Andy Biggs

Andy Biggs has had decades in government. I am running because Arizona needs results.

Andy Biggs served for years in the Arizona Legislature, rose all the way to President of the Arizona Senate, and has been in Congress since 2017. He has introduced hundreds of pieces of legislation during his congressional career, but introducing bills is not the same as getting meaningful legislation across the finish line.

I also disagree with important parts of his record. Biggs voted against the final PACT Act that expanded healthcare and benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances. His approach to government is often driven by national ideological battles, while I believe Arizona's Governor needs to wake up every morning focused on Arizona.

My priorities are water security, affordability, stronger schools, higher teacher pay, protecting small businesses, responsible border security and legal immigration, universal childcare, protecting our farmers and rural communities, reforming AHCCCS and broken state agencies, protecting Fourth Amendment privacy, holding data centers accountable for their water and energy demands, expanding Arizona jobs and stopping fraud, waste and corruption—all without simply reaching into taxpayers' pockets for more money.

I am not running to represent the Republican establishment or the Democratic establishment. I am running to represent Arizona. I will work with Republicans, Democrats and Independents when their ideas are good for our state.

Andy Biggs offers Arizona more ideology. I offer Arizona problem-solving, accountability and a government that works for the people who live here.

Not Left. Not Right. Only Forward.

Katie Hobbs

Katie Hobbs has been in Arizona elected politics since 2011, serving in the State House, State Senate, as Senate Democratic Minority Leader, Secretary of State, and now Governor. During her four legislative sessions as Governor, she has vetoed more than 500 bills, reflecting the deep gridlock between her administration and the Legislature, and as a state senator she co-sponsored a 2018 proposal that would have increased Arizona’s gasoline tax from 18 cents to 36 cents per gallon. I believe Arizona needs a different approach. I will not increase taxes on hardworking Arizona families, and instead of governing through partisan warfare and mass vetoes, I will work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to negotiate solutions before bills ever reach my desk. My priorities are lowering the cost of living, securing Arizona’s water future, protecting school choice while demanding accountability, reforming failing state agencies, protecting small businesses, expanding job opportunities, strengthening disability and mental-health services, and eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse. Katie Hobbs represents years within the two-party political system; I represent independent leadership focused on results—Not Left, Not Right, Only Forward.

Risa Lombardo

Risa Lombardo does not have a record of serving in the Arizona Legislature or passing legislation, so voters should be careful not to treat her as an experienced lawmaker. Public records and reporting instead show a complicated political history: she was registered as a Democrat for years, voted in Republican primaries in 2022 and 2024, served as a Republican precinct committeeman, and then entered the governor’s race as a Green Party candidate; the Arizona Green Party itself has gone so far as to “actively oppose” her candidacy. There have also been reported questions surrounding her campaign spending and compliance with Clean Elections disclosure requirements, although those are allegations and should not be presented as proven violations unless formally determined by regulators. Where Risa and I differ most is that I am running as an independent voice with a detailed Arizona-focused agenda: lowering the cost of living, securing our water future, protecting small businesses and rural communities, reforming AHCCCS and state agencies, improving education, strengthening border security while supporting legal immigration, protecting constitutional rights, and confronting fraud, waste and corruption. I believe Arizona needs a governor whose positions are clear, consistent and centered on solving problems—not another candidate whose political identity leaves voters questioning where she truly stands.
