Via campaign of Karrin Taylor Robson for Governor
By Kevin Stone | KTAR
PHOENIX — Karrin Taylor Robson, who unsuccessfully ran for governor of Arizona in 2022, announced Wednesday she will seek the office again next year.
The announcement sets up a 2026 Republican primary showdown between Taylor Robson and U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs.
Taylor officially entered the fray after President Donald Trump gave her an early endorsement late last year, before any major candidates had declared their intention to run.
“Are you running for governor? I think so, Karrin. Because if you do, you’re going to have my support,” Trump said on Dec. 22 during a Turning Point event at the Phoenix Convention Center.
I’m in.

I am running for Governor so we can defeat radical Katie Hobbs, support President @realDonaldTrump, lock down the border, and create jobs for Arizona.
President Trump has endorsed me, and I hope you will join him and support our campaign today: https://t.co/FIEfx82FIk pic.twitter.com/072jCm3S0m
