On Sept. 30, U.S. Rep. David Schweikert said he wants to be Arizona’s next governor, shaking up what was already expected to be a contentious race among Republicans who want to try to unseat incumbent Democrat Katie Hobbs.
Schweikert, who has served as a state legislator and Maricopa County treasurer before being elected to Congress in 2010, has become a significant factor in what until now has been a head-to-head contest between fellow GOP Congressman Andy Biggs and business owner Karrin Taylor Robson.
It also makes him the only Republican who does not have the endorsement of President Trump in the party.
