PHOENIX — Advertising executive Beau Lane became the latest Republican to join the field in hopes of becoming Arizona’s next secretary of state.
Lane, executive chairman of LaneTerralever, said in his announcement video he was running to restore faith in Arizona’s elections, which he said was a victim of “an erosion of trust.”
“I’m done watching politicians using partisan rhetoric to divide us and bring skepticism in our democracy to an all-time high,” Lane said. “I’m committed to restoring faith, trust and integrity to our voting systems.”
Lane, who touted in his video that he wasn’t a career politician, enters a Republican side ripe with political experience.
