Historic: Meet the First Ever Lieutenant Governor

Arizona is one of the few remaining U.S. states without a lieutenant governor – that’s about to change in the 2026 midterms, thanks to a voter-passed proposition in 2022. As the state’s Clean Elections Commission web site states:

The Lieutenant Governor, a newly created workplace in Arizona, will exchange the Secretary of State as the successor to the Governor in the case the Governor dies, resigns, is eliminated from workplace or is completely unable to perform the duties of the Governor and serves until a successor is elected. Historically the Secretary of State has been the second in the chain of command since Arizona statehood in 1912.

And the deadline is fast approaching for each get together to make their historic working mate nomination official:

Candidates working for Governor must have their second-in-command at least 60 days previous the November election. This means shortly after the 2026 Primary Election remaining nominees must identify their working mates, if they haven’t achieved so already. Arizona voters will probably be electing the Governor and Lieutenant Governor on a joint ticket in the November 2026 General Election.

Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05) did not waste any time, saying his choose on Friday of a former state senator. And the video appears to show they’re interesting to the state’s many rural – and conservative – voters.
