2026 Arizona gubernatorial race: Biggs vs. Hobbs, running mates selected

GOP primary winner Andy Biggs selects Sine Kerr as running mate. Governor Katie Hobbs picks former Mesa Mayor John Giles (Republican) as Lt. Governor running mate under Prop 131. Giles is a centrist pick, potentially broadening Hobbs' appeal. New AARP poll shows Hobbs up 8 over Biggs, with Democrats also leading in AG and legislative generic ballot. The race is shaping up with contrasting strategies.
