Former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey Endorses Republican Candidates
Former two-term Republican Governor Doug Ducey has made headlines by endorsing key Republican candidates in the upcoming elections. Despite his past differences with some of these candidates, Ducey’s endorsement carries weight within the party.
In a recent statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Ducey expressed his support for Donald Trump, the party’s presidential nominee, and Kari Lake, who is running for the U.S. Senate. Ducey emphasized the importance of having Republicans in positions of power to address critical issues facing the country.
During his time in office, Ducey championed important issues such as border security and school choice. He urged eligible Arizonans to prioritize these issues when casting their votes in the upcoming election.
Despite his support for Lake, Ducey has had a complicated history with the candidate. He previously endorsed Lake’s primary opponent, only to switch his endorsement to Lake in the general election. This move reflects the shifting dynamics within the Republican party and the challenges faced by candidates seeking office.
While Ducey was a loyal supporter of Trump during his first term, their relationship soured after Ducey certified the 2020 presidential vote in Arizona, which Trump lost. The former president criticized Ducey for his actions, leading to tensions between the two.
Despite the challenges faced during his tenure, Ducey continues to be an influential figure within the Republican party. He currently leads Citizens for Free Enterprise, an organization that promotes free enterprise and conservative values.
As the election approaches, Ducey’s endorsement of key candidates like Kari Lake will be closely watched. With Republicans looking to regain control of key positions in government, Ducey’s support could have a significant impact on the outcome of the election.
