A member of the Arizona Board of Regents wants to try her hand at politics.
And Karrin Taylor Robson wants to start at the top, at least as state offices go.
In a video press release Monday, KarrinTaylor Robson, a Republican, used the November election results as a reason she wants to be governor.
“In just a few months we’ve seen the direction that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to take this country,” she said.
“And as Arizonans we need to fight back,” Taylor Robson continued. “We need to fight for Arizona values.”
Robson did not return repeated messages seeking clarification of those values or to answer any questions about her views on state issues, ranging from tax policy to education. Instead, she promised in her video to go around the state to hear from people on “how we can stand together and fight the radical Biden-Harris agenda.”
And in a separate statement on her campaign web site, Robson Taylor said she is “committed to do whatever it takes to defend Arizona from the radical left.”
