Katie Hobbs
Governor
Democratic
https://katiehobbs.org/
Born and raised in Arizona, Katie Hobbs understands the challenges everyday Arizonans are facing. Growing up in a working-class family in Tempe, she sometimes relied on her church community and food stamps to get by. Katie worked her way through college at NAU and ASU, becoming a social worker and eventually helping to lead one of the largest domestic violence shelters in the country. Katie ran for office because career politicians were too caught up in partisan politics and weren’t solving problems. As governor, Katie has always worked to find common ground and has never stopped fighting for Arizonans.
As governor, Katie Hobbs has delivered real results by setting politics aside and putting Arizona first. Katie is fighting to bring down costs that keep rising because of Washington’s failed policies. She championed middle-class tax cuts to save 88% of Arizonans money, give seniors an additional $6,000 deduction, and eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay. To make housing more affordable, she has repealed the tax on rent, helped first-time homebuyers with down payments, and eliminated red tape. While Washington politicians slashed healthcare, Katie cancelled $642 million in medical debt for almost half a million Arizonans and cut the cost of prescription drugs by up to 80%. She canceled leases of a Saudi Arabian corporation pumping Arizona’s groundwater and shipping crops overseas. And she has worked across the aisle to deliver over $215 million to our local law enforcement working to secure the border and stop drug and human trafficking. Her efforts have led to the seizure of 12 million fentanyl pills and nearly 5,000 pounds of meth. Katie has stood up to politicians of both parties here and in Washington, and she won’t back down until every Arizonan has the security, opportunity, and freedom they deserve.

Risa Lombardo
Governor
Green
I was born in New York City, where I went to school and started my family. We moved to Arizona in 1991 and for 35 years this is where I raised my two daughters (both graduated from Peoria schools and ASU) and had a successful career working as a legal secretary/assistant. After being in both major parties, I registered with the Green Party because its platform best reflects my principles. I don’t have a lengthy political resume because I’m not a career politician. I’m someone who loves Arizona and wants to rise above the political games to get things done!
I’m running for Governor to be a voice for everyone being ignored by the major parties, and to champion issues that matter to every Arizonan. I’ve been registered with both major parties, although I spent most of my life as a Democrat. Each party has some elected officials who can be admired or respected in some way, but on the whole, neither party seems interested or capable of fixing the problems we face. Equal opportunity for everyone, based on our individual merit. Fair and transparent elections to ensure our voices are heard and reflected in the outcome. A responsible environmental plan to protect our air and water. And meaningful reforms on critical issues like education, homelessness, and the prison system. Other challengers don’t offer much in these regards, and four years with Katie Hobbs as Governor has produced no progress at all. We deserve better but won’t get it until we stand together in sufficient numbers that we earn the attention of the powers that be. When they realize they need us, they’ll listen to us and work with us. Join this campaign movement and let’s reward candidates who want to fix our problems, not just talk about them!

Hugh Lytle is a problem solver, entrepreneur, healthcare innovator, and Independent candidate for Governor. His career has served those left behind or ignored by traditional programs. He founded Equality Health, which provides care to low income, largely Hispanic communities with more than 800,000 patients across five states.

Lytle was named the 2024 Pacific Southwest Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young. He and his wife Barbara founded the Hugh & Barbara Lytle Foundation and have three adult children.
Why I’m Running: I’m running for Governor because Arizona deserves a government that actually works for its people, not one that’s constantly stuck in partisan fights. For too long, Republicans and Democrats have been more focused on scoring political points than solving real problems. The result is higher costs, growing frustration, and a sense among too many Arizonans that their voices don’t matter. I’ve spent my career building businesses, creating jobs, and solving problems by bringing people together around practical solutions. I’m not a career politician, and I’m not interested in playing the same broken game. I’m running to change how our government operates. As an Independent, I answer to no party and no political machine. I answer to the people of Arizona. That means focusing on what actually works. Lowering costs, improving our schools, strengthening our economy, and making state government more accountable and responsive. This campaign is about more than one person or one election. It’s about giving Arizonans a real choice and a new path forward. One rooted in common sense, respect, and results. If we’re willing to step outside the old divisions and work together, we can build a stronger, more united Arizona.

Scott Neely
Governor
Republican
https://neely4governor.com/
Scott Neely brings bold ideas and strong leadership to Arizona. A lifelong entrepreneur who started his first business at sixteen, he built his career from hands-on concrete work to founding Action Concrete Pumping and Action Concrete Pumping Supply in Arizona. He has contributed to major state projects-including the Arizona-Mexico border wall and infrastructure across the Valley-and founded the National Shotcrete Association to train future operators.
Scott Neely is the voice that Arizona has been waiting for - the voice that refuses to be ignored, pushed aside, or talked over. He speaks with the fire and conviction of someone who knows exactly what everyday Arizonans are going through, because he’s lived it too. While career politicians argue, Scott stands up and says what the people have been shouting for years: Enough. It’s time for real leadership. Scott is a true conservative with the backbone to fight for what matters. He doesn’t just list Arizona’s problems; he confronts them head-on with bold, clear solutions rooted in common sense and real-world experience. But what sets Neely apart is this: he isn’t just speaking to the people - he’s speaking for them. His message breaks past party lines and resonates with Republicans, Independents, and Democrats who feel unheard, overlooked, and tired of politicians who don’t deliver. Scott Neely is the people’s voice. The voice of the fed up. The voice of the forgotten. The voice ready to fight for a stronger, safer, freer Arizona. And he’s just getting started.

Friends, As the father of two young children, I’m usually up early. I like to watch the Arizona sun rise over our deserts and mountains and greet the new day. But as I look out across our great state, I ask myself: What is Arizona becoming? Do we drift down a path that mirrors the struggles of California, losing what makes us unique? Or do return to the principles that built this state we call home? Principles of strength, freedom, and opportunity that have always defined Arizona’s soul. I’m running for Governor to shake things up. To bring bold, unapologetic conservative leadership to state government just like I’ve done in Congress. In Congress, I helped write President Trump’s tax cuts, voted for the largest spending reduction in American history, and fought for the toughest border security laws out there. In the months ahead, I want to hear from you. Together, we’ll talk about our vision for Arizona-a place where every family can thrive, every worker can prosper, and every child can dream big. This is our Arizona. Let’s make it the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Let’s make it home again.
