On Tuesday, former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey endorsed both President Donald Trump and Kari Lake.
Ducey’s endorsements created a seismic shift across the Republican Party, sending a message of unity to members who had shunned Trump and Lake for past statements about GOP establishment favorite, the late Sen. John McCain.
In 2022, the governor endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson, who ran against Lake in the gubernatorial race.
Taylor Robson has also endorsed Lake.
As chair of Arizona PAC I want to congratulate the winners of the GOP primaries tonight.

“Much is on the line this election year & I’m encouraging all eligible Arizonans to vote & prioritize the issues that most affect our state & nation,” said Ducey in a press release. “I will be voting for Republicans up & down the ballot in November — and both Donald Trump and Kari Lake have my endorsement…Differences aside, there is too much on the line and only a Republican in the White House and a majority in the House and US Senate can ensure it.”
“For eight years, Governor Ducey transformed our economy and our education system. He made Arizona a destination again. But radical Democrats like Ruben Gallego want to take that away,” said Lake. “Doug Ducey supports me because he knows it’s never been more important to unite all Arizonans and win big in November. Thank you Governor!”
