Trump ally and former journalist who says the 2020 election was stolen emerges as early frontrunner
Former President Donald Trump’s favored candidate for Arizona governor has an early lead in polls and a track record of falsely saying the 2020 election was stolen.
Kari Lake, a longtime local news anchor, received Trump’s endorsement in the 2022 gubernatorial race last month.
“She is strong on Crime, will protect our Border, Second Amendment, Military, and Vets, and will fight to restore Election Integrity (both past and future!),” Trump said in a statement. “She is against Covid lockdowns, Cancel Culture, and will end ‘woke’ curriculum in our schools.”
The election is more than a year away, yet Lake is already attracting large crowds to her rallies. “I’ve never seen hundreds of people go to an event over a year out,” Tyler Montague, a Republican strategist in the state, told the Arizona Mirror about Lake’s speeches. And the few polls of the race so far indicate she is a very early frontrunner for the GOP nomination to replace Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, who can’t run again due to term limits.

I really hope a Democrat wins the Governor race in Arizona.
