Karrin Taylor Robson Announces 2026 Arizona Governor Bid with Trump Endorsement

The Republican businesswoman emphasizes border security, economic growth, and alignment with President Trump in her second gubernatorial campaign.

Karrin Taylor Robson, a Republican businesswoman, has launched her campaign for Arizona governor in the 2026 election, highlighting support from President Donald Trump.
Robson's campaign focuses on border security, economic development, and reversing policies of Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, whom she criticized for making Arizona less safe and affordable.
This marks Robson's second bid for governor after losing the 2022 GOP primary to Kari Lake, who narrowly lost to Hobbs in the general election that year.
Robson faces competition in the Republican primary from Congressman Andy Biggs, who has also garnered support from prominent Trump-aligned figures.
Arizona's gubernatorial race is expected to be highly competitive, with Republicans viewing the state as a prime opportunity following Trump's 2024 victory there by over 5 percentage points.
