There were few surprises in Arizona’s Democratic and Republican primaries on Tuesday.
As expected, Rep. Andy Biggs won the Republican primary in Arizona’s race for governor and will face off against Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs.

I’ll be watching the Secretary of State election. Adrian Fontes has been poison to AZ politics for way too long.
Arizona politics has been Californicated for decades. Hopefully they will regain some sanity and integrity.
Hobbs, Mayes, Fontes and the rest of AZ Dems are as radically far left as AOC, Mamdani, or Kamala. All for DEI, Trans kids, Open Borders, Abolish ICE, Anti-Cop, etc. And if they actually admitted it, they’d join the DSA. AZ in far from “progressive”. As long as AZ RINOs don’t deliberately undermine the R candidate because of Trump hate, Rs win.
Assuming Hobbs has the guts to debate Biggs, he better get his s__t together now and drive that bi___h back to hell!!
I bet Hobbs won’t debate. Biggs should exploit that.
