Here’s who is running in 2022 to become the next governor of Arizona

Arizona will have a new governor since Republican Doug Ducey cannot run for the position again due to term limits.

Nine candidates will be looking to replace Ducey, submitting the required number of signatures to qualify for the ballot by the April 4 deadline.
