In Arizona, the 2026 gubernatorial primary is scheduled for August 4, with Democrat Katie Hobbs facing Republican challengers such as Karrin Taylor Robson, Andy Biggs, and David Schweikert. Early polls indicate Biggs leading with 50 percent among GOP voters while Taylor Robson holds 17 percent. Voter concerns have shifted from immigration to economic matters influencing the November 3 general election.
In the United States, 36 states will hold gubernatorial elections in 2026 alongside three territories, totaling 39 contests. Republicans are defending 18 seats while Democrats hold an equal number in this cycle. Ratings classify races by competitiveness considering incumbency, partisanship, and historical trends.
Robson was born on July 28, 1964, in Mesa, Arizona. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in history and political science and a Juris Doctor from Arizona State University. Her career includes federal policy roles and real estate before founding a consulting firm. As a Republican, she placed second in the 2022 gubernatorial primary and launched her 2026 bid with initial support from Trump.
