亚利桑那州共和党于周二举行初选，选出将挑战现任民主党州长凯蒂·霍布斯的候选人，同时确定众议院席位及各级地方公职的竞选对阵 [1][2]。
在州长竞选中，美国众议员安迪·比格斯和戴维·施韦克特代表党内不同派系展开角逐 [1]。比格斯获得特朗普背书及Turning Point Action组织支持，主张团结党派 [1]。施韦克特则主张低调、亲商业、财政保守主义立场，以区别于过去的特朗普忠诚者 [1]。特朗普此前也曾背书卡琳·泰勒·罗布森，但她于2月退选 [2]。
截至周四，已有约75.5万张选票投出 [2]。其中民主党选民投出约33.5万票，共和党选民投出约34.7万票 [2]。亚利桑那州登记选民总数约430万，包括约150万共和党人和120万民主党人 [2]。
此外，第1国会选区共和党初选中，杰伊·费利获得特朗普背书，但面临居住争议 [1]。该州多个国会选区也进行了激烈的党内提名争夺 [1]。
初选投票截止时间为当地时间晚上7点，美联社将在确定无翻盘可能时宣布获胜者 [2]。凯蒂·霍布斯被视为本届选举周期中最脆弱的民主党州长之一 [1]。
Arizona Republicans held their primary election on Tuesday to determine the party's nominees for governor and other top statewide positions [1][2]. The primary aimed to select a Republican challenger to Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who is regarded as one of the most vulnerable Democratic governors in the current election cycle [1][2].
Two U.S. representatives pursued notably different strategies in the gubernatorial race [1]. Andy Biggs received endorsements from Donald Trump and Turning Point Action, positioning himself to unite the party [1]. In contrast, David Schweikert championed a low-profile approach centered on business-friendly and fiscally conservative principles, distinguishing himself from previous Trump loyalists [1].
The race extended beyond the gubernatorial contest, with intense intra-party nomination battles occurring across multiple congressional districts in the state [1]. In Arizona's 1st Congressional District Republican primary, Jay Feeley received Trump's backing but faced questions regarding his residency [1].
As of Thursday, approximately 755,000 votes had been cast, with Democratic voters accounting for roughly 335,000 and Republican voters approximately 347,000 [2]. Arizona has roughly 4.3 million registered voters, including approximately 1.5 million Republicans and 1.2 million Democrats [2]. Voting concluded at 7 p.m. local time, with the Associated Press announcing winners once the race outcome could no longer be reversed [2].
