In honor of Republican candidate for governor Karrin Taylor Robson already running TV spots...well more than a year before her primary.
In 2022, Arizona voters approved Proposition 131, which created a Lieutenant Governor (Lt. Governor) position in Arizona politics.
The language is now part of Article 5, Section 1, Paragraph C of the Arizona State Constitution. The candidates for lt. governor will be named by the candidates for governor before the general election.
It's time for some speculation about who they might name. :)
Note: this is NOT a prediction; my prognostication abilities when it comes to internal R politics are less than optimal
My thinking is that the primary candidate for the will be current state treasurer Kimberly Yee. She's termed out of the treasurer's slot, and while she may run for governor (again!), my guess is that the only way she gets through a primary with Robson and Andy Biggs is if they split the MAGA vote and she gets the rest.
Probably not gonna happen.
I *do* think that she'd help Biggs more in the general - if nothing else, she's seen as less crazy than him.
On the other hand, if/when he feels it necessary to boost his nutjob bonafides, Kari Lake is available.
On the Democratic side, I have no clue (not even for idle speculation). Though, I bet that whoever is interested in the gig is busily jockeying both for position and for Governor Katie Hobbs' attention.
