Arizona Governor Picks GOP Running Mate | Tucson News

Arizona’s Governor Katie Hobbs may be teaming up with a Republican, former Mesa Mayor John Giles, to run for lieutenant governor — a bold move in a state that doesn’t currently have the office. Though official confirmation is pending, reports from the New York Times suggest Giles, who endorsed Biden and Harris and recently backed Hobbs, could be her pick. This strategy comes as Republican Andy Biggs has already chosen his running mate, Sine Kerr. If this plan moves forward, Arizona would create its first lieutenant governor position — one that could reshape the state’s line of succession if the governor were to leave office. All eyes are on whether this surprising alliance will hold up come November. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
