Andy Biggs secures Republican nomination for Arizona governor

Republican challenger Biggs secured a decisive victory over incumbent Congressman David Schweikert in the Arizona primary, positioning her as the GOP nominee for governor in the November general election. The win, described by election officials as “overwhelming,” ends Schweikert’s bid for the governorship and underscores a shift within the state’s Republican electorate as they coalesce around a single candidate for the upcoming contest.

Biggs will now face Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who is seeking re‑election, in the November ballot. Both campaigns are expected to intensify as the state’s political balance remains closely contested, with voters set to decide whether Hobbs will retain the governor’s office or hand it to the Republican challenger. The outcome will shape Arizona’s policy direction heading into the next two years.
