Gov. Doug Ducey soundly defeated challenger Ken Bennett in the Republican gubernatorial primary Tuesday, as longtime educator David Garcia beat out state Sen. Steve Farley and YWCA leader Kelly Fryer for the Democratic nomination.
“I am grateful and humbled by the continued support we've received from Arizonans tonight," Ducey, who has raised millions of dollars for his re-election campaign, said in a statement. "Now we must come together again to ensure we build on the significant gains of the last three years to secure Arizona’s future."
Indeed, Garcia said Tuesday that momentum helped him "run an amazing campaign."
