Democrats Secure Arizona Statehouse and Governor's Office for First Time Since 1966

Democrats Secure Arizona Statehouse and Governor's Office for First Time Since 1966PreviousNext

Democrats won control of both legislative chambers and retained the governor's office in Arizona for the first time since 1966, giving them a state government trifecta. Governor Katie Hobbs, in her first term, vetoed over 540 Republican-led bills and plans to focus on water issues, affordability, and school voucher program reforms. Democrats also gained full control in at least six other states, including Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin, while Republicans maintained some legislative seats in states like Texas and New Hampshire.
