She will actually work for Arizona and uphold our constitution. Tulliani Zen learned from running her businesses that education and hard work go hand in hand. Tulliani Zen will make sure our education system becomes number one in the nation. As she notes, “And why not, we are smart, intuitive, and have just the right amount of grit in our fingernails to punch through obstacles that hold any of us back.” Seniors on fixed incomes struggling with the cost-of-living crisis will be helped as Ms. Tulliani Zen works to eliminate state income tax, property tax, and food tax. With her strong leadership experience and focused determination, she will deal with the troubling issues facing our state.
