arizona governor schweikert hobbs.

Rep. David Schweikert is joining an already crowded field in the GOP primary for Arizona governor. The race includes two Donald Trump-backed candidates — lobbyist and housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson and House Freedom Caucus member Andy Biggs. Schweikert tells The Associated Press that he’s running in part because he can do more good leading Arizona than trying to work in a dysfunctional Congress. The GOP primary winner will likely face Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in the general election. Schweikert’s seat is one of the few that’s highly competitive, raising Democratic hopes of flipping the narrow GOP House majority next year.
