“Republican policies made Arizona one of the most attractive places to live and a raise family over the past decade, but resulted in changing demographics that made Arizona one of the most competitive states in the country,” RGA Political Director J.P. Twist said in a statement.

The partisan group that seeks to put Republicans in governors’ chairs across the nation has booked over $10 million in Arizona airtime this fall — a preview of the flood of political advertising that will hit television screens across the state.
The Republican Governors Association announced Tuesday it will spend at least $31.4 million in five states, a third of which aims to influence voters in the Grand Canyon State just ahead of the November election.
The RGA’s spending here, more than double what it paid for television advertising in 2014 and a third more than 2018, reflects Arizona’s standing as a swing state near the top of both parties’ priority lists in the 2022 midterms.
“Republican policies made Arizona one of the most attractive places to live and a raise family over the past decade, but resulted in changing demographics that made Arizona one of the most competitive states in the country,” RGA Political Director J.P. Twist, an Arizona native and Ducey campaign alum, said in a statement.
He said the advertising would “not allow people who fled liberal strongholds for the Grand Canyon state to forget” what drew them to the state.
