If elected, he would replace Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who could not seek re-election because of term limits. His supporters included Tea Party favorites Sarah Palin, Tea Party Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, and hard-line Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Doug Ducey for governor.
Knowing the Toledo Blade they won’t have much good to say about him.
The article seems pretty darn bullish.
Just saying.
The Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, and Conservatives are irrelevant!
LOL!
Will he win?
The Blade and Pittsburgh P-G are owned by the same bunch of Liberals.
Have no idea.
Just saying.
He’s running in Arizona, but this article anyway seems pretty bullish.
Good question... Will he win, or will AZ go the way Kansas seems to be going with its own governors' race?
What are the dynamics in those states?
Here in PA it sadly appears to be that “public schools and other public services are underfunded because the 1% and Grrrreeedy corporations aren’t paying their FAIR SHARE!”
That and the fact that Tom Corbett’s squish routine has thoroughly depressed Conservatives.
Notice what is missing in the title of all articles from the MSM coverage of this win?
The words Tea-Party.
At least he had enough sense to get out of Toledo.
If anyone should have been the tea party candidate, it should have been Andrew Thomas. He was taken out as county attorney for attempting to go after corruption in government. He was anti illegal alien anti corruption.
To be fair I don’t really know Ducey. I do know his TV ads swearing to end illegal immigration were series of false promises the governor of AZ has no power to do and the state has no money to do. Especially when the border patrol will deliver them to the nearest handout office.
That alone makes me think he is disingenuous at best and say anything to get elected.
I think Ducey, should he win will fit in well with past AZ governors such as Evan Mecham Fife Symington Rose Moffert and Janet Napalitano. Quite frankly stacked up against those people Jan Brewer looks like a savior from heaven.

“Ducey, the current state treasurer, was endorsed by both Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Utah Gov. Mike Lee, and many other conservatives also endorsed Ducey for governor.”
