Two Republicans have launched their bids for governor of Arizona in hopes of succeeding incumbent Gov. Doug Ducey in 2022, who will not be running due to term limits.

State Treasurer Kimberly Yee became the first major Republican to jump into the race on Monday, followed hours later by developer Karrin Taylor Robson.
