Arizona’s secretary of state has many election-related and administrative functions. But one task, once mundane, has been politicized by some of the candidates vying for the office: election certification.Here’s how that works.

One task, once mundane, has been politicized by some of the candidates vying for the office: election certification.

Arizona's Republican primary for governor debate goes off the rails with highlights of the event going viral on Twitter.

A televised debate scheduled for those running for the democratic nomination for Arizona governor in the 2022 election will only feature one candidate, according to officials with the Arizona State University, which owns the television station that is scheduled to air the debate.

What was supposed to be a debate between Arizona's Democratic candidates for Governor ended up being a one-man interview with Candidate Marco Lopez and Arizona PBS' Ted Simons.

Marco López is onto something. If Donald Trump could use pardons to protect criminals, a governor could use them to protect reproductive freedom.

So, when the four remaining candidates in the Republican governor's race meet in the Clean Elections-Arizona PBS Governor's forum Wednesday night the stakes were high.

Kari Lake, Scott Neely, Karrin Taylor Robson and Paola Tulliani Zen spent much of the hourlong debate on Arizona PBS talking over one another.

Arizona PBS will broadcast the debate among the GOP candidates for governor at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Kari Lake doesnt want to take questions from an Arizona Republic reporter during the one-and-only televised debate of GOP candidates for governor.
