Arizona is fortunate to have two strong Republican candidates for governor, either of who could serve the state creditably if elected.
One of those candidates, Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, lines up with our values more squarely than do the other five candidates seeking to carry the GOP banner into the general election campaign against Democrat Fred Duval. Smith also did a spectacular job leading Mesa from being an after thought to a city brimming with excitement about its future. He would be a fine Arizona governor.
