Arizona state political campaigns and polling

Overview

The Arizona political landscape is characterized by competitive races for several state offices. In the gubernatorial contest, incumbent Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs holds a lead of 49% to 43% over Republican challenger and U.S. Representative Andy Biggs.

Biggs has centered his campaign on economic affordability, border security, and water management. He has criticized the Hobbs administration, claiming the state has transitioned from being highly affordable to one of the least affordable. Regarding water, Biggs has advocated for augmentation strategies and infrastructure investment rather than a primary reliance on conservation for Colorado River allotments.

Other state races also show close competition. An Equis Research survey indicates a tie between Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes and Republican Warren Petersen, both at 45%. Additionally, Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes holds a narrow 46% to 44% lead over Republican Alex Kolodin.
