2026 Arizona gubernatorial election

Arizona is considered to be a purple state at both the federal and statewide level. After Joe Biden carried the state narrowly in the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump carried the state of Arizona by 5.5 points in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats control both U.S. Senate seats in Arizona and hold the governorship and secretary of state office. Meanwhile, Republicans maintain a majority in the Arizona Senate and Arizona House of Representatives, and control 6 of the 9 House of Representatives seats in the state. Democrats have characterized this race as key to establishing a Democratic trifecta in Arizona for the first time in 60 years. ==Democratic primary==
