Arizona Gov. David Schweikert?
You read that right: U.S. Rep. David Schweikert has floated a possible run for state governor after dismissing the possibility that he would run for Sen. Jeff Flake’s seat in 2018.
A spokesman for Schweikert told reporters on Wednesday that the Arizona representative may run for governor in 2022 in an effort to unseat Gov. Doug Ducey.
Earlier that day, Schweikert signaled in an interview with Business Insider that he may not run for Flake’s senate seat next year.
“I love the illusions of grandeur but I’m not sure I have the burning passion that that type of race would take,” he said. “From a personality standpoint, I’ve often had a long-term goal of maybe governor just because that seemed to fit me more personality wise.”
