About this race

The 2026 Arizona gubernatorial election will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of Arizona. Democratic incumbent Katie Hobbs is seeking a second term. She is being challenged by Republican congressman Andy Biggs.

Primary elections took place on July 21, 2026. Hobbs secured the Democratic nomination unopposed. Biggs secured the Republican nomination over congressman David Schweikert with 73.6% of the vote.

Following the passage of Proposition 131 in the 2022 elections, this will be the first gubernatorial election in Arizona in which candidates will be required to nominate a running mate for the newly established position of lieutenant governor. This will be one of five Democratic-held governorships up for election in 2026 in a state that Donald Trump won in the 2024 presidential election.
